Police interrogation, arrest, bail, court appearances, DMV hearings, investigations and more can make life very difficult. There are ways to manage and minimize the impact of these life altering events as you work with Joel one on one toward the best positive outcome.

At some larger firms, you may meet and communicate with your attorney once or twice during the entire course of your case – everything else will be handled by young associates, paralegals or secretaries. We provide personalized and compassionate legal assistance. Joel takes all of his calls if he is available.
| Providing Perspective for Your Peace of Mind
An arrest can be a terrifying experience. Even the possibility of charges or investigation can be incredibly stressful.

| Aggressive Representation
Unfortunately, some Attorneys settle cases for the sake of expediency, even when it’s not in the client’s best interest to do so. Having done over 200 jury trials, Joel doesn’t back down from a trial, nor will he hesitate to take a case to trial if this is the best course of action for you. Likewise, Joel will seek the best possible settlement for cases which should be settled. Prosecutors know Joel is not afraid to go to trial, which leads to better settlement results.
