Excellent and compassionate attorney

I have found Joe to be an excellent lawyer. He has handled my husband's and mine legal affairs for years. But this past year my husband was in a serious accident and I turned to Joe when it happened. He helped myself and my husband through what has been a terrible ordeal. Each step of the way he has ...guided us through what has been an legal and emotional journey with excellent legal advice and emotional support.

Excellent Lawyer!

Attorney DePaola was nothing short of exceptional during my divorce and as support since. He kept me fully informed, was understanding and kind, and very supportive of me and my children. Perhaps the ONE person who posted a negative report on Attorney DePaola is the one with an issue (why else wou...ld someone need 6-10 lawyers in recent times)? Highly recommend you calling Attorney DePaola!

Repeat Customer

Attorney DePaola was my parents' lawyer for many years. When my husband and I bought our first house, we knew we wanted Attorney DePaola to help us. He did such a great job with our closing, that we went back to him to help us close when we refinanced our home. His staff was extremely helpful answeri...ng our many questions; as first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing and called often. I highly recommend Attorney DePaola for anyone looking for a new laywer.

Attorney DePaola is the best choice for an attorney and I will use his service for every legal matter.

This past year, my Mother died, and I asked Attorney DePaola to take on the enormous responsibility of closing her estate. He walked me and my family through many difficult situations, always being patient with my inexperience. He guided me from paying for the funeral, to appointing my brother as E...xecutor of the estate. He worked continuously with the court to get the estate through Probate and he guided us on selling her home. One week before the closing of the house, my brother, the Executor of the estate, had a stroke, and could not sign his name. Attorney DePaola was influential in obtaining an immediate court date, then, he went to the court to expedite a substitute Executor so we could close on the sale of the house. He handled a very complicated situation with ease. He has helped me and our family to get through the most difficult year of our lives. He has kept on top of every legal matter concerning my Mother’s estate. More importantly, he e-mails me every day to ask about my brother’s progress after his stroke. Attorney DePaola has taken care of every legal matter for me for the past year while I grieved the loss of our Mother and tended to my Brother’s health. Our family appreciates Joe’s hard work and we owe him many thanks. Attorney DePaola is the best choice for an attorney and I will use his service for every legal matter. Maureen LaBanca

Excellent Real Estate Attorney

I have used Joe to represent me for my home closing and most recently for a mortgage refinance. He is courteous, knowledgeable, honest, and very responsive to phone calls and questions. He is very friendly and personable and goes out of his way to provide the highest quality service possible. I wo...uld definitely hire Joe again if I ever need legal council in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
