Excellent Attorney

Attorney DePaola recently represented me in a family matter, and was extremely organized, thorough and professional. His fee was very fair, and, although I know (for a fact) that he spent more time than was estimated when charging his retainer, he did not exceed that amount. I would highly recommen...d him.

use this lawyer if you want to win!

joe is a knowledgeable, competent and accurate lawyer. i hired him after firing the first lawyer i hired. He was one of the most responsible people i did business with in a long time! i had an extremely difficult and complicated divorce case. Joe handled my case with the utmost professionalism at... all times.

Excellent Lawyer! He really cares about the client! You are not just another case.

I have worked with Attorney Depaola since the end of 2007. He has always returned calls, been completely honest with me and fair with his fees. He cares about your needs and meets with you several times prior to court to make sure both he and you are completely prepared. He is extremely knowledgabl...e and it shows that he has a lot of experience. It is important to know that your lawyer is doing the best job he can for you and that you are not just another case he is handling and I feel that Attorney Depaola has always done that for me. I have happily recommended him to several people and will continue to recommend him in the future.

Excellent Lawyer - Highly recommend

Attorney DePaola's legal expertise and experience are highly commendable. We have used his effective legal services in areas of estate planning, probate, real estate, and litigation. Our family and friends have used his professional services for more than 25 years, all with satisfaction. He lives ...in the town where he works, and his fees are affordable. He is active in the community and does not seem concerned about competition with high-priced downtown lawyers. Attorney DePaola's knowledge, dedication, and years of experience make him an informed and valuable resource for professional legal services.

Client

I went to Joe to handle my Divorce mediation. I feel he did a good job of informing my (then) husband and myself and led us thru the divorce process so there was nothing unexpected. He kept things easy going & it made things less complicated and stressful for us. We would recommend him to others with...out hesitation.

  • 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.
