ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!

Joel is a excellent lawyer and he is very knowledgeable about the law. We used him for our custody case and criminal case. Joel has always worked with us thought financially difficult times. Joel appeared at our hearings on time and keep us informed about everything! Any problems or questions we ha...d, he was quick to help us out by reseaching them and getting back to us quickly. I would recommend Joel Peppetti to anybody, friends, family and acquaintances because he did an excellent job on our cases. Joel will be our lawyer for the rest of our lives.

"I wholeheartedly endorse Joel Peppetti. He is one of the finest practioners in the entire State. Joel has a reputation for being fierce and aggressive in the courtroom yet compassionate and supportive of his clients outside the courthouse. If you or a loved one are arrested in Altoona, you are truly missing out if you don't consult with him and utilize his talents."

"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."

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.
