For more than five years, Joseph managed the firm’s busy defense and traffic practice and expanded the firm’s capacity to handle increasingly high demand for the firm’s services after a series of high-profile civil litigation cases involving the DeKalb Recorder’s Court over its mishandling of thousands of state misdemeanor charges.
