Very Happy With Results

I hired Joyner law mainly to give me peace of mind with a frivelous civil case that got brought against me by a representive of my landlord, which was just ludicrous and completely fabricated. However, I still needed a vigorous defense to risk having that womans lies showing up on my record in the f...uture. Joyner Law (and Andrew specifically on the lawyer side and Derek on the coordination side) were able to come through and get the case dismissed without issue, and were able to give my the insight into the process and reassurance I needed to sleep better while the case moved forward, and was eventually dismissed. I can't recommend them enough - they got the job done I hired them for, they were communicative throughout the process, and genuinely helped me navigate what for me was uncharted territory. They handled all issues that popped up professionally, and at the end of the day got the results I wanted for what I think was a fair price for the service I receive. 5 stars for sure -- thanks to Andrew, Derek, and the rest of the team! My record remains clean and I no longer have to worry about this dark cloud hanging over me anymore - and I can finally move forward with everything else going in my life!

Prompt and thorough. Thank you!

Mr Joyner was quick to respond to my initial request for consultation calling me back within 15 minutes on a Saturday. Upon being hired, he was quick to begin working with the court and thoroughly reviewed the information provided during discovery. He was prompt to provide updates and information as ...soon as he had something to pass along or discuss. While I'd prefer to have not required his services, I am satisfied with his performance.

Careless driving

John was very helpful and patient with me. He did all I hoped for and will have my careless driving citation removed from record. Thank you John Joyner!

Great lawyer does his job througholy

John did a great job representing me in my felony drug case. He was able to get some charges dismissed and my felony drug possession reduced to a misdemeanor.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
