No Fear

Mr Furton took on my wrongful discharge case without hesitation even though I'm a car salesman and most attorneys wouldn't touch my case. All the details of my case were handled professionally and I felt like I was his only client. We won our case and I couldn't be happier, I would recommend Joe to a...nybody looking for a bulldog of an attorney.

Best Result.

Mr. Furton handled a very complicated wage and hour employment lawsuit for me. He ended up obtaining a very large recovery for me, far more than I thought was possible. He is a great lawyer that I recommend to everyone.

Won my contract lawsuit. Highly recommend.

Mr. Furton represented me in a lawsuit when a company breached my contract. He filed suit and recovered far more than I anticipated. He is aggressive and straightforward. If you need a lawyer, call him.

Only use if you want to be strung along

After meeting with him he assured us we had a good case and would file necessary paperwork. After numerous calls to be told he wasn't in or off. This went on for weeks. Finally he decided though email that due to the number of clients he was unable to take on the case. I put my trust in this man and ...was dropped without any consideration to the time I waited for him to take action , he failed. And I would not recommend

Dropped the ball

I was confident at first. Joes talked a good game. I called the office after not hearing anything in about 90 days. I didn't get a call back in 3 business days. What did get was an email and a letter in the mail stating that my information was reviewed and that the firm wouldn't be able to handle my ...case due to the volume of cases they receive. I emailed the firm and called back because I had questions. I wanted to know what had been done. I have yet to receive a response. If they couldn't take mt case why not say so at the initial consultation?

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.
