    I endorse Joanna because I have worked with Joanna many times and observed her in action dozens of other times in Court. Her knowledge of N.J. law and procedure are an enormous benefit to her clients. Just as important is her amiable personality and professional conduct that has earned her the respect of Judges and allows her to achieve the best possible results for her clients.

    Lawyer Sean J. Spinello

    Sean Spinello, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 5, 2014
    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    As a former prosecutor I was opposing counsel to Ms. Perilli on several matters in municipal court. Ms. Perilli is an outstanding attorney. Whether it be DWI/DUI, criminal, or traffic/speeding, she was always thoroughly prepared and a very tough adversary. I have great respect for Ms. Perilli and strongly endorse this lawyer.

    I have worked with Ms. Perilli on several municipal and juvenile delinquency matters and I have found her to be well prepared and a fierce advocate for her clients. I would not have a problem referring a conflcit case to her.
