Fair play comes about when the law applies equally to all. Unfortunately, there are some who believe that fairness is the equivalent to victory at any cost. My practice mission is twofold: We lead businesses to success through California's dangerous regulatory environment; and, we expose fraudsters and their illegal business practices. In the courtroom or at the conference table, we are advocates for fair play. If you want to play by the rules, or have been cheated by someone who does not, contact me for a free consultation.

Very Responsive, prompt and thorough.
I know it raised a flag when all the marks are the highest. This time, however, it is a solid truth. Joe did wonders for me in very difficult situations with time constraints and non-cooperative opposing council. He handled a number of collection and general business/contract matters. We continue to value our ongoing relationship. Highest of recommendations.
