Stop Searching, This is the Right Team!

My marriage took place out of state and after meeting with several attorneys who charged $4,000+ and promised unrealistic divorce dates I found Joseph and Michele. To my amazement the entire divorce cost me a fraction of what I was quoted by other offices. In addition, Michele weathered the storm of ...dealing with my Ex-Husband who did everything he could to make this process painfully slow. In moments where I felt desperate Michele exercised all legal options. Lastly, Joseph knows his laws! Where other’s missed key important facts Joseph and Michele jumped right into the legal books and started researching to find the REAL answers. I knew I was walking into this Divorce with ALL of my bases covered. Don’t hesitate to pick this Law Office! You’re in Safe and Honest Hands. *On a side note, I had always had a bit of a fear when it comes to the Legal World, but Michele taught me the ropes and walking into courthouse isn’t so much a anxiety attack in the making but a business matter that I’m there to take care of. There are no words that can best explain overcoming my fears and concerns. Thanks Michele.*

Excellent Attorney!

Patient, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional through the entire long and emotional process of my separation and divorce case. He and his assistant/wife Michelle are a great team! I absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Simply the Best

I am so fortunate to have met Joe. He is an amazing, kind, and caring attorney. When I met Joe I was scared that I would not have a chance to win my case. He was calm and reassuring. With Joe's hard work and determination I not only won my case, Joe changed my life. He and his wife Michele make an aw...esome team!

excellent, EXCELLENT experience!

Joe is a caring, determined, motivated person who, with his legal assistant, Michele, has helped me during the occasions of: gaining custody of my children; working through my first wife's application for her share of my retirement; lessening my Alzheimered mother's judgement in a co-signing situatio...n with a grand-daughter of hers; and, my will. No hype, no extravagant claims--just good, hard, work.

Excellent lawyer

I highly recommend Joe Carnohan. He has been assisting us with our legal matters for several years and has always been honest, helpful, smart, and prompt. He's definitely an asset to have on your team. He is easy to deal with and sincerely wants the best outcome for his clients. He helped my husb...and through a divorce with his first wife & recently helped us revise our custody agreement. His rates are great too.
