Mr. Nakos is excellent. Recommend Highly

I hired Joe to help me with my divorce and the getting through the process. My ex-husband and I had separated amicably and already decided on child custody, support, and division of assets. That said, there's still a lot of detail to the process I had no idea about. Also as expected, even for the mo...st amicable situations, there were some tense moments with my ex. Joe made sure to educate me on options and consequences and protect my best interests. His knowledge and experience is phenomenal. I recommend him highly. Even if your situation were not as easy as mine, I am confident that Joe would be the best expert in your corner.

Great attorney!!!

Joe is a very responsive lawyer. I was almost always able to reach him right away by phone. If he wasn't available he always returned my calls within a few hours or the next day. He answered my questions in a way I could understand. He was very nice, but I saw a very tenacious side to him when my ...husband and his attorney were not cooperating. Joe fought for me hard and all my expectations were met.

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.
