Since joining Piucci Law in 2015, Joe has established himself as one of the premier trial lawyers in Oregon. Few lawyers have obtained a $972,000 jury verdict before the age of 30. Joe has. In 2019, he became the youngest lawyer ever elected to serve on the Oregon State Bar Board of Governors at age 31 — a distinction that says something about how his peers see him. More recently, Joe Piucci obtained a $1.84 million jury verdict for an injured worker after a nationwide corporation offered only $100,000.
Before teaming up with Steve, Joe spent years as a public defender and criminal defense attorney at Multnomah Defenders, Inc. There is no substitute for that kind of experience: thousands of hours in court, trying jury trials, arguing motions, and standing up for real people every single day. That’s the foundation Joe brings to every case today.
At Piucci Law, Joe gravitates toward the tough, complex cases that other lawyers shy away from. Injured workers who have lost their careers. Families mourning a wrongful death. Victims of jail and prison neglect whose stories would otherwise go untold. In the civil rights arena, Joe has taken on some of the most consequential cases in Oregon in recent years — including federal civil rights lawsuits arising from the 2020 Portland protests. When the government overreaches, Joe is ready.
In Joe’s own words: “The best part of this job is the people. Building relationships with clients and fighting for them against companies that would rather pay lawyers than do right by someone they’ve hurt – that never gets old. And it’s not just about winning. When a company has to pay, it changes how they operate. That matters.”

Joe was born and raised in Northeast Portland, attended Grant High School, and still lives in the neighborhood with his wife Gaby and their two young children. Outside the office, he spends his time in the garden, cooking, fishing, and hiking. He is curious by nature and likes to get into it. He has a genuine appreciation for the arts and a talent for drawing and painting. A few of his pieces hang in the Piucci Law office.
