Hired Joseph For My First Home Purchase
Joseph was the absolute best—if I could give more than 5 stars, I would! It was my first home purchase and first time hiring an attorney. I saw that he was rated the highest in my area and now I see why. The whole process of working with him could not have been easier! He was there every step of the way and through all the obstacles (believe me there were many). He was always on top of everything, would reach out with frequent updates from seller’s counsel, and would simplify the confusing legalese surrounding the entire process. From the custom riders to the initial sellers contract, the seamless attorney review phase, and much more, I couldn’t have asked for better than Joseph on my side. Well done, sir!

I received a traffic ticket in Bergen county and contacted Joseph to help me with the resolution. He is honest about my options, transparent about the process and guided me through the new zoom court process to get to a great resolution. I would not hesitate to use Joseph's services again should the need arise

Responsible and reliable
I worked with Joseph in several different cases during the last few years, most recently he helped me on closing a new real estate purchase. He was very helpful in answering all the questions I had. He followed up with the other party timely. He was very clear about when do to what. I was able to close the deal a week early. Overall he’s responsible and reliable.

Excellent service
Got myself into a hit and run incident for the first time and did not know on what steps to take. Joseph fully communicated and walked me through all the steps and options that I had. Everything worked out pretty good at the end.

Real Estate Purchase
Joseph is an experienced and very knowledgeable Real Estate attorney. He represented me a few years back with the sale of my condo. He was the first attorney I contacted when I was pursuing the purchase of another property. He advised me on every step of the home buying process and was very thorough. I highly recommend Joseph Rutigliano for all your Real Estate legal needs.

Automobile accident
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Joseph Rutigliano when he accepted my daughter's request to represent her in an automobile accident. Throughout the entire process, he was prompt, polite and professional. I genuinely recommend his legal services to anyone in need of them. I highly doubt that anyone would regret their decision in doing so.

Great Representation
Mr Rutigliano’s representation was beyond helpful and a blessing. He went above and beyond on multiple occasions over the course of over 6 months for an incident I needed help with that involved possible license suspension and an accident in North Bergen. He was patient, prompt and honest. He even accompanied me to my DMV hearing, which was not a requirement. without him I would not have had such a positive outcome. Would not hesitate to recommend or higher Mr Ritigliano for his services. You will have great representation.

Great Service
Hired to create wills for myself and my wife. Joe was easy to work with and very convenient to handle all via email. He offered help to answer questions if I had any after he sent the completed wills, was transparent with expectations and answered all my questions during the process. Would use again!

Best lawyer in Hudson county!
Reached Mr. Rutigliano after being referred to him by a Hyatt Legal Plan representative. I received a moving violation that carries points; Mr. Rutigliano was able to reduced such ticket to a minor violation without points. I didn't even have to pay surcharges to the state. Mr. Rutigliano was very professional and explained my options very clearly. The day of court he was punctual and gave me a sense of trust and confidence when talking to the judge. Clearly I made the right decision when I hired Mr. Rutigliano as my attorney.

Excellent Attorney!
I obtained Attorney Rutigliano for a driving while suspended ticket I got, and then received another one in the process. We met in court to fight the first one, and I wasn't ready to agree to the terms of the prosecutor, because I felt like I obtained the ticket due to court error. We went back a second time and were able to agree to the terms. He made me feel very comfortable with his knowledge, and were able to reach an agreement the second time around. I felt like he fought for me. I had the same ticket in a different area, and the outcome was not as good. I highly recommend Attorney Rutigliano! A+ service!!
