Knowledgeable!

Joseph Creed has always been very knowledgeable and makes understanding wills and trusts easy to understand. He was recommended by a colleague and I’m so glad!

Excellent experience

Joseph Creed was extremely responsive and accommodating to my needs. He was the second attorney I worked with and working with him was a breeze. Definitely recommend and I would work with him again any time. Thank you, Mr. Creed!

Professional and Straightforward

I would highly recommend Joseph Creed. He helped me through my divorce. He was very knowledgeable through the whole process. What I appreciated most about Jo was how responsive he was. He answered phone calls and emails in a very timely manner and kept me informed. I had many questions through...out the divorce and he was quick to give me clear answers. This has been a painful personal experience for me but Jo put my mind at ease with all of the legal aspects.

Real Estate Transactions

For the last 8 years he has represented us in all matters related to Real Estate. Buying, selling, preparing leases, in our commercial real estate investments. We are extremely pleased with his services and hope to continue this relationship for a long time. Aside from this he is a warm, friendly, ...human being.

A True Advocate

I can't speak highly enough about Joe. He took on our case after we consulted and began unsuccessfully with four other attorneys in the area. His work was stellar from beginning to end (we won the case by dismissal because the plaintiff finally realized they didn't stand a chance). He was extremel...y open to our input throughout, considerate of our needs, and gracious about accommodating our desire to participate in the defense process. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate, and I felt he was honest and consistent about acting in our best interest. He was even sensitive to our budget, and always gave us options and considered cost. We remain grateful to have won with him on our side!

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.
