One of the very best!

I am so very proud to recommend Joe -- especially because it is something that I do quite often. As the co-founder of one of America's largest and most successful web companies, I've worked with many attorneys over the years, but none can compete with Joe's mix of knowledge, candor, ethics, and dedi...cation. Joe was a trusted advocate and peer as my company quickly grew to scale. We were ready for our growth because of Joe's careful planning throughout our formative stages. As I was somewhat of a novice at first, Joe took me through the pros and cons of my decisions in an open and careful manner, making sure that I understood all of the many implications of my choices as I made them. He has great patience, and was incredibly thoughtful with his time. Looking back, I realize that - working with Joe - I've likely formed just about every corporate structure possible, from C corps, to S corps, to a variety of LLCs, each with different funding models. Joe continues to advise me - and I continue to recommend him to my peers - for a wide variety of transactions and events. He is a gem!

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.
