Joe’s an advocate for the injured who has litigated cases involving:

• • Car Accidents

  • Medical Malpractice
  • Product Failure
  • Wrongful Death
  • Construction Site Injuries

Giving back has always been a part of Joe’s credo. But for the grace of God go any one of us, says Joe. Giving back not only is worthwhile, it’s simply the right thing to do. Joe started his charity Music for the Mission nearly a decade ago in a sincere effort to give back to the community. The non-profit 501(c)(3) is all volunteer and has worked diligently to feed/shelter over 30,000 families across Northern, Central, and Southern NY.
