My experience with Joe Arshawsky

I met Joe when the firm he worked for assigned him to my personal injury case. He was very supportive, knowledgeable and trustworthy throughout all of my proceedings. Against his advice I settled out of court and moved on. Looking back I am sure I could have gotten a larger settlement, but for me the... battle was over. Joe is a fantastic lawyer...a real mensch!

Litigation lawyer | Dec 19

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Joe Arshawsy for years at Morrison & Foerster. He was always a great teammate who lifted the spirits of all those around him. More significant, he is a talented and creative litigator with a knack for finding in the details things that others may have overlooked, then capitalizing on them in mounting a strong defense. Joe brings energy and passion to his work, and it shows. He is an excellent lawyer."
