Satisfied client

Joe Mucia was appointed as my attorney By Essex County NY family court. I had a complex case and Joe handled every question and concern that I had. He answered every email and phone call that I sent promptly. I had a lot of anxiety around my case and just knowing that Joe Mucia was on my side fightin...g for me helped ease all of my anxieties. I really couldn't have asked for a better court appointed lawyer! Thank you Joe

Not a good custody lawyer

I was assigned Mr. MUCIA as a public defender and he never returns my calls in my custody case. I would not remand him to anyone.

Happy Father

Hired Joe to handle my divorce. I was emotionally charged. Joe put my mind at ease after our first meeting. The divorce was uncontested and Joe was able to come up with equitable settlement for the custody of my children that was fair to myself and my ex spouse. Joe is very nice and was able to answe...r numerous questions and also drafted and settlement that made life post divorce very manageable for both parties. In addition to a tremendous job the speed in which he and his team got the whole process done was nothing short of amazing. I recommend him highly and listen to what he says he will lead down the correct path.

Poor Divorce Attorney

Mr. Mucia was hired as a divorce attorney. He never show up for court. He agreed with everything spouse's attorney wanted. Not a good divorce attorney.
