I enjoyed working with Joel despite the negative circumstances I was in. He responds quickly even though is running his practice alone. I really appreciated his honesty and that he cut to the facts while still being compassionate. I would reach out to him for more legal help in the future if I needed it.
Joel is an honest, upfront lawyer. He will not beat around the bush or just tell you what you want to hear. Joel gives you reality in a kind and gentle sort of way. He will even tell you if he isn’t the right lawyer for you. He specializes in collaborative divorces which are cheaper and less stressful.
Joel was amazing. Super chill and professional and made a daunting situation so much less stressful. Highly recommend him for all your family law needs.
