Posted by Evanie | January 29, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Amazing personal injury lawyer

Joe was recommended by a friend after my car accident. He was attentive, listened to my concerns, and was with me every step of the way through the settlement process. He is a great communicator who was able to get the case settled out of court. I highly recommend him for any personal injury case!...

Injury attorney

I hired Joseph DePaola after suffering an injury that resulted in a broken ankle, unsure of the outcome or process he was very informative and understanding of the situation. Case lasted for roughly three years and throughout that time he made sure to keep me updated with current case status and inv...olved every step of the way. Overall experience was great and I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
