He’s Awesome

After finding out today my son case was going to a grand Jury...I was pretty upset. I called his attorney Joe and he explained to me everything we needed to know about his next steps. He made me feel confident that everything would turn out just fine. I’m truly thankful that I was led to choose him a...s our attorney. If you have any legal problems please consider him. You won’t be disappointed!

Top Notch Professional

Joe was knownledgable and understanding during my legal process. He returned calls promptly and answered all my questions. Joe truly exceeded all my expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Joe Compitello to my family and friends for their legal needs.

Great Lawyer

As a result of a car accident, I was charged with a DWI with a BAC over double the legal limit. I contacted Joe and he met me the next day, immediately putting my mind at ease. He was able to get my breathalyzer reading thrown out and I only received the minimum suspension and fines, and all of my ...other tickets were dropped. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family. Great job!

I've hired him for 2 separate cases. One for a municipal court complaint and the second was for a case with the prosecutors office. Joe and his staff are always on point. Answer all questions. And def more then pleased with the outcome. I would recommend him without any hesitation !

Professional and courteous

I retained Joseph to defend me September 2016 on a civil matter. He was able to get an adjournment when the court schedule conflicted with my schedule, and a dismissal of the complaint against me. Highly recommend is services.

"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.

He is a fierce advocate for his clients and any client would be lucky to have him on their side."

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."
