Smart, Experienced and Effective

Joe Bussone is a "lawyers lawyer". I know what I'm talking about because I am, like Joe, a litigation lawyer and I worked with Joe when we were both young associates for a busy Los Angeles litigation firm. We used to consult each other on the cases we handled and Joe gave me lots of good advice. T...hat was in the mid-1980s, and we have remained friends since, and I have followed Joe's career. In his 30 plus years of experience, Joe has worked both for large law firms and as a sole practitioner, and has a broader and more practical approach to law than most attorneys. Focusing on civil litigation, he has handled an unusually wide variety of matters, for many different types of clients, including businesses and individuals, and understands how the economics of litigation vary depending on the client. He knows how to take a case trial and win, and that makes him all the better at negotiating good, early settlements that save clients the time and expense of going all the way through trial. Joe is fearless and persistent and an excellent lawyer.

Exceptional Lawyer

Mr. Bussone kept me very well informed about everything. He made sure I understood everything and it was obvious he wanted to do his very best for me. He went above and beyond. he was available to me anytime I had a question.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Joe Bussone is a "lawyers lawyer". I worked with Joe when we were both young associates for a busy Los Angeles litigation firm, and I learned a lot from him. That was in the mid-1980s, and we have remained friends since, and I have followed Joe's career. In his 30 plus years of experience, Joe has worked both for large law firms and as a sole practitioner, and has a broader and more practical approach to law than most attorneys. Focusing on civil litigation, Joe has done almost everything a litigator can do, for all sorts of clients, from individuals, and small businesses to large corporations. He is smart and fearless, relishes a challenge. He seems to especially thrill to representing the little guy against the big and well monied opposition. Joe is an experienced, successful trial lawyer, and that gives him the leverage to negotiate good, settlements. I am proud to recommend Joe Bussone."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
