Not recommended

Extremely disappointing experience. I would not recommend this attorney. Based on my personal experience, I was extremely dissatisfied with the representation I received from Mr. Franzi and his office. I had serious concerns about the handling of my case, including documents that I expected to be su...bmitted to the court. I was also very concerned about the billing process. My understanding of the retainer agreement I signed is that a client has 30 days to object to billing. However, in my experience, money was withdrawn from my account only a few days after the billing was issued. This was particularly frustrating given what I understood the written agreement to provide. I also have a court transcript containing statements made by Mr. Franzi regarding responsibility for an issue in my case. In my experience, his later position regarding responsibility was inconsistent with what I understood him to have stated on the record. One of my most serious concerns was receiving documents relating to other clients among documents connected with my matter. This made me very concerned about how confidential information was being handled. I will not identify those clients or disclose their documents publicly. Overall, I was extremely dissatisfied with the representation, communication, billing practices, and handling of my case. I believe the way my matter was handled made an already difficult situation significantly worse. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this attorney.

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.
