Excellent advice & guidance on criminal case. Negotiated with District Attorney to get case dismissed. Very good at explaining legal issues and strategy. Made sure all court dates & times were kept by providing reminders and notification of changes. Patient and used understandable language rather than jargon.

We were charged (wrongfully) with a criminal offense. In our first meeting with Joel, he listened carefully to us, asked all of the right questions, and obviously understood the relevant legal issues. We agreed to hire him at that first meeting. Thanks to Joel's legal competence & his knowledge of the system, (and the facts of the case), the case was dismissed before we had to enter a plea in court. Without Joel's help, we were lost in a system that made no sense to us. He gave us exactly the help that we needed. While I hope never to be in a situation like this again, if I ever am, I will not hesitate to call Joel Fry.

Joel did an excellent job walking me through the court process with respect and understanding. Most importantly, he takes the time to understand you and your case to get the best possible outcome. I have referred Joel to other friends and colleagues and encourage you to contact him if you are in need of legal counsel.

Joel was awesome. So thorough and found a mistake on state troopers forms such that here was a revision to the DUI and taken off my record. I would highly recommend him

Joel was very informative and thorough during my case, even when I had way to get to court he made arrangements for a ride for me as. Even though my case is over he still offered further support should something change after the fact
