Solid Representation, Room for Improvement

I engaged Joe Griffith for a complex products liability case involving a defective medical device. His 21 years of experience was evident in how he navigated the litigation, particularly in federal court where he’s recognized for commercial litigation. Joe’s expertise in financial services and business litigation also proved helpful when negotiating with the opposing counsel. However, there were a few areas where the experience felt just adequate. Communication could be more timely—there were periods where I waited longer than expected for updates. While his legal strategy was sound, the case resolution took longer than anticipated, and I felt the settlement could have been more favorable. Overall, Joe is knowledgeable and capable, but I would have appreciated more proactive communication and a clearer timeline early on.

Skilled Litigator for Complex Cases

Joe Griffith handled my product liability case with precision and composure. His 21 years of experience in commercial litigation and financial services litigation were evident in his courtroom strategy. I was impressed by his trial skills—both state and federal courts seemed familiar territory to him. While his expertise is unmatched, response times on some follow-ups could be swifter. Still, his results speak for themselves. Highly recommended for business litigation.

Knowledgeable but could improve communication

Joe Griffith handled a complex products liability case for my company with a solid understanding of the legal nuances involved. His 21 years of experience were evident in his courtroom presence and familiarity with both state and federal litigation. However, there were delays in response times to emails and calls, which created some frustration when urgent questions arose. While he secured a favorable outcome, the process felt slower than necessary. His recognition in commercial litigation was reassuring, but I wish communication had been more consistent. Overall, competent representation, but room for improvement in client responsiveness.

His extensive experience in federal and state courts proved invaluable in navigating the intricacies of my case. Joe’s strategic approach and deep understanding of business litigation led to a favorable outcome, which I greatly appreciated.

Adequate but could improve

Attorney Joe Griffith at Greenberg Traurig handled my financial services litigation case with solid legal expertise, drawing from his 21 years of experience. His deep knowledge of commercial litigation and financial disputes was evident in the strategic approach he took. However, I found the communication during the process to be somewhat inconsistent. While he was responsive to major updates, I often had to follow up for routine progress checks. The initial case timeline estimates were somewhat optimistic, leading to longer-than-expected delays. That said, his familiarity with federal and state court procedures and his recognized expertise in commercial litigation were certainly assets. The outcome was favorable, but I would have preferred more proactive communication throughout.

Exceptional Litigator with Minor Speed Bump

Joe Griffith handled a complex products liability case for me with remarkable professionalism. His 21 years of experience were evident in the way he analyzed the case and strategized our defense. The depth of his knowledge in financial services and business litigation was invaluable, especially when navigating the intricate regulations involved. While his legal expertise is top-tier (recognized in commercial litigation, no less!), I wish his response time to emails could be slightly faster—though I understand how busy a trial lawyer with a national practice must be. Ultimately, his courtroom prowess and meticulous preparation secured a favorable outcome. If you need a savvy litigator, Joe is an excellent choice, just be patient with follow-ups.

Competent but Room to Improve

Joe Griffith handled a complex products liability case for me, and while his legal expertise was evident—especially in financial services litigation—communication was sometimes slow. He’s well-recognized in commercial litigation, but I expected more frequent updates. The case resolved favorably, but the process felt slower than necessary. For national trials, his experience is clear, but client responsiveness could improve.
