Review Joseph DiPiazza

Excellent attorney

Posted by

Joseph not only dedicated countless hours during my divorce, he also listened and was always patient and kind. He always responded to my emails and calls in a timely fashion, and never left me "hanging". He made me feel like I was his only client and I never felt brushed off. He is very knowledgeable and I always felt confident he would represent me to the best of his abilities.

Excellent Attorney!!!
