He collaborates with clients so they can provide valuable input to ensure that the legal strategy accounts for results.

Joel came into law through his time as a teacher and high school administrator. His passion for advocating for his clients was born from witnessing injustices against common people, including himself. He fought his way out of poverty as a child to earn four bachelor’s degrees, a master’s degree, a Juris Doctorate, and a Ph.D. It is this same tenacity that drove Joel out of poverty that he will bring to your matter.
