Abandoned my 10 year old life time brain injured client on eve of trial
This "attorney" (Joseph H Low IV) agreed to take on my 10 year son's life time brain injury civil law suit. Just before, and on the "eve" of the trial, he (Joseph H Low IV) backed out and left this child hanging. He ( Joseph H Low IV ) , and his "partner", had to "appear" in court to withdraw from th...

Awesome
I cannot give enough praise or recommendation for Joseph Low. I am an active-duty Marine Gunnery Sergeant, and received a DUI in town along with some other charges. He immediately reassured me that he would fight hard for my case in town, but also warned me of the wrath that would soon be coming from...
Joseph Hawkins Low IV's Lawyer Endorsements
"An exceptional litigation attorney whose reputation speaks for itself. Highly recommended lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer.I've worked with Joey for a number of years. He is a very hard worker, and a strong and compassionate advocate. He takes pride in his work and law practice. He is able and willing to put in the time to properly represent his clients. Joey will not be "pushed around" by the government. He stands up for his clients. His study and application of the law is meticulous. I consider Joey to be one of the most effective and knowledgeable advocates in the United States. He pays attention to the details of his cases. Most important, Joey listens to and works to understand his clients. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. A highly skilled and respected member of the legal community who is committed to obtaining the best outcomes for his clients."
"Joey Low is uniquely qualified to help anyone who needs a trial lawyer. I worked with him at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, where he is on staff and I was a student in September 2012. Joey is tough/ compassionate, intuitive and brilliant, and a very caring and real human being. You can trust him with your life."
"Joe is an amazing advocate. He is also extremely intelligent. If I needed an attorney I would beg him to take my case."
"A role model for all trial lawyers. I endorse this lawyer."
"As an active duty defense attorney at Camp Pendleton, I knew the name "Joe Low" before I ever met the man. Each time I observed Joe in court, it astonished me how his pure desire to zealously represent his clients would beat the government into submission. I hope to continue to learn from him at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College next year."
"If I were in trouble I would call Joey"
"I endorse this lawyer. Joseph Low is one of the finest attorneys there is. Simply stated, he is a master of his craft."
"As a member/student of the Trial Lawyers College, I have had the unique pleasure and privilege of being instructed by Mr. Low. He is one of the best, and his record proves it."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. A roaring good lawyer with very special talents and gifts as a communicator and advocate for his clients."
"My endorsement is simple. I would pick Joseph Low to represent me if I were facing a criminal charge or if I needed to pursue a civil claim. He's the best there is."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have attended workshops where Mr. Low was the invited speaker. He is a brilliant trial lawyer. The way that he thinks about a case, and how to present a case to a jury, is unparalleled. He is sharp, tough, and loves his clients. This is a man you want in your corner. Especially if you or your family member is facing serious criminal charges."
"Joey is someone who is willing to lay it all out there for a cause or a person that he believes in. He is someone who cares deeply for his clients and for the cause of justice. He is one of the preeminent lawyers in the nation and is the kind of person and lawyer that will outwork, outthink and outlast any opponent. I wholeheartedly endorse him to anyone in need."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Joey Low's trial skills are phenomenal and he fights tirelessly for his clients."
"Joey Low is one of the elite trial lawyers in America, not just California. He is a student favorite on the faculty of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming, and this summer he taught me how to slice and dice an arresting officer in a case I was struggling on, and what do you know the week I get back and try it - NOT GUILTY. Joey has an amazing record in the most serious criminal charges including sexual assault of a child, the hardest case to try in front of a jury if the State has any evidence at all. If you hire him he will find a way to win your case, and if you associate him as an attorney he will do the same. It cannot be put into words how amazing Joey Low is, and trial lawyers around the nation - especially those in Trial Lawyers College - can give you a laundry list of his accomplishments. Thank you Joey for being a teacher and a mentor, and the criminal bar is very fortunate to have you as a member. Joey Low will be a household name in the next few years."
