Hire this attorney and staff for anything they do!

Joe took our case that another attorney wouldn't and made an unbearable situation bearable for what's left of my family. He is fair, fearless and forthright. He has lots of skills, knowledge and energy combined with a very competent staff to make him an even stronger advocate for his clients and a ...potent adversary to his opponents.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
