Joel helped my brother and I with a TOD for our elderly mother. He also listened to our concerns and answered questions regarding an existing POA and living will.
Our mother was scheduled for a very risky surgery within a week of our appt at the law office. Joel and his staff went out of their way to accommodate us.
Joel was outstanding! I was connected with him through a referral, and I needed contract advice relatively quickly. Joel was quick to respond and action-oriented. Within a few hours, he had reviewed our contract, answered all of our questions and gave us great insight into what to expect next. Highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly. 100% recommend.
Highly recommend! I hired them to handle my late mother’s estate and he was able to get everything approved on a timeline that I never thought was possible, allowing me to close on the house on time and everything went smoothly.
Attorney Joel Dendiu recently handled several legal affairs for me: he settled my late aunt’s estate, wrote my home sales proposal, and set up my will and testament. I trust and appreciate his professional knowledge, strong work ethic, and wise counsel. I fully respect his integrity, and I urge anyone needing legal advice to consult with Mr. Dendiu. –Maralee S.

I have been working with Joel Dendiu, Attorney at Mishawaka Law since August 2025. He has been handling my brother’s estate as I am the executor and the trustee of the estate. I have worked with several attorneys in my life and Joel ranks at the top. I had a lot to learn about estates and trust, and he has helped me through these challenging steps. I’m located in Virginia and having Joel in the state where my brother lived has been a great asset. I know how busy attorneys are, but in the electronic age, Joel has been very responsive when it comes to communications. I think his fee was very reasonable for his services. I would highly recommend Joel and Mishawaka Law to anyone who is looking for a great law firm.
“I’ve worked with Joel on both estate planning and investment properties, and I honestly can’t say enough good things. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and caring—always going above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely, look no further!”
Joel has been so helpful. He looked at all of my documents and explained things to me about trusts. He is very reasonable with the cost of having the document done that he assisted me with. I definitely would confer with him again if need be.
