"Joy Bertrand is an outstanding trial attorney and a superstar in the specialized field of federal criminal defense. Her attributes include a razor-sharp intellect, an encyclopedic knowledge of the law and a genuine compassion for her clients. What strikes me most about Ms. Bertrand is that she routinely achieves excellent results in cases that seem hopeless to other criminal practitioners. I am one of many attorneys who rely on Ms. Bertrand for advice in complex legal matters and I have seldom needed to call anyone else."

"Joy's results in prior cases speak for themselves. You would be hard-pressed to find a smarter, more dedicated, harder working criminal defense lawyer in the Phoenix or Milwaukee areas than Joy. Additionally, she is extraordinarily loyal to her clients. I recommend her work without reservation."

"Who can you trust to protect your rights and see that Justice is served? I say with confidence, it is Joy Bertrand. If you are charged with any crime in Federal or State Court OR if a Governmental agency has infringed on your rights, you need to talk to Joy Bertrand. Joy is skilled in the Court room and is able to advance your interest and protect your rights. Joy's passion and dedication to the Constitutional Rights that every citizen enjoys enables her to advocate with conviction and confidence. Joy's specialized training at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer's college, where I met her, sets her appart from other attorneys. It is here where I realized that Joy is not only a talented attorney, but she truly cares about her clients, her family, her friends and the pursuit of Justice."

"I met Joy at the highly prestigious Trial Lawyer’s College. Attorney Bertrand has earned a reputation for effectively representing people accused of a crime. She has the necessary reputation, knowledge and experience to eliminate or diminish the consequences of the government's accusation. Sheis a very effective and skilled litigator who has the abilty to stand up to the government and their accusations. If you or a loved one have been accused of a crime you need to speak with Joy Bertrand"

"When you have the power of the Federal Government coming down on you, there is only one attorney that has the legal skills, heart, and tenacity to defend you and that is Joy Bertrand! Joy not only has an exceptional legal mind but she is all heart and pours her soul into every case that she takes on and fights for her clients as if they were her family. The bottom line is that Joy knows how to win cases because she knows every detail of the Government's case, knows how to tear it down, and knows how to show the jury the truth! I whole heartedly endorse Joy!"

"As a criminal defense lawyer whose practice is largely federal criminal defense, I unhesitatingly recommend Joy Bertrand to any client or attorney seeking co-counsel or local counsel. It is rare to find an attorney as knowledgeable and skilled in strategy who also has the emotional intelligence to inspire her to passionate defense. Joy has an intuitive and common sense fusion which enables her impeccably to assess any witness' likely impact, and she has the rock-solid resolve to give any prosecutor second thoughts."

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.
