I highly recommend Joe Paulozzi as a personal injury attorney. He took the time to really listen to me and hear me out concerning my case, had no reservations upon accepting my case, was readily available to speak with me whenever I had questions, obtained a maximum insurance limit settlement, and is still fighting for me because he believes my case is worth even more. He is an honest, reputable, class-act attorney.
