Mr. Joseph Donald Morath Jr., Partner

A lawyer with integrity prioritizes their clients' needs over financial gain, delivering honest evaluations of the case's chances and maintaining clear, consistent communication throughout. A genuine professional values your time, shows empathy, and sets realistic expectations, avoiding any empty promises

When searching for a lawyer, it is important to ask about a lawyer's actual courtroom experience. In personal injury cases, experience is crucial. A seasoned lawyer not only understands the intricacies of the legal system but also has a proven track record of successful outcomes and expertise in managing cases like yours. Experience goes beyond the number of years in practice; it encompasses the range and complexity of cases handled.

Understanding that no two cases are the same, I provide individualized service and building a personal relationship with his clients and their families. With a reputation as an aggressive advocate for his clients, Joe is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure justice is achieved.

Helping someone who has been wronged obtain the justice they deserve.

Exercise, running, and spending time with my family and friends.

I remain committed to supporting fellow Armed Forces veterans and have served as a veteran mentor at the City of Buffalo Veteran’s Court. I am also a past member of the Board of Directors of Western New York Heroes Inc., an organization that provides veterans, members of the armed services, and the widows and children of deceased veterans with access to essential services, financial assistance, and resources that support their lives and sustain their dignity. I am the former chair of the Bar Association of Erie County’s Committee on Veterans’ and Service-Members’ Legal Issues, and a past member of the board of directors for the SUNY Buffalo Law Alumni Association. I currently serve as a Deputy Town Attorney for the Town of Hamburg, New York and as a Committee Member on the New York State Bar Association Committee on Veterans.
