Joel handles the legal needs for several of our companies. To describe him as an attorney is a limiting understatement. The level of genuine compassion, expertise, and concern leveraged in every calculated step is unparalleled by anyone I wouldn't consider "family," which is essentially what Joel becomes to each and every client he welcomes into his firm. With Joel handling our matters, we know they will get all of the attention, skill, and care that we've otherwise been trained not to expect outside of blood.

As Board President and Treasurer of my residential co-op building, I have worked with Joel for the last 9 years. It has been a pleasure to have such a knowledgeable lawyer who has probably been through every scenario that could exist in any co-op. His guidance is always very useful in handling all the situations that arise in our coop and of which there are many. I am comforted by the extensive source of knowledge that Joel has accumulated during his years as an attorney which not many lawyers possess. He also has a great sense of humor, what else could you want in a lawyer.

He is extremely flexible always keeping in mind the needs of his clients.Because of his many years of successful results in his practice, I highly recommend him as an attorney.

I have worked with Joel Charleston's Law Firm for many years. I have served them as a Professional Witness, Researcher, and Consultant. I cannot recall an unsuccessful outcome in any litigation I have worked on. Joel and his staff present a great blend of personality, sincerity, and compassion. Joel's extensive experience provides him great insight to navigate the catacombs of the legal process which allows him to prepare for the correct moments of intense focus that decide the outcome of your litigation. He appears relaxed, yet always ends up to be a step ahead. In 2013, my wife, Diane, was struck from behind in her car by a service company truck. She became permanently disabled with a brain injury and we became a client. Although she was totally innocent of any wrong doing, the legal system and the Insurance Companies are more focused on proving potential fraud against the Insurance Companies then helping the victim. Joel's firm was compassionate, very well prepared, precise and steadfast in their actions. A successful settlement was agreed to prior to litigation saving my wife years of stress and anxiety which allowed her to put the event behind her and begin re-building her life. We would provide the highest level of referral possible to Joel Charleston's Law Firm.
