Decided to hire him after I seen him in Court when I went to support a friend of mine. He is super calm and easy to talk to but is aggressive in court when needed. Very professional office and staff too!

He's a pittbull when you need him to be! Every Judge we had seemed to know him and like him.

A friend of mine suggested that I go see Joel when I decided to leave my abusive husband after over 20 years of marriage. When I first saw Joel I was a nervous wreck. He spoke to me about all of my options and assured me that everything would be okay. I met with him several times after retaining him and I always felt better after speaking to him. I can see that Joel has a lot of great reviews and I agree with them. He is smart and confident and he was dedicated to protecting me throughout the entire process. He represented me at Mediation so I did not have to sit in the same room as my husband and we were able to get my entire case finished in just a few months. I can not thank him enough for all of his help.

I had two separate lawyers retire on me. Joel took over my file from Nancy Pringle when she retired on short notice in Septemebr. I was extremely stressed but Joel met with me right away and set a plan moving forward. I never felt like I knew where my file was going with Nancy. We would meet time and time again, but nothing ever moved forward and all I got were massive bills. It only took a few months from the time I first met with Joel until the time my case was completely settled. I felt like for the first time in years I had a lawyer who actually set a plan moving forward and who gave me actual legal advice. I was really nervous when Nancy retired but it turned out to be a blessing!

Joel is amazing! He did more for me in a few months than other lawyers have done for me in years. My case was complicated and my last lawyer made a mess of everything. Joel told me exactly what needed to be done and in the end I got my son back! I cannot thank him enough!!

Joel is a wonderful person and an exceptional lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and moved things along quickly and effectively. Communication was great, and I trusted his good judgement all throughout my case. I truly couldn't have asked for a more competent and compassionate lawyer. Highly recommend!

Joel The Quitter. Joel threw my case for a good Top and Political favor, maybe cash, My children are apparently expendable as long as the right deal is struck. He knows my x is abusive but quit to leave them there. Joel antionette also said, after i said I had 300 dollars a month to live on suggested i take my family of 5 out to a restaurant 2 to three times a month. I can aporeciate you have lived a sheltered and priviled life life Joel, But Let them eat cake !!! Lastly Joel said " You kbow what people with mental health issues cant do ? hold a job" Although i have mental divergence and was holding a job, so which part isnt true Joel, so you mean to defend my mental health status and deny it as opposed to believing I could be a great parent regardless. So Pathethic. Hope you like your new club Joel, you paid for it with my kids happiness. Severely dreamland guy with no sense of reality did not return emails did not do a good job. Is not a good lawyer, prob is cushy with CAS Now.

No nonsense and very smart. I've had two other family lawyers in town and he worked faster than both of my other lawyers. His staff are great. I finally felt like I had someone fighting for me.
