Joseph Alexander Paletta

I found Mr. Paletta after being falsely accused of neglect! My husband and I met with Mr Paletta in his office and was instantly put at ease! He knows the PA Board of Nursing laws! He sensed my stress and frustration and assured and reassured everything would be fine. He was right! I would highly rec...ommend him without reservation! I can honestly say Mr. Paletta went above and beyond for me!

I recently retained Mr. Paletta as my personal defense attorney for felony level charges against me while I was employed as a registered nurse. Mr. Paletta came to me very highly recommended by my peers and other nurses who had or were experiencing similar career threatening allegations. Mr. Pal...etta was extremely knowledgable about the PA state nursing board, which is a very complex unfamiliar area. Mr. Paletta was able to explain everything to me and he walked me through each and every step of the way. Through my experiences with him, it was and is clear that he is the consummate defense attorney who is knowledgeable and well experienced in health care related law. He was diligent in exploring and understanding every aspect of my case and was unrelenting in taking every possible avenue to ensure the best possible outcome for my case. His fees were very reasonable and in my own case, I believe I underpaid him for his expertise, time, and effort that he spent in defending me. As a result of Mr. Paletta’s knowledge and skills, I have been truly reborn as a person and professional after a long and very difficult journey through the “system”. I am indebted to him for saving my life! I could not be happier with the outcome to my case-he took care of everything for me. He was able to answer all my questions and he was always available by phone or email if I needed to reach him. I absolutely recommend Mr. Paletta and If it wasn't for him I would have lost my nursing license.

I made a stupid decision one night, and found myself facing a first DUI conviction. I was terrified and overwhelmed with stress. A DUI on its own is life changing, but when you also are a nurse, it can also be career-ending. I read through so many attorney reviews, trying to find one that would be ab...le to represent me for both portions of my case. I found Attorney Paletta and called him immediately. We talked over the phone, and he tried to calm my nerves (not an easy task). We made arrangements to meet at his office downtown. After walking in and meeting him, the first thing he said to me was, "you are going to be okay". I left that day feeling confident that I hired the right attorney to represent me. Joe is incredibly professional and personable. He knows the law, both the criminal DUI portion and the nursing portion. He is well-known and respected around the courthouse and legal community. He helped to expedite my hearing dates, as time was of the essence with my nursing license renewal approaching. I could not have achieved the outcome I did without him. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone facing a DUI, or any legal matter with the board of nursing.

Attorney Paletta helped me through one of the most difficult experiences when I received a DUI. He was knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do and who to contact, especially in regards to my state licensure that I hold. He responded promptly to all of my calls and emails and was always readily avai...lable when I had questions or worries. He provided support, reassurance, and above stellar counsel through the entire ordeal. I would recommend Attorney Paletta to anyone.

I am not one for writing reviews, but I felt that the service I receive deserved to be acknowledged. I am a registered nurse who was employed for over 3 years at the same facility. One day I’m employed at a job a loved, the next day my license was suspended. I had a difficult time in my life in 200...2, I got into some trouble which resulted in a misdemeanor possession charge. I did not tell the nursing board and on June 9th 2015 I received a notification that my license was suspended because of the incident in 2002. I was devastated. I called the lawyer who represented me at that time and he made some calls and suggested that I talk to attorney Paletta because he was told that attorney Paletta was the best lawyer to negotiate with the nursing board. I was looking at a 3 year to an indefinite suspension and attorney Paletta was relentless and I ended up with a one year suspension and probation with no restrictions on my license. Thinking of what could have been I am very grateful for attorney Paletta’s help and skillful negotiation. I am now employed at a reputable hospital and starting over without anything behind me to worry about.
