BEST attorney. Don’t look further!

Amazing firm. Not enough words to describe Joseph qualities. He is beyond compassionate, skilled, honest, and very responsive. He knows his field! We hired him to help with some family agreements, but he was simply an amazing being all along, even after helping us he was there for me with all his kn...owledge and expertise in family law. Cristina, is Joseph’s assistant, she’s the most kind ever. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and honest lawyer you’ve found it!

Excellent experience with Joseph Kirshy at Owen and Perkins

I spoke twice with Joseph Kirshy about my particular situation. He was generous with his time and advice and was clearly very knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased to be able to consult him and I really appreciated the time he spent to explain the possible options available to me, accord...ing to the specifics of my case. I am happy to be able to honestly recommend him and his firm.

Joseph went above and beyond

Joseph literally went above and beyond for me numerous times In my family court situation. What I was dealing with was so stressful, so confusing, so heavy, and Joseph is highly knowledgeable and was nothing but empathetic, efficient, and extremely communicative throughout the entire time. I cannot r...ecommend him enough!

Fantastic Lawyer

Having a defense that optimistically supports you through a legal battle is essential. Joseph was that and much more. He maintained an email conversation with me for almost 6 month and most importantly he was always on my team. He always had a plan of attack followed with a strategic back up plan. Jo...seph made what could have been a very difficult life changing situation legally disappear.

A complete waste of money

We went to Cordell and Cordell for tweak to my sons visitation with his son August 2018. We hired them to help settle a dispute of visitation and was assigned Joseph Kirshy. He suddenly was out on maternity leave and did not seem to know the case well enough to put a proposal together for the oppos...ing party. After spending $9200 from August to December and making an arrangement to pay an additional $5000 trial retainer on 02/20/19 Mr Kirshy withdrew from the case on 02/10 because he sent an email requesting the additional $5000 that was not responded to until 2 days after he withdrew. We hired a new attorney who in 45 minutes saw many mistakes and things missing. Thank God he withdrew or we would have probably lost the case and we were only requesting 2 weeks of summer vistation. And to change the 2 visitation days per week by 1 day.

Laurie: It was unfortunate that Mr. Kirshy was assigned the file shortly before his paternity leave, as it did not provide him with sufficient time to put a comprehensive proposal together, as you noted. As to withdrawing, Mr. Kirshy simply followed the policies and procedures of Cordell as he was required to do. Our policies at Owens & Perkins are very different from the policies at Cordell and anyone working with Mr. Kirshy at O&P would find a very different experience. Michelle J.
