Joseph was straight forward and experienced - his knowledge was helpful and constructive when it came to our HOA questions/concerns. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking into Real Estate Law
One of the most intelligent lawyers, who considers a holistic view. Calm approach to complex issues and just Awesome!!! Thank You.
Joseph returned my call promptly after i left him a voicemail. What can i say? I was stressed as can be when my contractors attempted to price gouge me at the end of the project and had 0 interest of any type of negotiation. I was worried about them trying to place a mechanics lien, but Joseph walked me through the steps in case this were to happen. After the phone call, i was able to sleep like a baby because I have full confidence with Joseph on my team.
Thank you, so much! I truly appreciate the time you took to answer my questions!
very helpful saved me some money which is always great, honest and met all expectations
Very professional and offered advice very quickly. Thank you for answering my question. It is greatly appreciated!
Mr Jaap replied very quickly, gave me the advice I was looking for and answered a follow up question too. It helped put my mind at ease that I have options. Although, hopefully, I won't need to use an attorney's services/sue..
I reached out to Joe after I received a very troubling email. He took the time to thoroughly explain what could potentially happen and what my rights are. He was never pushy and answered every question that I had without hesitation. I will definitely hire him if it comes to needing representation.
I was calling around looking for an estimate to have a last will and testament drafted. Joseph told me that in a situation such as mine (unmarried with zero kids and no titled assets) that there was no need to have a will drafted, that I only needed to make sure that a beneficiary to my checking and savings accounts was named, so that they could receive the funds in the event of my death. Thank you so much for your easy, honest and helpful demeanor!
Joe helped me understand where I stood in terms of a Landlord/Tenant situation with much clarity. Now I know what to do moving forward.
