"It gives me great pleasure to endorse attorney Joel Peppetti. He is a top-notch trial attorney who primarily focuses on criminal defense and family law matters. While his office is in Blair County, he handles matters throughout Central Pennsylvania. I have referred clients to him in the past and will continue to do so based on his zealous representation and protection of individuals' constitutional rights. If you or a loved one need a criminal defense attorney in Blair, Cambria, Bedford, Huntingdon or other Central Pennsylvania counties, your first call should be to Mr. Peppetti. You will not be disappointed."

"Joel is a great criminal defense lawyer. I feel confident in Joel's abilities and often refer cases to him. A Penn State parent once asked me if I would trust Joel enough to represent my own children, and without hesitation, the answer is yes. Joel knows the law and knows the system in the counties in which he practices. I highly recommend that anyone charged with a criminal offense in Blair, Cambria, or Bedford county should call Joel."
