My father chose Joe years ago so after my dear father’s passing, Joe helped guide me through uncharted waters, patiently explaining processes with kindness and empathy. He responded quickly and alerted me when I had tasks to complete, making sure my part was done properly. I felt like he was truly looking out for my best interest and comfortably recommend him to my friends.

Joe is focused and dedicated to his clients . He has a passion for justice

Karl provided excellent service. A true professional. He made me aware of potential pitfalls and saved me a lot of heartache.

What a great experience my mom and I had working with Mr. Joseph Gruner. We expected this process to be difficult and somewhat complicated, but were pleasantly surprised. Mr. Gruner worked swiftly and proficiently and took care of everything. The most important and meaningful part was how our every concern was handled with professionalism, honesty, and kindness. We highly recommend Mr. Gruner to handle any and all estate planning needs.

I have had the pleasure of working with Joe on several occasions over a period of years. Joe is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and fair. He also has a calming and steading effect, especially when a firm hand is needed. I would certainly call on Joe any time I needed a really good lawyer. Others I know who have worked with Joe have all had a similar excellent experience. I hold up Joe as a consummate professional.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Karl and his team on complex real estate items over the past several months. Karl Dowden Law is very knowledgeable, diligent and professional. As a client, it is always important to have trust and transparency with your attorney. I have received both throughout the process of both a sale and a purchase (which in nature is a complex duo.) I highly recommended the services of Karl Dowden Law and feel more than comfortable referring my family, friends and colleagues to work with this team.

I used Alegria & Associates to help with my Social Security Disability case and they were professionally dedicated and very informative with what I needed to do regarding my case. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a good law firm.

Joe Gruner is in a class all by himself. A friend of mine had recommended Mr Gruner after my father had passed away and my mom needed legal assistance. From the moment my mother and I met him we knew things would be okay. Not only is Joe an amazing lawyer and professional, he is a wonderful and kind human being. He truly cares about his clients and does everything within his means to help. Any time we need legal advice he will be the first person we will call.

I have had the good fortune to work with Joe as my estate attorney for over twenty five years and he has drafted the original and many up-dated documents. Although much in life changes over 25 years, a reassuring constant is Joe's professionalism , keen estate law expertise, comprehensive practical advice all from a beautifully caring , patient kind man . He really really listens , thinks and asks questions while dedicating as much time as needed to ensure he accurately drafts the wishes of clients. Many of the issues discussed are difficult and require one to address their own mortality . Somehow Joe makes one feel comfortable , supported and respected. There is no other estate lawyer I would ever consider . Thank you

I am an investment broker and have worked with Joe for years as we share mutual relationships with many clients. Joe is intelligent, hard-working, and runs his practice with the utmost integrity.

Joe was my uncle's attorney for over 30 years. When my uncle passed, Joe helped us with the closing and distribution of the estate. Joe is a no-nonsense, old school NY attorney who is responsive and honest. And his rate is less than the big firms.
