About

My practice is primarily litigation based, but whenever possible I strive to help my clients find alternatives to hashing out their disputes before the court.  As an attorney I strive to first make sure that my clients understand all of their options, and forseeable outcomes, before we choose a plan for resolving their legal issues.  Inevitably, there is frequently no workable alternative to litigation - and whether you need my assistance because you are charged with a crime or OWI, a party to a contested estate, in a dispute with a neighbor, or feel that you have been damaged by the acts another - I will be there to assist you, advise you, and fight for you to obtain the best results we can as a team.

I was accused and confessed to a number of charges by the local PD. I really didn’t have any defense. Joel was able to reduce multiple felonies down to a few misdemeanor charges. Without Without Joel everything would be lost, including my career, family and freedom. Joel’s most impressive customer skill is communication. He not only kept me in the loop but he also provided guidance, counseling and friendship throughout the case process. I consider him a friend first and a lawyer second. I knew he was on my side from the start and he proved it many times over.

I’ve hired Joel to represent me twice in court. Both times he went above & beyond to ensure I had access to the best possible outcome. One highlight in the court room was during an officer’s presentation of evidence, when Joel promptly objected the direction of conversation & assured that the judge & officer refrained from discussing my character or anything more than necessary to present evidence. This type of representation is the reason I’m still able to work in my career field. Well worth the cost.

I would like to start this off by saying that Joel did a fantastic job not only with the legal side of things but with his communication as to the whereabouts and new information discovered as the estate case progressed. My sister and I needed help in dealing with my father's estate. Joel was the very first lawyer we called and he was also the last. My sister and I felt right about him from the very beginning. He was very informative and also His consultation was effective and his results were fantastic. I called a few other law firms, only because I was taught to look into all possibilities; however, knew I was going to access his services after his effective consultation. My father had passed away and left my sister and I in the dark as to what was going to happen to his estate. He had remarried and his new wife THOUGHT she was going to keep everything. My sister and I didn't want to put my dad's new wife into any hardship situation, for we just wanted to get what was fair. Joel gave me a good place to start and based off of those results we determined that appointing somebody experienced was the best step to take. Overall his experience coupled with his effective communication are the reason why I would recommend him and of course why I have him 5 stars. I am glad I got him to help and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I need any further help.

Hi Joel, I am glad to finally wrap up this episode. When we started things did not look promising but thanks to your skillful work we have been made whole. Thank you for your help. If you are ever going to be near central Virginia let us know. We would like to meet you in person. We have a spare bedroom and you would be welcome. Thanks again, Vance
