Thorough, trustworthy, and pragmatic

I had the need to find legal advice for issues with a startup I had co-founded. I knew Joe from a startup I'd worked for previously, and I contacted him to get perspective on my situation. He was able to quickly understand the context, and put together a plan of attack for solving these issues. ... He put together a team of legal help, which carried me through the litigation process, and we were able to come out with a successful result. I will continue to use Joe for all business-related issues for my new company, and couldn't recommend anyone more highly. He has a great pragmatic perspective on business practices, and is able to quickly explain all sides of any issue.

Rest Assured - You'll be in great hands!

We needed an attorney to assist in ending a business partnership. Researching firms online I came across Stanislaw Ashbaugh and was lucky enough to be put in touch with Joe. Upon our first meeting with him I found him to be very professional, forthright, personable and extremely experienced and educa...ted with respect to the type of legal counsel we were seeking. Throughout the process of ending the partnership, he was thorough, communication was constant, and he was a force to be reckoned with while negotiating the terms of the agreement. I only wish Joe practiced all types of law as he is someone who I would want representing me in any situation as he is, without a doubt, an attorney I highly regard and recommend.

CEO

Joe is a excellent lawyer with extensive knowledge of corporate law. He is consistently on the front lines with our management team and shareholders and is very effective at building trust at all levels. I highly recommend Joe and his staff.

Joe is a 1st rate attorney

Joe is a smart and responsive attorney who really gets involved with my issues. He comes to the table prepared and with interest. Most importantantly, Joe stays within the bounds of his area of expertise. He doesn't attempt to 'go to school' on your dime and he doesn't pretend to know something that ...he doesn't in fact know.

Great Securities Attorney

Joe has been providing my company advice on forming a real estate based fund and on how to fine-tune our operations related to partnership formations. He is responsive and knows the business well. He is also a good guy that you want to do business with.

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.
