A lawyer who truly fights for you - and wins

I can’t say enough great things about my divorce attorney, Joe Franzi. From the very beginning, Joe was transparent, patient, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, making sure I truly understood what was happening and what to expect. What really ...stood out was how thorough he was in gathering all the details of my situation—especially since my case involved custody of my daughter. Joe never missed a beat. In court, he was an absolute pitbull—sharp, relentless, and fiercely protective of my interests. I could tell right away that he wasn’t just another attorney—he genuinely cared. Joe has absolutely earned my complete trust. He is not only a brilliant legal mind but also a father himself, which I believe gives him a deeper understanding and compassion that sets him apart from other family law attorneys. If you’re looking for someone who will fight for you, guide you, and always have your best interests at heart—Joe Franzi is the one. I highly recommend him to anyone navigating the tough waters of divorce or custody issues. You will be in excellent hands!!!

Absolutely the best choice!

Choosing Mr. Franzi as my divorce and custody lawyer was the best decision I made in moving forward with my divorce. Mr. Franzi made the entire legal process of divorce easier to understand, and less frightening to navigate. He is intelligent, respectful and works diligently to assure all matters ar...e addressed properly. Mr. Franzi is approachable and his availability to all my questions and concerns, gave me the confidence and security in knowing my needs would be met through a difficult transition in life. I highly, highly recommend Mr. Franzi!

Family Law Attorney - Joseph Franzi

I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough. He has been by my side for over five years, guiding me through one of the most challenging times of my life with exceptional professionalism, compassion, and legal expertise. From the very beginning, Joseph demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case and ...to the best interests of my child. His deep knowledge of family law, strategic thinking, and calm demeanor gave me confidence every step of the way. Thanks to Joseph’s dedication and guidance, I was able to stay focused, make the right decisions, and ultimately achieve full custody of my son—a goal I could not have reached without his support. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who truly cares, listens, and will fight for the best outcome, Joseph is the one you want on your side. He’s not just an outstanding lawyer; he’s a steady advocate and a trusted ally.

Cannot Be Trusted

Joseph's dishonesty and incompetence at trial cost me custody of my son, when I should never have been in a position to lose custody in the first place. In his final shady move, he filed a withdrawal of attorney after he offered to reduce my bill so he could shift suspicion onto me (a victim of domes...tic violence) and avoid accountability for his own ineptitude as an attorney. It's hard enough going up against a narcissist ex who fed the judge lie after lie - realizing my own attorney wasn't ever really up to the task adds insult to injury. If you have a high conflict divorce case, avoid Joseph Franzi - his inexperience and dishonesty will only work against you.

Tenacious on clients' behalf - blows no smoke!

I needed legal counsel and representation for several ongoing custodial battles after I was legally separated and for my divorce. Everyone at Posey & Associates is highly regarded. Numerous acquaintances informed me (unsolicited) that I was VERY well represented. I consistently found everyone ...at the firm to be fully informed and up to speed on my case(s). They are organized, efficient and sharp. They operate as a unified, cohesive team. Several things stood out for me with Mr. Franzi: * He read every word of documentation I sent him (lots) and he remembered every detail of it. * He made it clear to me up front and throughout, what would be useful to the case and what would be a waste of my time and money... and his. * Regardless of the court of morality and righteousness, he only focused on winnable strategies in a court of law. Though he is a sympathetic and good listener, he never deviated from whatever was the strongest legal path to victory. * I was always copied on draft documents (which were compellingly written) before they were submitted. I felt fully informed throughout the entire process. * Lastly, Mr. Franzi does not go in for bombastic histrionics. He is respectful and gains rapport with opposing counsel, judges and court staff. He is unassuming in his personality but focuses on making a solid legal case. On legal points, he is unrelenting but I've seen him use rapport and mutual respect to leverage reciprocity and sympathy to his clients' advantage. He prefers to let the facts and evidence be the megaphone. I felt I was in very good hands. I referred my mother to him as well who also hired him. I highly recommend Mr. Franzi of Jennifer Posey & Associates with the greatest confidence. He will do right by you.
