Fabulous!

I hired Joe to help me with a custody case and he fought hard for my rights! I appreciate everything he did for me and will definitely hire him again!

Amazing Experience

Joe was our real estate attorney for the sale of our condo and buy of our house. We were lucky to be referred to him. Not only does he offer great prices but he truly goes above and beyond to advocate for his clients. Our buy and sell was a complete mess until Joe got involved to make sure we weren’t... taken advantage of. He an honest, dependable and really knows what he’s doing. Thank you Joe!

GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND LAWYER

I originally hired Joe to help me out in a unique situation for a home that I was trying to close on. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have eventually closed on a different home. It was all due to Joe listening to my sense of urgency and having passion for the law and his clients that I wouldn't have... been able to have purchased the home I am in now. He's very honest, gives his opinion and when he says he's going to do something he does. I worked with a previous lawyer before him and there is no comparison to the level of compassion he has, especially when making the biggest purchase of your life, a home. He has a strong ethic and I would definitely use him in the future. A lawyer should care about their clients and be honest and go above and beyond, well that's just a bonus. I can't thank him enough for his hard work and dedication. Many thanks and grateful!

Client

Joe is simply amazing. I used him on a post divorce/custody case that was over 12 years old. Joe was extremely professional in all ways. He doesn’t mislead you or give you false hope, he was very real in what to expect. Joe also was extremely empathetic on the situation I was in and that made my pers...onal experience with him great. It felt like having a friend fight for you rather than just an attorney. I would highly recommend Joe and I have recommended him to a number of my friends and they felt the same. He also won their cases and well as mine. He doesn’t give up and fights for his clients. He has the clients best interest in mind. Gives amazing advice and never steers you in a bad direction only the right one. Hire Joe he will definitely do right by you!

Highly effective

I called Joe Compitello for help with a business related issue. Joe guided me through each step taking the time to explain the step, the possible outcome and expected outcomes for each scenario. Once the issue was positively resolved we put Joe on retainer and have never regretted it. He's profess...ional, available, and diligent in his work. Am very happy with the service received to date.

"I have had the pleasure of working for Mr. Compitello for almost a year and it has been an honor to observe his tactics and gain knowledge from him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Joe is an amazingly effective attorney. Unlike some lawyers, he does not waste anyone's time - or his clients' money - involving himself with minutia that is ultimately irrelevant to the outcome of a case. He simply gets the job done. Joe is well-versed in the criminal and family arenas (especially domestic violence matters). Given this vast knowledge, Joe is able to focus in like a laser on what exactly needs to be accomplished and/or proven in order to achieve his - and his clients' - desired results. Joe is naturally gifted in the Courtroom, managing to persuasively argue his points absent any air of pompousness, a trait which endears him to his clients and his audience. I highly recommend Joe Compitello."
