Excellent Attorney, very impressive!

Joseph Lee Nemelka has been my attorney for almost 3 years and has been great. I have recommended him to numerous people because I have been so impressed. If you are looking for an attorney you will not be disappointed. He is honest, and has a lot of years of experience and knows his stuff. He al...ways gives good advice and his fees are more than fair. He fights for what is best for his clients and makes you feel very reassured.

Couldn't have been better

As a divorced father with children I was concerned that I would already be at a disadvantage in the legal system. Joseph was stellar in the helping to keep my children with me most of the time. He was honest and knowledgeable. Joseph did not try telling me what I wanted to hear. He told me what w...as relevant/important could explain the reasons behind his guidance. When your bitter ex-spouse comes after you for more money under the guise of getting the children more often it is stressful enough. It was legitimately comforting having Joseph in my corner. I have already recommended him to one friend and one family member, and would absolutely do it again!

Great Lawyer--Highly recommended

Joseph is the ultimate professional. He is extremely passionate about his occupation and there is no better advocate for his clients. I have worked with Joe on several different levels for over 10 years and would highly recommend him to any of my friends who were in need of family law advice or servi...ces. Fabulous attorney!

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.
