Very knowledgeable in his field......good personality.

I can’t speak highly enough about Joe’s results. If you want the best, follow his directions and trust his process. I put my life in Mr. Hurley’s hands and would do it 100 times over again (although let’s hope I never have to)! Thank you!!!

Joe served me many years ago to put down a false accusation in a child custody dispute. He understood the scope, forecasted the future accurately and instructed long term strategy for after our work together ended. He's one reason I won child custody DESPITE not working in that civil court. Don't misconstrue this as him working in child custody. He's a criminal attorney. He sees the big picture, that is how he operates. He's a very personable man. Bigger than life to some. He's all about action. He's direct, but colloquial. Joe's known to stir things up. Being politically incorrect has caused him some unfounded criticism for the sake of storytelling. He's the guy you want if you want someone to finish what they begin. Once you're a client, he'll always take your call.

Great place makes you feel at home

Took 4 months before he looked at my case. Seems to care but very busy and distracted

Never met Joe but was given the best legal representation I have ever had. Even if it was threw a other attorney. Sussex county doesn't have an attorney that will take such a broad variety of cases and make sure your offered the best

HURLEY IS DISHONEST AND UNETHICAL. If you want a terrible lawyer that will take your money and provide you with a less than stellar defense, then waste your money with Hurley. Someone told me he was one of the best lawyers in Delaware, so I took a chance, and still paying for it 15 years later. I paid Hurley to represent me in a sexual case where I was clearly innocent. Police also claimed they found rolling papers in my car, so I was also charged with Drug Paraphernalia, a charge that came before the jury to taint my character even though it could not be prosecuted without the evidence of any drugs. I met with Hurley 2 times, which was a waste of time as it seemed he was just going through the motions. He sent his legal helper to an arraignment, and he had liquor on his breath. Hurley did a sham of a job, and in fact got me convicted. He removed persons from the jury that may have been sympathetic to my case in favor of persons who were friends or relatives with the NC County Police. He also seemed overly friendly with the Prosecutor and I believe he assisted him as well. If you are foolish enough to retain Hurley, make sure you serve as your co-counsel and sit in on every session, and demand to be copied on ALL communications with the Justice Dept. I spent 10 months in prison and had to sign up as a Sex Offender, even though I never touched or had sex with anyone. To this day because of that conviction, police have bugged my cell phone and emails; spoofing me and used POLICE STINGRAY technology trying to entrap me into other criminal issues. For every client who has given him more than 1 star, that is an exception to his performance. Do your homework and find a lawyer that will put YOU first. That will not be Joe Hurley.
