We met Joe in 2010 when we were facing a very difficult situation between our partners that resulted in a buyout. Things had to be handled in a very quick and controlled manner. Joe listened very carefully to our situation and quickly understood our needs and desires. He organized a plan and executed the terms and agreements for a buyout with all the safe guards imaginable. He took a very scary situation for us and made it smooth and easy! Since then our practice has grown exponentially and Joe has been an adviser to us for many matters and he has helped us with compliance, contracts, practice purchases as well as many other services. We can reach him when we need him. He remembers details, and he is always clear, fair and friendly. He has truly become a friend to us, not just a lawyer.

DOES NOT DESERVE ANY STARS!!! This Law Firm is Very unprofessional. Shouldn’t a law firm who specializes in contract cases know in the beginning about what is usually expected. This office does not communicate with their clients. I had to call them to find out about what is going on with the case. There are far better options out there in the DMV area.
