Joseph Dressner was born in New York City but grew up in Clifton Springs, New York. Having attended school locally in the Midlakes School District, Joe received his undergraduate degree from SUNY Brockport. Law school beckoned Joe to a new part of the country and the University of Tulsa College of Law, where he graduated in the top 3% of his class. Joe began his legal career in Springfield, Missouri, where he gained invaluable experience trying cases with extremely talented and knowledgeable senior attorneys.

Joe took the New York Bar Exam and in 2001, opened his own practice in Canandaigua. Since that time, Joe has successfully represented many hundreds of clients in New York State.

​When Joe is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and collecting Wallace Nutting pictures.
