Joe is one of the finest lawyers I have worked with in my career. In our first case as co-counsel, I was immediately impressed by his abilities. Joe is one of the smartest and hardest working lawyers I have tried cases with, and his mastery of the facts and complex legal issues is unparalleled. I have referred many clients to his office for help, and would not hesitate to trust him with the most important of my personal legal needs. If an amazing result is possible, Joe will make it happen.
