Joe Rutigliano-honest, hard-working attorney

Posted by

Joe has handled various legal work for me over the years, including but not limited to, home closings, landlord- tenant, and tax appeals. His advice has been dead on, and I am very satisfied with his professionalism and promptness. My closing and tax appeal were completely painless. After handing off all pertinent information, I just sat back and Joe handled everything. His guidance on my landlord/tenant situation has put my mind at ease, and helped the situation tremendously.

Extremely satisfied

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

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.

I highly recommend Joseph Rutigliano for all your Real Estate legal needs.
