[lawyers_peer_review] => I've worked with Joe for seven years as of 2022. No one will work harder or go to bat for you more than Joe. He's not afraid to ask the hard questions or ask for what may seem like an outrageous resolution at the time. Overall, there is no one more qualified than Joe to handle any type of criminal defense matter in this area, and maybe even the state. His deposition and negotiation skills are second to none.

Christopher Cole Bio
I grew up in Richland on a farm. I believe that growing up where I did, helped shaped me. It taught me how to work and to not take things for granted. After finishing law school, I moved back to Springfield and have lived here since. Outside of practicing law, my hobbies include but aren't limited to Mizzou Sports, the lake, and running around after my daughter.
