Joel is an experienced attorney who has represented thousands of clients in the Orlando and Central Florida area in criminal defense, dui, divorce & family law cases. Originally from Wisconsin, Joel completed his Bachelor of Science in Business and graduated with honors (Summa Cum Laude) before moving to Florida to attend law school at Florida State University.
Joel graduated from Florida State University with his Juris Doctorate in December 2001 and passed the Florida Bar on his first attempt. In addition to his Bachelor of Science (BS) and Juris Doctorate (JD), Joel has also completed his Masters of Business Administration (MBA).
While in Law school, Joel completed an externship for the Attorney General's Office where he conducted research and attended hearings on numerous legal actions involving the State of Florida. Joel also completed an externship with the Children's Advocacy Center where he assisted children and families with a wide range of family law issues. Joel also completed a law program at the University of Oxford in England.
After law school, Joel went to work for the State Attorney’s Office in Miami-Dade County as a Prosecutor. While at the State Attorney’s Office, Joel quickly moved up, and was soon entrusted to handle major felony cases. He was the lead prosecutor on hundreds of criminal cases, including cases involving attempted murder, drug trafficking, sexual battery, armed robbery and numerous other felony and life felony charges. After leaving the State Attorney’s Office, Joel moved to the Orlando area and worked for the Public Defenders office where he gained additional experience from a defense perspective before starting his own law practice.
Joel also has significant trial experience, having tried over 75 cases during his career as an attorney. While most cases do not need to result in a trial, there are cases that will go to trial. When a case cannot be resolved except by trial, you will want an experienced trial attorney on your side to present your side of the case to the Court in a persuasive and effective manner in order to achieve the best results possible.
In addition to his legal education and background, Joel is a military veteran having served 13 years in the military prior to law school. Joel received an Honorable Discharge before moving to Florida to pursue his desire of helping others as an attorney.
