Professional and Helpful

5.0 star rating 4/28/2017 Joe and Michele took the time to help me through a divorce that was initially supposed to be easy and self represented but then escalated. Joe is a true professional. He is not the "bull dog" type lawyer. He works best as a mediator. He has a calming presence that serv...es to deescalate highly contentious individuals and get to a fair resolution quickly. Michele is knowledgable, helpful and friendly. She was able to answer most of my questions when Joe was not available. I can say without a doubt that by working with Joe, my divorce was relatively painless and it saved me and my ex a lot of money in the long run.

Without a doubt....the best.

Joseph and Michele were very helpful with my divorce. I just needed help with making sure the papers were being filled out correctly and they not only did that, but gave excellent advice and I felt very reassured that all would work out. They are both very easy to talk to and are very welcoming. Not ...your typical minute timer lawyer. I have had bad experiences with lawyers before and I will never again use anyone else besides Joseph Battle Carnohan.

Joseph Battle Carnohan

Divorce is never easy but some attorneys can make it even more difficult. Joeseph Carnohan is very different and builds a case based on positive and mutual respect for both sides. We were referred to Joe Carnohan by a friend, Our case had become extremely difficult prior to working with Joe and M...ichelle, his paralegal. We were amazed right from the beginning. Not only is he knowledgeable about family law, but very professional and presented his case extremely well. Even one of the judges referred too and acknowledged his ability to make difficult cases work in the pass during one of our hearings. He has a history of taking difficult cases and getting everybody to work together. He took our difficult case, in the middle and still did an outstanding job!! His paralegal assistant, Michelle, also outstanding, and always there. Both were very helpful in easing the emotions, explaining how everything works and what to expect. They were right on every time we went to court. Joe was Amazing in presentation, and logic in all matters. He always knew what was most important. Wish he had been our first and only attorney and would Highly Recommend him to anyone.

Divorce

I was referred to Joseph by my first attorney, to finalize my divorce and have , she represented me on a Limited Scope Basis. Once this case went to the litigation phase, I spoke to Joseph. He was above board with what can possible happen, the Judge can rule in our favor or not. He spoke with my fi...rst attorney, she brought him up to speed on all the details of this case. I met Joseph at the day of the hearing, his presence was one of professionalism, knowledgeable of Family Law and very well prepared. He presented his Points of Authority and made references to other cases. I was nervous, who wouldn't be, his confidence made it easier for me to relax a bit. The Judge ruled in our favor, there are not enough words to say thank you, I have been very fortunate to come across two professionals who are very committed to their profession. I recommend him highly.
