In October 2020, my wife and I were injured and our work vehicle was totaled when another driver crossed the double yellow and hit us head-on. A friend of ours who passed by the accident called the next day to check on us. He recommended that we get a lawyer, I'm so glad he did! I searched the web for personal injury lawyers and ended up selecting Joseph based on all the 5 star reviews by his clients. Joseph spent almost an hour on the phone with me, discussing all aspects of our case, even before he decided to accept it. After that initial consultation, I knew we had made the right choice! Joseph was very personable, informative, patient, and it just felt like he really cared about us. Throughout the entire process, Joseph proved himself to be very professional. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of dealing with the insurance and medical companies. He constantly kept us up to date as our case progressed. He was always there to answer any questions and guided us every step of the way. He was always accessible by phone, text or email. Actually, our entire case was handled without a single visit to his office. After almost 2 years, which included countless trips to physical therapy, the chiropractor and other medical procedures, Joseph was able to negotiate a settlement for us that FAR exceeded our expectations! My wife and I can't imagine having gone through this experience without Joseph's expert guidance and tireless efforts on our behalf! We're both very happy with the outcome of our case and we highly recommend Joseph!!

Hi, my name is Anh. I feel so lucky for finding a lawyer who had my back during my most desperate time. Before talking to Joseph, other lawyers I talked to said my case was weak. My employer denied my injury claim and even thought I made up the story of how I was hurt. I was desperate, because a hemorrhage was causing me to go blind in one eye. I was not allowed to drive and I had to stop working. I live by myself, and had nobody to turn to for help at home. It was very hard, physically and mentally. The doctors and everyone were so cold and short with me. They accused me of making things up. My dignity was insulted. I felt everyone was against me. But I only had enough time to focus on the surgery to rescue my vision. I was left with limitations to my daily life which caused tremendous depression. I was not even answering calls from friends. I felt helpless and exhausted until I talked to Joseph. He made me feel better right away and restored my dignity. He explained that he could not guarantee the outcome of the case, but said he would do his best and we could take things one step at a time. During such a dark time, he was the only one who looked out for me. He took care of my language barrier, helped me with interpreter at the meetings, arrange transportations for Doctors visits, meetings. I felt at ease, knowing he was fighting for me, even though I accepted the outcome was uncertain. But I followed his instruction, and he took care of everything for me. With continuing support, we fought through the process one step at a time until we were able to make my employer finally accept responsibility. Because of Joseph’s dedication, we were able to settle the case for a substantial amount that I didn’t know was possible. The reason I’m sharing my experience is so others who are in a similar situation (injured, overwhelmed, losing hope and trust in everything) can find the same happy ending I did. Hiring Joseph as my attorney changed everything. Without him, I would have been lost.

I've reached out to Joseph multiple times when I'm in a situation that needs an attorney with experience that can get things done right in the most efficient and timely manner.

We have worked with Joseph on several occasions over years to gain his counsel on a range of legal matters from understanding how to structure and interpret contracts to negotiating favorable settlements. Needless to say, we could not be more pleased with his continued counsel and advice. Joe maintains a formidable legal repertoire and makes an elegant demonstration of his expertise. And his professional candor has saved us countless hours of wasteful wheel spinning. The insights, confidence and comfort you gain from working with a competent attorney like Joseph is priceless. Why lose any more sleep? Do yourself a favor and "call Joe."

I certainly give five stars rating to the excellent legal representation from Joseph. His knowledge, experience and perseverance for a fair favorable outcome were without a doubt key element to a fair settlement. Joseph showed empathy towards my person from the beginning up to the end of the settlement; positively I will recommendJoseph to represent anyone that needs an excellent attorney.
