Each client receives our personal attention because we want you to feel comfortable discussing issues that can be emotionally difficult to address.

Services
Joseph L. Motta earned his B.A. from Ohio Northern University and his J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Upon graduation from law school, Mr. Motta served as a law clerk to Judge Thomas D. Lambros of the United States District Court for the Northern Ohio District of Ohio. Mr. Motta has practiced in the areas of business and real estate law in addition to estate planning and elder law.
At Joseph L. Motta Co., we are a proud Avon Lake business - happy to serve clients in our local community with a personal approach. Joe lives in Avon Lake and enjoys running into his clients regularly around town. As a frequent promoter of Avon Lake, advocate of the community and advertiser in various community papers, we were happy to get the opportunity to take the Avon Lake Small Business Spotlight on Avon Lake's website last month.
At Joseph L. Motta Co., LPA, we are devoted to our local community. We attend many events as sponsors, featured guests and presenters. If you are interested in learning more about estate planning, wills and trusts or other practice areas we specialize in, attending one of these local events may be the right venue for you.
We can make an appointment for a free consultation over the phone, at your location or at our office on Walker Road in Avon Lake. My wife and I highly recommend Joe for estate planning services. We have been using Joe's services for many years, and he has been extremely thorough and thoughtful. He created a comprehensive, efficient estate plan for our family, guiding us through each step in the process.
Estate planning is not just about your death. Estate planning involves much more than just deciding who will receive your assets at your death. Proper estate planning involves the design and implementation of a strategy to protect your family in the event of incapacity or disability as well as death.

Joe Motta provided great help in managing financial issues related to my mother's care. He made sure everything was done properly, provided great contacts for other professional services, and was responsive to phone calls and emails. We highly recommend him for Elder Care law.

My wife and I were recommended to Joseph through a family member. We had not been through estate planning before and did not know what to expect. Joseph and his team were incredibly approachable, informative, and professional throughout the process. Joseph's work was timely, thorough and fairly priced. Estate planning can be an uncomfortable process, but Joseph and his team made it simple and stress free. I highly recommend Joseph and his team and would certainly work with him again.

We have just completed the entire estate planning process with Joe. This is something I should have a done years ago but very glad it is done and also very happy we worked with Joe Motta. He is thorough, knowledgeable and really covered all the bases for us. I leaned an awful lot through this and it is so nice to know we control this and not a judge when the time comes. We highly recommend all get this done and also highly recommend Joe. You will not be disappointed.

He is professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. He continues to be our trusted legal advisor and I would highly recommend him for any estate planning matter.
