I obtained his service under my very unfortunate circumstances. Over the years (almost four years) going through with my case, I have learn to respect the legal process and importance of a good attorney. Throughout the years he has given me many good advice as a client and as a person. His comforting advice, sometimes stinging criticism, and best of all honest and correct assessment of situation will bring comfort to difficult situations. I've always do my best to read his carefully composed emails with equal amount of focus on my end. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow but when it's presented to you it's up to you to accept it or not. However, can't deny the fact that in difficult situations sometimes that's exactly what you need. Joe will give you just that: truth. At the end I got what I wished for. I am grateful for it. The entire process was enlightening with Joe. I highly recommend him.
