exceptional attorney

Joe was amazing to work with. We worked together for close to TWO years on my case and he never backed down or ceased to amaze me with his knowledge and understanding. 100% would recommend!

Saved my life and sanity

Joesph harder handled my divorce case recently, my case was very unique as I was close to retiring (begining) and retired from the military (the end) what made matters more difficult or so I thought at the time was I was living in another state and was a thousand miles away, but during this divorce ...process I couldn't have been more wrong, his office including the receptionists ensured that we were always available to talk and advise me when I needed him, it was like he was down the street. Regretfully as most people know divorces are not easy and can be very over whelming, but I didnt feel like that all. Having someone of his caliber working on my case made things painless and stress free as possible. He will tell you up front what you can expect as he is a very seasoned in his craft, I worked a lot with his executive paralegal Nicole for a lot of the processes especially gathering all the things you need in a case to prepare for either trial or an agreement. She was especially helpful and very concerned that I was getting what i desired. Joe advised me on what goals we wanted and what I should get as a father. Joe kept me very informed of what I needed to do and updated me throughout the divorce process. Joseph was willing to work with me on cost saving and adjusted things on the fly when my ex wasn't being very cooperative. sl I'm very glad that I hired his firm to represent me and my rights as a father, he protected me on my military retirement and we negotiated a lesser settlement. I would totally be comfortable in him handling another case like mine.. 5 stars doesn't give enough justice to how the outcome of my case played out. Thank you so much for saving me money allowing my rights as a father to be represented. Highly recommended for your legal needs. HE DEFINITELY goes against the grain as far lawyers are thought to be., I will use him again in the future if I ever need to pull the trigger to protect my rights as a father.

Managed a nightmare

Joe represented me for a divorce and restraining order cases, and was professional, kind, direct, and honest. I felt like he actually cared about what was important to me, and advocated for me in front of the judge. It dragged on for a year and a half and the entire time I felt like my case was imp...ortant and well-prepared for, and that after getting bumped 5 times, by the 6th set and actual hearing we were well prepared and expectations were realistic. Honestly, for a horrible and scary season of life, with many unknowns and variables, Joe helped me weather the madness and in the end we got what was best for my child and myself. I thought he got back to me in a timely manner, made time for emergency phone calls, and was professional, honest, realistic and kind- a rare combination these days. Beyond satisfied with his representation.

Excellent attorney representing me as a tenant

Joe helped me out greatly as a tenant in an eviction case. He was very informative in the process and realistic in what we could expect. The outcome of the case was the best case scenario where I was awarded monies and given adequate time to move out. I would recommend Joe to any tenant that needs le...gal help whether just advice or full representation.
