Joel is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He is courtroom smart, diligent, thorough, prepared and hard working. He is responsive to e mails and phone calls and responds in a timely manner.. Joel answered all of my questions and kept me informed of developments in my case. He gives sound, experienced and fact based legal advice. I highly recommend.

Joel always kept me informed about all the proceedings in our case. He worked with me to sharpen my testimony skills and prepared me for the case we were involved in.

I retained, Attorney Joel Huotari of WilliamsMcCarthy law firm, for what turned out to be a challenging and lengthy civil case. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. Joel is an exceptional attorney, who handled my legal matters with the professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness that attains results. He provided sound guidance and devised a strategy that ultimately ended in a positive outcome. He truly cared about my feelings and was very supportive during this emotional time. A kinder. more dedicated attorney will be hard to find, if not impossible. Joel is an attorney you can always depend on. I would highly recommend this firm, and more specifically, Attorney Joel M. Huotari, if you're looking for a superior litigation attorney who brings top-notch expertise to the table. My gratitude to him will last a lifetime!

Joel defended me in a defamation case which featured additional claims under the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, 765 ILCS 1075/1 and allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress. He succeeded in getting the case dismissed, and won a ruling that the plaintiff committed which ruling was upheld on appeal.

In the middle of a multi-year intellectual property dispute we were referred to Joel. His expertise and attention to detail were vital to getting our case resolved.

A Roscoe, IL heating and air conditioning contractor tried to unsuccessfully sue me for defamation after we won a small claims court case (breach of contract related) against him. Joel did a great job for us during the whole legal process that led to the dismissal with prejudice. It was our first time using the court system in this way and we appreciated the education that Joel provided at each step.

We retained Joel to defend a contract action filed against our company. Joel was everything you want in a lawyer: smart, responsive, concise. He understood that our company does not make money in litigation.
