Joseph A. Condo

I am always worried about biased lawyer reviews. When one wins, I think of course he/she would say great thing about his/her lawyer. In my case, I lost the primary physical child custody and I was upset and blamed everyone, including Joe (my lawyer). Later on, I reviewed the court transcripts and... realized that Joe did his best to protect me and the interests of my children. It was me who misunderstood questions and answered the wrong questions, etc. during the hearing that significantly contributed to my losing the primary physical custody of the children. (English is not my first language). Divorce is hard. I am sad that I lose the physical custody of the children. But, I thanked Joe for doing his best that any lawyer can do to protect me, and truly look out for the best interests of my children.

He has grandpa style charm but a cranky bedside manner. His follow up is cryptic and leaves you in the dark. He is initially there for you but as soon as you pay the retainer he will nickle and dime you to death. He advised he will handle the issue but in court wasn't prepared, had limited knowle...dge and acted like he was more interested in agreeing to anything and would rather be on vacation.

Joe Condo gets an A+ review for his services. He was always available and responsive. His ideas were creative and he had a firm grasp of the situation. There is no doubt he attempted to keep billed hours to a minimum. While his hourly rates were high there were numerous times he stopped meetings to s...top running the clock. His basic tenant was "don't waste time and money until we need to". I firmly believe he could have billed me significantly more hours had his goal been billable hours. He did not waste time or resources. I found him to be professional, personal, ethical, and not vindictive towards the other party. His strategy was always to minimize the personal attacks and work a fair, viable settlement. However, I have no doubt he would have been effective had things gotten tough. I would say he is both"book smart" and "street smart" and very practical in his approach. He is a family man and recognizes the tragedy of divorce. He was always focused on what was best for the kids and the overall family unit while remaining my advocate. I would recommend him to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

After having a lawyer for six months who would not return my phone calls, even though I only called her two times, I decided I needed to find someone else who would be more responsive. Joe Condo is the best. He always returned calls/emails right away, and I could tell he was really looking out fo...r me in every aspect of my divorce. We mediated my divorce rather than going to court, which saved a lot of money, time and stress, and I was very pleased with the outcome -- thanks to Joe. I left very pleased with my settlement and I really don't think I would have fared nearly as well with my original attorney. I would highly recommend Joe Condo.
