Borsberry Law Offices, P.C.

Read all the garbage reviews below. DO NOT hire this guy. This guy only contacts you when it’s time to get paid. I actually had to ask him if he’s on my ex’s pay roll. And he got very defensive. Save your cry baby rebuttal. This many garbage reviews present accuracy. This guy was given multiple examples of parent alienation and did NOTHING!

Really wish I could give LESS than one star. He will not talk to you until days before your hearing. And make you look the fool as they are losing. They will charge you thousands of dollars to cost you hundreds of hours with your family… all because they can’t be bothered to do their job properly.

Joe is truly an amazing guy. He took on my complicated case with confidence and always made me feel like success was within reach. His patience is unmatched, and his loyalty to his clients is something you don’t see every day. Joe is completely trustworthy, and there’s no one else I would rather rely on during a difficult situation. A huge thank‑you to Joe and his staff for taking such good care of me. Their support made all the difference.

Joe borsberry does not deserve any stars at all. He representing me in my divorce for me to find out 3 weeks later while driving my children off to my ex-wife, that he is related to the other side of the family. Make sure you do your research on him because I got screwed and do not want to see this happen to anyone else. So please disregard the one star, because it won't let me post unless I give them a star. Have a great day, and please look for a different lawyer. If you get Joe. I don't know about the rest of his law people but him representing me and being a part of the other side's family is unexcusable

Mr. Borsberry and his team are just absolutely phenomenal from fighting for you in court to working with you on payments so your not burden with it from a financial aspect especially depending on what your case is which is stressful enough to worry about. I lost my babies back in 2023 and immediately went to Borsberry for help and boy did he help; I can now say I have my babies back home where they belong all thanks his continuous fighting in court! Definitely safe to say we will be going back to Mr. Borsberry and his team for any future legal needs!

Mr Borseberry and his team was very responsive and did an outstanding job with my case! I highly recommend him and his team!

I hired Joe and his team to help me with a DCFS appeal. I tried to handle the case to being with, and was cooperating with the investigation thinking that the TRUTH would set me free. Boy was I wrong! With 50 years on the state registry hanging over my head, I knew I had to do something. So I hired Joe, that is when I met his wonderful paralegal Denise who kept me informed, updated, and went well beyond her duties for me. At the end of the day justice was served, and Joe walked around the attorney for DCFS. It was sad that DCFS would rather ruin somebody's life than admit they did something wrong. However thanks to Joe and Denise, after almost a year, I can start to get my life back. I'd hire Joe for anything that I would need help with again, and would send people his way with out hesitation!

I had a great experience with Borsberry Law Offices. Joseph Borsberry and his team were professional, responsive, and made the process much less stressful. They were able to get me an excellent outcome, and I felt supported throughout. I would recommend this firm to anyone needing legal help in the Peoria County area.

Trash lawyer firm Joe is trash and so is his staff. Took multiple of thousands of dollars from me with no outcome of my case mind you the case was in the stage of finalizing and signing and he chose to withdraw straight trash leave it where it belongs👎

He doesn’t deserve a star — he deserves a warning label. I paid a $3,500 retainer for Joseph Borsberry to appear in court a couple of times and handle my case, but I received almost nothing in return—no meaningful updates, no real progress, and very little communication. After making additional payments that brought my total close to $4,000, he abruptly decided to withdraw from my case at the very end, leaving me stuck and scrambling to find new representation. Let me be clear: his office does not communicate. Since my last court date on May 9th, I called 18 times—18 times—with no real answers, no support, and no indication anyone cared. Instead of doing the job he was paid for, Joseph filed a motion to withdraw and walked away like it was nothing. He also has an irritating habit of constantly interrupting when you’re trying to talk, making it clear he has little interest in actually listening to your concerns. Meanwhile, his paralegal Denise once emailed me saying: “This is a mess. BUT, we will get it straightened out. I will be honest with you, it probably won’t be over tomorrow. BUT, we WILL get it figured out and cleared up.” Those were her exact words — and not a single part of that promise came true. At one point after court, Joseph said, “Is it really worth fighting for if there’s only a couple hundred dollar difference?” Yes, Joseph — when it comes to child support, every dollar counts. That comment showed just how little he values his clients or the children involved. Even more concerning, they never secured a financial affidavit from the opposing party, so they lacked the essential, accurate financial information needed. Instead, they were willing to base child support calculations on rough estimates—an approach that’s not just sloppy, but completely unacceptable for competent legal representation. If you’re thinking about hiring him, don’t. He’ll take your money, waste your time, and leave you scrambling to fix what he failed to do. You’re better off representing yourself than trusting someone who won’t return calls, finish your case, or act professionally. No suit—even a pinstripe one—can make sloppy work and lack of commitment look sharp. Because he failed to do his job, I’m now forced to pay another attorney just to finish the work Joseph was originally hired to complete. He didn’t withdraw for any valid reason—he walked away because he didn’t like being called out for taking payment without delivering results. That’s not legal representation. That’s taking advantage of a parent doing their best to fight for their child. And honestly? I hope he stubs his pinky toe on the sharpest corner of a coffee table — a small but satisfying dose of karma for the stress and disappointment he put me through
