Fantastic!

Joe was absolutely spectacular in handling my case. I was traumatized after my accident and Joe was not only informative but kind and comforting as well throughout the process of my case. I was kept consistently informed and always felt incredibly comfortable thanks to the care and kindness they show...ed me. Truly a wonderful law firm and I can't thank them enough for everything.

Professional, compassionate, personal and results-oriented!

Our experience with Joe and his team was outstanding! After our daughter was injured, we were left feeling upset, unheard and afraid the company would hurt more children. Joe listened carefully and compassionately to our concerns and frustrations. Leaving no stone unturned, he was able to build a cas...e that allowed us to seek justice for our daughter and hold the company truly accountable for their neglect. Joe was incredibly responsive, accessible and knowledgeable, guiding us gently through the complicated process. It was a pleasure working with Joe: he worked hard, firmly building a case on indisputable facts. He stood up for our daughter when we could not. I would strongly recommend Joe and his amazing team to anyone - he truly will work with you to do the right thing.

Handled Every Detail-Including the Stress!

Joe was amazing-and I don't think my situation was easy. I had two different accidents 6 months apart: car accident, December 2012 when I was injured by a gentleman that ran a stop sign in Denver then in June 2013 I was hit by a car while riding my bike in Iowa (two different states also created a c...hallenge)........so things got a bit complicated, as each tried to blame the other for my permanent injuries. Joe was amazing-truly handling every detail, especially the stress that goes along with this type of situation. He answered every question I had-even if they were multiple times, or questions he wondered why I was asking. I highly encourage anyone that needs a professional, knowledgeable, consistent and personally caring attorney to hire Joe-you will not be disappointed.

A consummate professional and very thorough

Joe Lapham represented our family in 2009 after our son, Quinton, transitioned due to a traffic accident. As you may imagine, this was a tough time for our family; our emotions were all over the place. Joe handled this difficult scenario with grace and gentleness. He saw us through this difficult ...time; he was patient while we were impatient and edgy. Joe is a consummate professional and very thorough as he saw our case to fruition. We strongly recommend Joe Lapham as an attorney.

Superior!

Joe Lapham and his team assisted us in 2009. Joe worked closely with us and made sure our needs were well taken care personally, financially and whole heartedly. I highly recommend this firm to represent you should you have a need for a personal compassionate lawyer.
