Diligent, efficient and knowledgeable

Joyce was extremely helpful in helping us to file bankruptcy. She swiftly handled the ins and outs of bankruptcy t law and how it was regarded in our case. She made sure we had all the information we needed and effectively walked us through the steps leading to the court hearing. She made sure we wer...e comfortable and knowledgeable in what we were supposed to do. Joyce helped us lay the groundwork for turning over a new leaf with confidence. Her expertise is fluid and not condescending or intimidating; she will really stand up for her clients and knows the law like the back of her hand.

Hostile, agressive, non-productive poor communicator.

I tried to speak with her about filing an appeal. After I'd spoken one and a half sentences (!) she interrupted me in an inappropriately hostile tone while I was explaining I didn't have a deadline which she asked for. She interrupted and said "Why not?" I tried to explain that I had received abso...lutely no paperwork on the matter. Again she interrupted with "I don't know anything about your case" very hostile. Of course she didn't. It wasn't yet explained to her! Just one and a half sentences and the name of the motion were all I got out before being interrupted. I didn't hire her. Needless to say, I concluded the conversation and did not hire her.

I researched/prepared for an hour before I returned phone call. Barely two minutes passed and this person hung-up the phone.

Efficient and trustworthy.

My husband and I have retained Joyce Sobel several times over the last 19+ years for many different matters. She has handled everything with efficiency and expertise. I can always trust that she will thoroughly investigate all the issues to resolve my case. Highly recommend.

Quick and helpful response!

We had a small fence issue come up with our neighbor and decided to write up a fence line agreement. We emailed Joyce the details the evening before (late) and when I called her at 9am the next day she was ready to talk and shared the resources we needed. Her advice gave us piece of mind and we were ...able to move forward with our neighbor in a friendly way. She didn't accept our money for this consult, but we would definitely hire her again.

Bankruptcy

Ms. Sobel was great handling my personal bankruptcy. Very thorough and communicative. I have also consulted with her on other legal matters. Her advice was very helpful and reasonably priced. I would recommend her.

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.
