I recently went through a devastating period in my life where I was charged with 2 felony charges and a misdemeanor related to my business. I turned to a friend who is a well respected prosecuting attorney and asked who the best defense attorney is in the area...without hesitation she said Joel Pepp...etti. The prosecuting attorney said that he was the most prepared, the most knowledgeable, and will research the facts of your case. I immediately made the call to Mr. Peppetti's office and I am so grateful that I did. I appreciated Joel's professionalism throughout my case. He was very patient in letting me explain the circumstances of my case. He was very straight forward, he never over promised, didn't "sugar coat" anything. I was concerned with the legal fees I was going to incur, but Joel was very honest with his fees. He explained how the fees would be assessed, and there were no hidden charges. Even after paying my legal fees to his office, I needed additional appointments to discuss my case. Joel met with me without charging me additional fees. The best news of all is that, through his legal expertise, I reached an agreement with the Commonwealth of PA to dismiss my felony charges, and plead "no contest" to the one misdemeanor. Even though this event was horrible and turned my life upside down, I will always be forever grateful to Attorney Joel Peppetti and his staff!

We highly recommend Joel to anyone seeking legal representation. Upon learning that our son, who was a freshman at PSU Altoona, had been arrested and charged with drug offenses we were devastated. Not being from Altoona and having never had the need to retain an attorney we were completely lost as ...to how to protect our son. Through a series of references we were introduced to Joel. He immediately took our case, calmed our fears and gave us hope for a positive outcome. Joel was true to his word. Our son has returned to college full-time while working part-time. We were amazed at the care and attention Joel paid to us. He was responsive, sensitive to our fears, articulated every step of the process & his approach and coached us. We truly felt that Joel had our best interest at heart.

Joel represented my son and he was found not guilty by Intervention in Lieu of Conviction. Joel will be hired for the expungement of his criminal charges. He did a terrific job with the case and was always available to talk and explain the process. Also, he maintains a good relationship with local ju...dges, which is important. I highly recommend Joel!

Joel Peppetti is in my opinion, one of the best if not the best lawyer Altoona has to offer. His communication once you hire him is second to none. He always keeps you informed - good and bad- every step of the way. Joel is respected by the DA, Judges, and his peers. I felt confident every time I was... with him during legal procedures. Joel has a "NO LOSE" attitude and this means a lot when going through a difficult time/case. If you want a lawyer you can TRUST, will do everything and anything to help you win your case, and will stand by you and fight until the end, Joel Peppetti is the lawyer for you. THANK YOU JOEL for everything you did for me during my case, you have earned my trust and admiration. You will be the only lawyer I ever use, the rest of my life.

Joel represented my daughter in a retail theft case and she was found not guilty. Joel was also hired for the expungement of the criminal charge. He did a terrific job with the case and was always available to talk. Also, he maintains a good relationship with local judges, which is important. I highl...y recommend Joel!
