I have known Joel for years and have had the opportunity to work on major cases with him. An earlier reviewer talked about Joel being afraid to try a traffic case. There is simply no truth in that statement. Joel successfully tries cases in traffic court and has done so for the twenty two years that I have practiced in Guilford County.
Most good lawyers do not try speeding tickets because we generally get offers for non moving violations which means no insurance points or license points. Over the years, the only people that have tried speeding cases in Guilford County are unrepresented people and I have yet to see a favorable outcome.
Joel is simply not the type of lawyer to take someone's money unless he believes he can provide a service.

Mr. Oakley wouldn't take my case as he was scared he'd lose. He himself said he had 30+ years of experience, and still advised me to take a plea for my speeding ticket. Just because a judge is more likely to side with a state trooper than the defendant is no reason to shy away from a case, if we all backed down when the odds were against us we'd still be a segregated country. Will not be recommending him to any friends or family.
One of the best in the business. Trust Mr. Oakley to do his job. Awesome results.

Joel is the man!! He's the most honest, caring and sincere lawyer I've ever known. I've hired Joel a few times over the past 10 years and have never been disappointed. He's a miracle worker for sure. He will get the absolute best outcome possible for any situation. He's highly respected in the courts and knows his stuff. I HIGHLY recommend Joel Oakley.

Unfortunately in my life I had had the need of a number of attorneys for different reasons. I hired Attorney Joel Oakley for a serious traffic matter and I have never had an attorney that was as knowledgeable and concerned with my case. He was with me every step of the way, along with Ms. Julie in the office making sure I had all documents needed and was aware of all important dates. He didn't just push me to take a plea he fought for me I have sooo much appreciation this was by far the best experience I have ever had with a law office and I give them both high praise!!!

I cant say enough good things about this Lawyer Joel Oakley. He took a nasty traffic issue and turned it around in our favor. The BEST OF THE BEST. You can even call his office and you may have Mr Oakley himself answer the phone. I spoke with him on several occasion, and he probably thought lord why does this woman keep calling, but on the other end of the phone he was just as pleasant each and every time I called. Thank you Mr Joel Oakley, if there is ever anything I can do for you please reach out to me.
