Joseph DiPietro saved my relationship with my minor child who had been abducted by his second parent from Europe to the USA.

Joseph DiPietro saved my relationship with my minor child who had been abducted by his second parent from Europe to the USA. He carried out all the steps in a flawless, professional and sensitive manner. When I found out that there had been a parental abduction, I was shocked. However, my concerns g...radually disappeared when I found out with what commitment Joseph DiPietro had taken up my case and how persistently he was overcoming one obstacle after another. Although my case was complex and complicated, I soon returned home with my child. Thanks Joe for your professional work and sensitive approach. Former client.

Extraordinary Lawyer

I had the amazing luck of having found an extraordinary lawyer at one of the most difficult times of my life, and I wanted to share my experience (from 2011) to hopefully help others who seek legal guidance. Joseph DiPietro is a remarkable lawyer. His well-deserved confidence is truly empowering. ...Starting from our first conversation, I knew I was in good hands and that feeling was priceless. When I met Mr. DiPietro, I had completely lost hope, did not know what to do next, and really needed someone I could trust and seek guidance from. During our first conversation with Mr. DiPietro, for the first time in a long time I found hope again, and finding hope gave me the strength I needed at that time of my life. He was very positive, professional, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. He gathered all the information he required from me without me even thinking about what I needed to convey to him. I was not good with details, and did not have any legal knowledge. Therefore, I needed to find someone I could depend on and trust completely. In addition, English is my second language, so I was particularly grateful for his patience, impeccable fact finding skills and communication abilities. Mr. DiPietro was also very responsive and prompt, responding to my emails and phone calls within a day at the latest. This in itself gave me so much peace and confidence, because I knew if and when I needed him I could reach him and seek his support. He always provided very professional legal counsel, always to the point and always with the attitude of positivity. The consistency in his services allowed me to gage my expectations and again created a peace of mind in such tough times. His ‘to-the-point’ and focused approach combined with his extraordinary legal knowledge brought a resolution to my case very fast. In addition to his legal knowledge, Mr. DiPietro was also very kind and generous. Finding a kind, generous and with a willingness to listen lawyer was truly wonderful, and I am extremely grateful to have found one. Mr. DiPietro changed my life. Because of him, I was able to move forward with my life. I was and I am able to create a future for myself because I had a peaceful resolution with the past. Knowing and working with Mr. DiPietro was a gift that I will forever be grateful for.

Stellar attorney who stives to assist service members with excellence.

"Mr. DiPietro and I met by chance or by design I’m not sure which really. I would like to draw particular attention to his eagerness and flexibility to work with a Soldier in the Military. He was very patient and understanding when working with a client on a budget. He was a true asset to me through ...my complicated divorce/protective order process. I will without a doubt recommend him to any Soldiers going through a struggle in their personal life where an Attorney needs to be involved. To you directly Mr. DiPietro, I cannot thank you enough for the hard work and dedication you put into the long road that was my individual situation. You made the process seem effortless though I know that wasn’t the case behind the scenes. Thank you again."
