What a great help Mr. Massae was. He was very understanding of our situation and did everything he could to educate himself on the matter before us. If faced with another "situation" I would call on Joel in a heartbeat! He is a true blessing!
Joel Brett Massae's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've worked with Mr. Massae on several matters. I admire his professionalism, persistence, and his ability to negotiate favorable resolutions on behalf of his clients."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Joel for a number of years now. He is always well informed, well prepared, and knowledgeable about his client and their case. An excellent lawyer."
"I met Joel many years ago when we were both young lawyers on different sides of several personal injury auto accident cases. He struck me as one of the young attorneys who would soon be making their mark on the practice. I was right. Over the years, he has expanded his practice to include criminal defense, DUI/DWI, traffic, fish & game, and several other practice areas, and he is now well respected in those areas as well. I believe that Joel's clients are very well served by his skill, experience, and reputation, and that they would be hard-pressed to find a better value for legal representation in those areas."
"I endorse Joel Massae. He is both detail-oriented and legally knowlegeable: qualities that you should be looking for in a lawyer. Joel and I have worked together on several complex matters. First, he is versatile in his knowledge and skillset. Second, his command of fish and game law is unmatched by any other lawyer in Northern California. Most importantly, he is a conscientious and effective advocate for his clients in all of his practice areas. Call him if you need help."
"Joel is the best and most diversified criminal defense and DUI lawyer in the north state of California. He is also the most renown expert in the area of fish and game laws I have ever known bar none in the USA. He has also handled successfully a number of personal injury cases. He is also famous for his work for and with Chico Sate Students in regard to criminal and DUI/DMV charges in and around the Butte County area and I know he handles matters from Colusa County to Plumas County."
