Horrible

This joker doesn’t care about law, justice, or his clients, he cares about his pocket book and his Jaguar. He should have retired decades ago when he wasn’t asleep at the wheel. Shame on you Joe.

Good and what he does but feel he has lost the passion behind being a lawyer and fighting for clients

I herd great things about him and paid a pretty penny when it came to getting the "best of the best". I feel like he did what he had to do to help my case but didn't really feel my needs or feelings were important. He was strictly business. I wanted him to fight for what was right but instead he jus...t made sure i didnt get screwed over. I guess he did his job but was a bit of a jerk in the process. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone else because of his lack of communication skills and lack of empathy for my situation. He also didnt make me feel like we had a strong case but yet after continuing with someone else and not giving up the fight me and my children couldnt be happier living together and not paying child support after i was told that "we would have to pay something" since you are the father. Not true. Pick someone who cares about your case.
