It has been my privilege to work together with Joe on several cases over the course of my career. Joe's compassion for his clients and their story is unparalleled. He is the utmost professional when it comes to working with other lawyers and is responsive to the needs of his clients. Joe truly listens to those in need and spends time exploring the feelings behind the story to learn more about his client and the things they have been through. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail are exceptional. If he finds himself in an area of unsettled law Joe spends the time to sort out the issue(s) and best explain it in a way that makes it easy to understand for the client. As a fellow lawyer, I have enjoyed my time spent with Joe working together with clients and I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends, family, and those in need.
