Decades Of Experience
Biography
As a lawyer, Joe Downer concentrates on civil litigation, trial work, and worker's compensation. His consistent loyalty to his clients has earned him a membership with the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious group of fewer then 1% of U.S. lawyers who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. He credits his success to a passion for helping others.
"I love what I do because you can really help those in need. There is nothing like a hug from a client or to see the smile on their face when you have gone the extra mile and achieved a good result for them, whether through trial or settlement."
In addition to his career as a lawyer in Charlotte, Joe has also proudly built a family here. Although home is his favorite place to be, he loves to travel with his wife for 40 years, Elaine, and their daughter, Elizabeth.
