Highly recommended
Joel rescued my divorce when I thought all was lost. The friend that recommended Joel said to me "for every thousand bad attorneys, there is one good one - Joel." Joel was very personable, honest, and to the point. He proved his experience in a messy, complicated divorce. There is nothing more terri...
"Joel is patient, courteous and knows how to diffuse very contentions situations. It's no wonder why he is a certified family law specialist by the State Bar of California."
"I have known Joel for over 25 years. He treats clients with the utmost respect and has extensive knowledge in all facets of family law. He is one of the few attorneys that I trust with my referrals."
"Joel is an emotionally intelligent family law attorney, something I don't see very often. He understands the importance of facilitative mediation in family law, something that involves de-escalating conflict, improving communication between the parties, and actual problem-solving. He's assertive and not unnecessarily aggressive. Study after study has shown that a facilitative approach typically leads to higher quality outcomes from the clients' perspective. He's also extremely well-versed in family law and is skilled at managing his clients' expectations. If I were still litigating cases, I'd likely handle my cases in a similar manner."
