Awful Experience

He represented me in my divorce and was very responsive and helpful throughout the process, that is until I paid him. I received a portion of my settlement and he held $1000 in trust in case any issues came up. Since then, I have not gotten my settlement in it’s entirety, and have made several atte...mpts to contact Joel because he has my money in trust. I have explained the issue via email, and in my many voicemails, all of which are documented. He recently (FINALLY) responded after several months asking what the issue was. Are you kidding me? And then he charged me for that response never acknowledging my actual issue. I am incredibly disappointed and am at a loss as to what to do. I will be going to the BBB with my documtation and going to the courthouse.

Like a family member

Joel was hired by us in 2013 for child custody case. He got everything we were asking for granted and didn't cut corners. Joel has been available for any questions we had regarding any case we have. My mother-in-law works with Joel and he is an outstanding boss. I am very humbled to have him be... apart of life journeys. He cares about the best interest of my step children and has never given us bad advice. I highly recommend Joel as an attorney.

Fantastic attorney

Mr. Flores represented my son in a difficult modification of parenting plan, in which he was trying to get custody of his little boy. Mr. Flores helped my son succeed in changing the custody. He kept us focused on legally how we should proceed in the case, but at the same time was very involved and... caring about what my son and his little boy were going through. I would highly recommend Mr. Flores. He is a wonderful attorney!

Poor lawyer

He quoted me a price and did not go by his word it seems that all he was worried about was money I would get charged for emails and phone calls. I would get my bill and it would have a charge for talking with client over the phone this guy is a joke stay away !

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.
