Posted by Michael | January 15, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Efficient, Blunt, and Hard Working

I hired Joseph to for the process of marriage separation. While my preference was to get an Annulment, Joseph was straightforward enough to warn me that those situations do not occur very often and are unlikely. Either way, I appreciated his honesty and word, and I decided to continue working with Jo...e (under the impression that I would get a divorce as an alternative). As luck would have it, thanks to Joe's expert advice, guidance and counsel, when our matter went into court, we were rewarded with having our marriage annulled (instead of a divorce). This was of great importance to me and my former spouse, so we greatly appreciated Joseph's help - I would hire him again if ever need be!

My wife and I highly, highly recommend this outstanding Attorney. He handled a myriad of Legal matters for us with great skill, and his advice was first rate. He was always readily available and quickly responded to our questions, requests, and needs. He immediately addressed conflicts and fully reso...lved them. Joseph DePaola is a miracle worker on Home Sale Closings!

Thank you

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.

Excellent Lawyer with Great Results!

Attorney DePaola did a great job representing me in my child support case. He was excellent in the courtroom and someone you would want to have on your side!

Excellent Lawyer

Attorney DePaola has been our family attorney for over 30 years. His legal background and experience allow him to provide expert services in many different aspects of law (real estate, estate planning, litigation, divorce, etc.) Our friends are also pleased with his professional services and have u...sed his services for many years. His conventional and everyday manner help to provide a comfortable atmosphere for asking questions and seeking information. He has my high recommendation for any professional legal services required.

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.
