Hired Law Firm

Im so disappointed in this law firm. Very manipulative, Nathan could care less about you or your feelings it’s about the money! Lord know I wish I would have followed my first mind am fired him. He legit got me me no money back an my life was damaged in total from the truckers negligence. I could have died, I lost a lot struggled with depression, lost my job and my car an 3 years later I walked away 5000 in my pocket 20000 in total and now I’m being sued by the truckers for 25000 an he said it would 1500 for him to even represent me. Really confused why I would be left alone to face this civil suit! Seems like I would have been better off committing suicide. As I have struggled suicidal thoughts since that accident!

Hired Law Firm

Joe kohl was the worst decision I ever made with a divorce lawyer. He so badly wanted to get my case done I just settled because I didn’t know what else to do. On top of that this guy told my ex husband’s lawyer things that he never should have sent. Then my ex husband’s lawyer repeated them to my ex! It was insane what he said at me as a person and information of personal matters. Please find another lawyer.

Hired Attorney Joe Kuhl

Don't use Joe for divorce attorney. He did not tell me about court date. Of course I missed it and he told Joe judge he didn't know why I was a no show. He doesn't communicate, educate, or advise on divorce. He seems to put no effort in helping me through the process .

Do not hire this attorney, stole funds that was suppose to settle a previous case. Totally throws you under the bus, while purposefully racking up thousands of dollars. My case is now in jeopardy agaist me.

Hired Attorney Joe Kuhl

I found Joe to be very condescending and dismissive. I was very clear on the simple things I wanted from the divorce which he completely ignored and did not represent for me at all. My estranged was in contempt of court on at least 2 occasions & although I paid to have that followed up there was nothing that ended up happening as Joe said the judge will just take care of it at my divorce hearing. That was today and everything has been put off till March. I was warned this would happen-drags everything out and exhausts people and their finances. Joe does not communicate enough beforehand, does not establish expectations, does not explain things in a simple matter, and you have to know what to ask in order to even get dialogue started and he still dodges some questions or even goes silent. I found him to be completely frustrating, even though I tried to maintain composure in the beginning and do as he instructed. I wish I had had the time and finances to hire someone else.

Hired Attorney Joe Kuhl

Joe Kuhl told me to admit to something I didn’t do for it would be easier to plead guilty than to argue a case. My son was abused and he wouldn’t take a stand against an attorney who is now a judge. His counsel has devastated my life. I would have expected more from a fraternity pledge brother and college roommate.

Save yourself the headache and do not hire. Do your research as an attorney is a critical decision you would hate to have to live with the mistake of hiring Attorney Joseph Kuhl. I could go on with examples and my case specifics, but his reviews and feedback alone speak enough to encourage anyone to hire.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

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.
