I contacted Mr. Huerter about filing for a divorce. After speaking with him the first time, Mr. Huerter answered my questions and listened to my concerns. I hired him to represent me. He gave me his business card and all the necessary documents to complete for my divorce. He worked cooperatively with my ex's lawyer. Mr. Huerter's office did a great job of scheduling a phone conference within twenty-four hours when I had a question or information about my case. Mr. Huerter never missed a phone conference and all final legal documents were drawn up effectively and efficiently.

Mr. Huerter was recommended by a past client and I could not have been happier they did. This is my first time ever having to deal with any legal issues and unfortunately it was my divorce. MR. Huerter always made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything would be alright. I was so nervous, but having Mr. Huerter in my corner was the best and right choice. I was pleasantly surprised with how all of my legal matters turned out. I hope I never have to use a service like this again, BUT if I do I know where I will go for my legal matters to put my faith into. Thank you so much Mr. Huerter!

Joe has been great in an ongoing custody case that we have been dealing with for a few years. He usually calls back within 24 hours of leaving a message. Always does what he says.

Overall, Mr. Huerter did an incredible job. He prepared us before each hearing and was prepared himself before the final hearing. We won our case and I was very happy with the final outcome. The only concern I had was when he could not be there for one of the appearances and someone had stepped in for him and that person was not prepared at all and showed up at the last minute. This made me very anxious and stressed. But Mr. Huerter himself was very thorough and very direct. If I had to go back to court I would hire him again.

Joseph went above and beyond to be a great attorney. He was there with any questions I had, and I felt like I was his only client from day one. He asked me on our first sit down what I wanted, and in the end he made that happen. I couldn't of picked a better lawyer. His office would inform me of my court dates, all I had to do was show up, and he took care of the rest.
