Personable and Professional

Mr. Elwood was a big blessing to our family. He was honest, kind but worked hard to get the results best for our family. We highly recommend him!!!

Great Lawyer!

The law office of Perry & Moeller are amazing! As soon as I contacted them, they swiftly began helping me with my custody case. I had no clue what my legal rights were, nor did I have an understanding as to what I should do to protect myself and my child. I received professional guidance, and it reli...eved my worries! Anytime I have had questions or concerns about my lawyer, Joe, was prompt in taking action. I would certainly recommend them for any one of my family or friends. I truly appreciate what they have done for me.

Friendly and great service

I needed to redo my will after my son was born and chose Perry and Moeller after a friend recommended them to me. Joe was very kind and knowledgeable. He communicated with me during the whole process and got it done quickly. He took time to explain all of the components and wording so that I understo...od before signing. The final product is great! Will definitely be using them for all my law needs in the future!

Compassionate and Competent Attorney

Joe represented me for a stalking order case. He was kind and compassionate towards me during a difficult time. He explained my options and the kept me well informed throughout the whole process. He worked hard to make sure the case was solid and well supported. During court he was highly effective. ...I would highly recommend him.

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.
