Great Sevice

Our attorney, Stephanie Macuiba drafted our revocable trust, will and powers of attorney. She explained everything in detail and kept us informed throughout the process. Great job! We are very satisfied.

Posted by Craig | April 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Highly knowledgeable and helpful

They worked with me within my tight time frame to finish by year-end and also due to my constant travel schedule. Always available for follow-up questions in areas I previously had no experience in. Also very friendly!

Worst Attorney/Person I've ever did Business with

I had hired this attorney through ARAG my husbands legal network of attorneys. In a 3 week period I was only able to get him on the phone twice and he was extremely unprofessional like he didn't know what he was doing. After terminating our business I talked to a real lawyer who had said Joseph gave ...me the worst legal advice ever. Thankfully I didn't waste any more time then I originally did. DO NOT choose this man for your attorney you will truly regret it.

Replied last April 12, 2018

We sincerely regret that we were unable to assist with this matter. Due to the client’s personal circumstances and out of state complications, our office could not carry out the work as requested. After careful examination of the ethical considerations, it was our firm that terminated representation. Receiving a review of this nature is of great disappointment to us, as we do our best to faithfully help those in need. In any event, we genuinely wish the client well.

Thank you!

Joe did a great job answering all of our questions about some pretty complicated trust matters. We received everything in a timely and efficient manner. The office went out of their way and even updated information for us years later.

Not a happy planner

Joseph Foley paired up with another person and came to my daughter's Sunday school. I used their services. Since then, I have been told by two attorneys that the Special Needs Trust was poorly written. I contacted Mr Foley and told him that. He said he would put me on his mailing list for changes (ab...out six years ago - never heard or received a thing). I truly feel so cheated and misled. I have to now redo and repay for services that I thought he did. So unhappy. Feel as though he took advantage of my daughter and me.

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.
