Joe LeBlanc has been, and continues to be, a great asset to my workplace. All of our cases are labor related, and Joe has proved time and time again how knowledgeable he is in this area. He is great at communicating with his clients and you will never feel like you are 'out of the loop' or 'uninformed'. Highly recommended!

Joe Leblanc is a great hard working lawyer , He took my case after I was denied about 10 times from other lawyers because they did not believe in me or my case and he did . He is very consistent and very genuine with you the case and your resolution . I would recommend him 100 times to anyone that actually has a case .

I was unexpectedly terminated from a job after just two months’ of employment. More surprising still was that my unemployment benefits were denied for reasons I couldn’t begin to fathom. I decided to hire an attorney to help with the appeal. I spoke to several and decided on Joe LeBlanc. I’m glad I did. Throughout the process, Joe kept me in the loop on documents submitted/requested and what I could expect from the process. As we built our defense, I sensed Joe was giving me the “true” story of what I could ultimately expect (a victory) as opposed to what a lawyer is expected to tell his client. What’s more, he was extremely responsive throughout, actually answering his phone and responding quickly to texts and emails. Joe conducted a prep session with me an hour before the appeal and provided great coaching and feedback. During the appeal, he adapted his strategy to the judge’s line of questioning and we ended up presenting a convincing case. The decision came down in less than 24 hours, in our favor. Joe said it was one of the quickest decisions he’d seen in years. All that remains now is a direct deposit of my unemployment back pay. I can’t speak highly enough about Joe. He charged a flat rate, no surprises, and provided professional, friendly and legally-sound assistance during one of the most challenging experiences of my professional life. With his help I was able to close the book on this ugly chapter and move forward.

Joe represented me in my wrongful termination arbitration. Joe was knowledgeable, responsive and very respectful to me. He was always calm when I was dealing with a very emotional situation, being a great listener and then giving good advise and perspective to the arbitration procedure. Joe would explain things thoroughly and willing to answer all questions. Joe is very knowledgeable and well-known in the mediation/arbitration arena. Joe represented me well and because of it, I was awarded a positive outcome from my arbitration. I will call Joe first for any legal representation I may need in the future.

Joe is everything a client would expect from a lawyer, and then some. In each of our interactions, he made me feel as though I were his only client. He is incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and above all, very prompt. In each of our interactions, he made me feel as though I were his only client. I have recommended Joe to several friends and family needing legal services. I would not hesitate to call Joe in the future if I ever need a lawyer again.

Avoid Joe LeBlanc. He was not friendly and was difficult to deal with. He tries to get money in exchange for doing very little for his clients. A layman can do better than Joe.

A few people consulted this man, and he did not have the knowledge or skills that were needed in an attorney. You deserve better.
