I was given Joel's contact info from a friend, and called him in regard to an issue that one of my children's friends were going through at the time. He answered on the first call, was friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. I don't know that you could ask for any better criteria than the aforementioned qualities when seeking someone's expertise in the criminal defense field. I highly recommend giving Joel Crim a call if you find yourself in need of his services.read more

Joel is an A+ attorney but even better than that when we talk it feels like I am talking to a friend and that is rare. This guy has had long phone conversations with me and I never felt like he was trying to get rich off my bad luck. He always answers texts. He consulted with me for over a year on a legal matter I knew would eventually come to a head. My case is ongoing so I won't get into the details. I am a worrier but this is something that I am not worried a bit about. When I got arrested and had to sit in jail I never worried a min and a few days in. He came to tell me he not only worked out a great outcome but he got my court date moved up and that I could get out the very next day and thats exactly what happened. I know he has a ton of clients but never once did he make me feel like what I needed wasn't important. I would have thought I was his only client. I really consider him a friend now and I know if he's on my side he will go above and beyond and get the best possible outcome that there can be. I am so thankful for him. If you choose Joel you won't be disappointed. I wish I could give him 100 stars but 5 will have to do.Joel, if you ever need me for anything just say the word I am forever in your debt.read more

I have known Joel Crim for years now. There has been many instances where I looked to him for legal council for not just me, but for my close family members, my clients, and also friends. He has helped them all as if they were me and I did not have to worry and it was already known there would be excellent feedback. Many times he has guided me on legal matters just for my well being. Never looking for a way to make money from a dire situation, but more than once has brought me out of troubled scenarios and only asked for me to buy him lunch when I was in financial hardship. He has gone over and beyond what I’ve asked him to do, with my best interests in mind above all else. I have found myself in a few sticky situations in my younger years and he helped to make light of those grim circumstances and then handled them in the most professional way possible in the courtroom, guiding me along the way and saving my life into adulthood in the process. Legal matters can be very concerning and detrimental to ones livelihood and I can say I enjoyed working with him throughout each and every endeavor. He always made sure that I had the optimal outcome in every situation for me and those closest to me that were referred to him. I recommend him to the people that I care about most, without a doubt in my mind they are in the best hands in the business.read more

I do not even know where to start! Joel is the absolute best lawyer I have ever met. I spoke to many lawyers after being arrested for a spurious felony charge by MNPD. After speaking to Joel it was clear that he was my guy. I was initially afraid but speaking to Joel was so comforting, I felt like I was speaking to family. He took care of me and knew exactly what to do. My case was dismissed and is now in the process of being expunged. Joel is excellent at communicating, has years of experience in Nashville, Knows exactly what to do, is very kind, humble, and you won't find anyone more fair.read more

Joel Crim has handled a couple of cases for me in the last three years. Both times, he returned my initial calls promptly, got the necessary information, and got right to work. He was very honest with me and provided good advice based on his prior experience. Both cases were resolved quickly and in a satisfactory manner.read more

As my first experience in the world of attorneys, I think Joel was the best I could have found. He was easy to reach by phone email and even text messaging and promptly got back to me. He was able to explain my case in a way I could understand and put my worries at ease by answering all of my questions. He critically assessed my case, presented me with all of my options, and ultimately left the decisions up to me. Joel sees value value in clients and works to vindicate them. I am so grateful for his hard work and help.read more
