He prides himself in anticipating the arguments and settlement strategies of the other side and openly communicates with clients the practical and legal pros and cons of their case so they can ultimately decide how best to proceed. In this way, Joel empowers his clients to take control of their lives.
An optimist at heart, Joel’s personal motto is: “Every day is a gift, don’t waste it.”
