Posted by Cathy | November 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Inept, Disorganized, Unprofessional

Wolch is about the worst you can do for a family law attorney in Contra Costa County. He runs up his bills, has his inept associates doing most of the work, and repeatedly confused my case with another that he was working on at the time. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this clown.

A great divorce and family lawyer

Please accept again my sincere thanks and appreciation for the help and legal assistance you provided as my divorce attorney.

Joe Wolch is a very dedicated and experienced lawyer.

Joe Wolch is a very dedicated and experienced lawyer. In my case I was very hopeless after changed 2 lawyers. Then I hired Mr. Joe Wolch and I received a tremendous outcome in my case due to Joe's efforts, advice, and skilled advocacy. In matters of such importance, Joe's assistance is imperative. If... the issues in your case mean as much to you as they did to me, Joe is the lawyer you want to hire.

Best Family Lawyer in Walnut Creek (Joe Wolch)

Mr Joe Wolch is a Best Family Lawyer I have ever find to solve my all Problems....

Posted by sw3tflower | May 2, 2013

Do not recommend him

Mr Wolch represented me at a contempt trial against my husband. It was an open/shut case. He demanded we go ahead with the divorce despite knowing my husband had no attorney to represent him. The judge threw out the case. Mr Wolch did not respond to any of my Emails or calls concerning the divorce ...settlement my husband gave me. He went 3 months without any communication and then advised me to sign the settlement despite knowing I had no idea how it would affect me. It was a very bad settlement. An attorney who does not communicate with his clients and has a lack of knowledge about law is not the type of attorney who will be working in your best interests, especially during a divorce.

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.
