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.
