Not CutOut For The Legal Profession

I hired Jeremiah to represent me for a post divorce issue. He allowed the opposing counsel to control the narrative and rule the courtroom. Jeremiah objected to “nothing.” It appears that he knows nothing about the law. The legal profession is definitely not for him.

BEST CHOICE!!

Having to go through a divorce and custody can be intimidating and very stressful. I hired a lawyer that was compassionate, thorough and very fair with cost. The beginning of my car to the end he was very informative and explained the legal process for me to understand because I don’t know law; as mo...st clients. I can’t understand how these other cases or reviews have him poor ratings because nobody wins every single time they go to court. When I explained my situation and what I wanted he advised me that it was unreasonable and that the courts won’t grant my opinion or wants. And by the time court arrived; he was exactly right in every process and advice he gave me. I am very confident that the agreement we came up with will prevent ANY future litigation for my kids. Which is what’s best. If you need counsel you can’t go wrong with Jeremiah. Excellent prices and representation!!

Disappointing

Recently hired this lawyer to handle my divorce and custody case. His work on my case was shoddy at best. He was completely intimidated by opposing counsel, repeatedly failed to address issues that could have been presented in my favor, had to be reminded of laws and regulations by myself, and failed... to file documentation that allowed me to be subject to further legal action. In court in front of the judge he came across as very unprepared and weak. Would not recommend hiring this lawyer to anyone for any reason.

Some attorneys just do their job, but some do their job well with care and understanding

I can't share this attorney's name with others enough. From the moment I first walked into his office, I felt that I was not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who understands the tolls divorce and custody battles take on someone. It's one thing to pay an attorney, and another to walk aw...ay still saying "he is worth it." At times, Jeremiah realistically explained the options to me with care and understanding. Helping me understand the differences between understanding what the law "will/won't" do verses my grief and loss. One of my first memories was very early on, while sitting in the courthouse, my first appearance, when a well respected attorney stopped by my way to say Hello to a family member supporting me. This attorney asked me who was representing me. When I told him, Jeremiah Chiappelli, he said to me, "young lady, you are in very good hands, Jeremiah is well respected in this court house." Two years of long agonizing battles, and technically kept on retainer, Jeremiah did the job EXTREMELY WELL, WITH CARE AND UNDERSTANDING. Too often attorney's are just about the money, and you are often treated like a paycheck. Not Jeremiah! Every time I had to call, and it was a lot, he treated me as his top priority. Isn't that what everyone is looking for in an attorney! That your attorney will actually care about your case, rather than his pockets. Don't second guess it for another minute after you read this, HIRE HIM!!! Jeremiah Chiappelli is a wink from God! You are in good hands.
