We met Joe when we lived in the same subdivision in Mesa, AZ. We had him update our wills. He explained everything thoroughly and his fee was reasonable. We moved to Florida five years ago but recently bought an AZ house as a rental property. I remembered that AZ has a "transfer on death" designation and wanted that for our investment property so contacted Joe. He agreed to prepare and file the TOD and did so promptly for a reasonable fee. It was great peace of mind for me and my husband. I only wish the Florida attorney we had used was half as competent and professional as Joe Udall!
I hired Joseph M. Udall for legal representation and had a very positive experience throughout my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the process and my options. Communication was consistent, and I always felt informed about what was happening. His responsiveness and attention to detail made the experience much smoother. I would confidently recommend Joseph M. Udall to anyone seeking reliable legal counsel.
Meeting Joe six years ago at a networking event was the only positive thing that came out of my attendance at that event. He crafted my estate plan while educating me on my options. Five years later he updated everything for me. He is always responsive to emails or phone calls and patiently re-explains things to me when I forget.
Jo is efficient and does not waste time, which I find valuable in not wasting money. He get's straight to the point, and helps you know exactly what the best course of action to take is. He can decipher complex cases, and makes sense of confusing documents. He's an expert in the field and great to work with. I really appreciated his sense of humor which made meeting with him enjoyable in what might have otherwise been a drab situation.
Joseph Udall was recommended to us by a friend and truly it is the best recommendation we have ever gotten. We needed to update by parents' trust and wills, which were a little complicated and out of date. My parents are older and were nervous about the process. Joseph was patient, kind, and took pains to explain everything in a way that my parents both understood and felt comfortable with. His office worked quickly and communicated clearly. We wish we could tell everyone looking for a firm how great our experience was.
Mr Udall did an outstanding job on preparing our family trust. He is very pleasant and knowledgeable, takes the time to explain everything and made the whole transaction easy for us.
Mr. Udall is very professional, knowledgeable and handled my issues in a timely manner. He was very responsive to my questions and took care of everything to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Mr. Udall for any of your will/trust issues.

Hired Law Firm
I had an issue with the way my title was recorded on a house that I was selling in AZ. Joe was able to work out a solution to the issue without going through probate on the property and worked directly with the title insurance company to plead my case and get them to accept a several legal affidavits saving me lots of time and extra expense. Joe was quick to communicate with me every step of the way. I would definitely use his services again and recommend to others.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
