Law Offices of Joel J Kofsky

Awesome lawyer! Highly recommended!

Joel Kofsky and his team helped me get the settlement I needed for my back injury after I slipped on the unshoveled stairs of my Center City apartment building. He and his crew (including Derek, Kimberly, Harold, and Vincent) were all extremely helpful in assisting me in understanding the process and timeline of my lawsuit and were very supportive with me recovering from my injury. Joel helped me find a physical therapy center that was extremely helpful in aiding my recovery from injury in addition to winning my case. I want to thank everyone in the office for their dedicated work, their expertise, and their compassion in helping me recover physically and in getting the settlement I needed to pay for loss of income, medical bills, and other expenses.

Joel and his staff were amazing to deal with in the case of our car accident. Mr. Sawyer, the paralegal, was informative, available for questions and updated us on our case in a timely manner. We’ve had to deal with person injury lawyers in the past, but won’t have to look any further if one is needed in the future. If you need a lawyer call Joel Kofsky, you will not be disappointed

Here’s the deal with these types of law firms: they survive on the ticket resolution churn. No matter what your scenario, when you call for a free consultation they will do their utmost to convince you that if you don’t hire them you will face the worst possible consequences and that you don’t have a chance of representing yourself.
I was calling about a pretty straightforward matter where I had received a citation many months after the fact for an alleged traffic incident. It was not witnessed by the reporting officer but rather had been called in by a motorist, I have solid evidence that I was in another place at another time, the insurance company has already sided with me that I was not involved in the alleged incident, there was no damage whatsoever on my vehicle, etc.
Essentially, someone was trying to scam me into paying for damages they did to their vehicle through some other means by claiming I was in an accident with them. It’s extremely open-​shut and there is a mountain of evidence in my favour that I had already presented to my insurance company, but the citation was of a very serious nature and I wasn’t sure what I could expect in terms of procedures, so I called this firm for a consultation.
The attorney I spoke with, Michael, basically pushed the hard sell to convince me to hire him for $ 300 and in return he would negotiate the charge to a lesser charge because basically judges are super arbitrary and according to this attorney, I wouldn’t even really have a chance to argue my case.
Well, I’m not an idiot, so of course I got a second and third opinion. The reality is that you do have an opportunity to present your case, and that while judges can be arbitrary and that is a real risk, if you go in and behave respectfully, have your evidence in order to present, and have a solid case, they aren’t totally unreasonable. Now, I will be testing this theory in a few months, so fingers crossed!
Bottom line: if there isn’t much proof one way or another and you are facing a serious charge, hire an attorney. Heck, even hire one of these guys. They know the ins and outs of the system and can probably get you a good deal. I just wished they had been a little more candid and less transparently manipulative.
God, what am I saying?! These are lawyers we’re talking about…

One man, accused of a crime he did not commit, goes on a quest… for justice.
So after I totally did not cut across the shoulder in a sweet move to get ahead of a huge traffic jam up caused by some semi driver who was unable to choose between left or right lanes (so took equal parts of both), I found my rear view filled with the daytime rave lightshow that authority automobiles like to throw when you’ve pulled some baller driving and they want you to stop so they can congratulate you on being such a badass. On this particular day, however, the state trooper ignored my high five and instead gave me a ticket.
So, as with any problem I encounter, I turned to Google and found Joel Kofsky at
This could not have been any easier. Here’s how it worked:
Step 1. Paypal money to Joel.
Step 2. Fax ticket to Joel.
Step 3. Receive notice that my case was dismissed.
I fought the law and
I won (with help).
