“It has been over 5 years since we first met and nearly 4 years since that Tuesday morning when I was able to walk out of the same doors of the courtroom that I had used to walk in. I will never forget that moment, and I attribute my freedom today to your efforts and diligence.”
- Client J.W., in child computer pornography case

“Joel, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent representation you provided over the past three years. As a high-ranking government official charged with dozens of crimes associated with my service as head of a State agency, my case was high profile. The publicity over the significant period of time before trial, and the negative publicity of my even being charged, were very damaging to my reputation. Your pretrial preparation and execution of strategy during trial was exemplary. We spent many months preparing together for trial and a lot of late nights during the trial preparing for the next day’s testimony. You were fully committed to my cause and your outstanding ability to anticipate the motives and strategy of the prosecution was extraordinary. At every stage, you were fully versed in the nuances of this difficult ‘paper’ case, and significantly more effective in front of a jury compared to the prosecutor. Your opening and closing arguments were superb and very effective in helping the jury understand our defense. The twenty-three verdicts of ‘not guilty’ have gone a long way to restoring my reputation. The satisfaction of seeing ‘the system’ actually work is totally a result of your dedication to my case and your superior legal skills in the courtroom.”
- Client M.M., in complex political corruption case

“Joel displays concern, good judgment, and excellent preparation as a result of hard work, and is obviously highly intelligent. His personal appearance is impressive and he has the attitude of a winner practicing in a segment of the law where winning is often difficult. My acquittal of very serious charges preserved my medical career and I could not have imagined anyone doing the job any better than he did.”
- Client Dr. R.L.H.

“Thank you for your excellent counsel. Your continued representation of me through a second trial, after the hung jury, saved my life. Carrying the burden of being labeled a sex offender would have been more than I could bear. I would never have pleaded guilty to such a crime I did not commit. Thank you for your faith in me, and especially for the incredible trial skills and persistence you carried into the courtroom with us.”
