Joseph E Depaola

I work as a social worker and my place of employment recently hired Attorney DePaola to accompany me to a potentially contentious court hearing involving the appointment of a conservator for a patient I serve. Attorney DePaola conducted himself as a true professional when engaging with my colleagues ...and in meeting with my patient and her family members, who present with especially complex dynamics. He treated a difficult situation with the utmost respect and approached the work with clear compassion and sensitivity to what was at play for all those involved. Admittedly, our request for his assistance was somewhat last minute, but he worked hard to ensure that he was familiar with all pertinent information related to the case, and navigated the courtroom as if he had prepared for months leading up to the hearing. He was tactful and discreet in his questioning, again exemplifying a sensitivity that I feel is not always present in the legal field. I would highly recommend Attorney DePaola for any complex family matters that result in having to go to court.

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.

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.
