Simply put, I cannot recommend Joanna enough if you are facing a divorce. You want to hire her, now. I was married 19 years and during the final 13 years had been a stay at home dad, working freelance [having the lesser of two incomes]. The divorce was difficult and contested. I was truthfully ...at the end of my rope when I first met with Joanna – I was only taking the consultation so I could learn for myself what I was entitled to by law, based on the facts of the marriage – my existing attorney had never explained that to me [as it turned out because she did not know; she never did any preparation or planning; her ‘plan’ was merely to react to whatever the opposing attorney demanded] – and mediation was rapidly approaching. I entered the consultation in an aggressive mood feeling it was myself against the State and no one was helping me. At that first meeting Joanna was able to – through her professionalism and thoroughness – shift me from ‘tell me what I am entitled to demand’ to talking through the entire situation and finding key points that she could use to turn things to my favor. I had already met with two other attorneys who took the stance of ‘you’re the man, you get the short end of the stick, accept it’. Joanna checked into several online databases during our meeting, discovered that the case had been completely mishandled by my previous attorney – papers had not been filed, were overdue [by weeks!], or had been filed with information I was unaware of. [the 2 other attorneys gladly took my $100 consultation fee but neither did these checks] She knew full well that this was going to be a major challenge - the case was in a shambles, the time frame was well short of her usual minimum time to prepare a case, she has other cases that demand her time, etc. And because of that my outcome looked bleak. I think it is important to note at this point that Joanna is a person first and an attorney second. By that I mean her evaluation of the case told her to not take the case, but that same evaluation - weighed against what I needed and what my child needed – made her realize that without her on my side the outcome would be very unfair, to the point of unjust – thanks to a sloppy attorney. It wasn’t her job to take my case, it was her moral decision. She agreed to take on the case. And for that I will be eternally grateful. Joanna was able to formulate a plan, given almost no time, and having to deal with all the errors and omissions of my prior attorney. For the first time since I had been attacked by my wife and unjustly forced out of my own home – and away from my child – which was the biggest nightmare of my life – I finally felt a sense of ease that there was still sanity in the world and that the truth may finally have a part in this scenario. If you are facing a divorce I will tell you this - I only wish I had hired her the moment this all began; this scarring and traumatizing span of my life would have been shortened by 50+ days. Throughout the process I never felt Joanna was being pushy or that her number one concern was her reputation or that of her firm – her top priority was getting the best outcome possible for me and my child. At the mediation, I was extremely encouraged to see that Joanna didn’t just have a plan A and B, she had plans A through F – which was a good thing when the other side initiated with an impossible demand; Joanna was shocked but not the least bit ruffled or unsettled, she simply moved on down her list and fought. In the end the final outcome was much better than anything I was going to be handed had I kept my first attorney. And it was all in all very favorable given that divorce in Florida is lopsided against the man.

Attorney Caccioppoli is an incredible attorney and I highly recommend her. From the very first time my husband and I sat down with her, I knew she was the attorney we needed to hire. She is confident, knowledge, personable and compassionate. My husband is going through two separate cases, one invo...lving Grandparent rights and the other is a custody case. Both of these cases have been extremely stressful and trying at times, but Joanna has been there for us every step of the way. She is extremely prompt when returning emails or phone calls, is extraordinarily efficient, and makes sure her clients fully understand how the case is progressing and what the next steps are. Both cases began in August 2015 and we have come to an agreement in one case; getting the exact result we had been hoping for due to her persistence and knowledge. The other case will hopefully close at the beginning of 2016 and we are optimistic that the outcome of that case will be favorable as well. She is honest and has never led us to expect any type of outcome that she doesn’t think is actually attainable. She is forthright, extremely perceptive and very passionate about the work she does. We could not have retained a better attorney. My husband and I already have plans to retain her services for other legal matters. I cannot recommend Joanna enough. Joanna and her assistant, Angie, are the reason that Kramer Law Firm’s motto “One firm for life” holds true.

Before I came to Kramer Law, I had hired 2 lawyers for custody of my children from 2013-2014. Both basically took my money and barely did anything for me and a court date was never even set. I came to Kramer Law in Sept 2015 with the hope that my case would finally be handled. Between Sept-December, ...my custody case was completed in full and I was awarded full custody of my children. Joanna, her assistant and Kramer Law were amazing!! They started working my case from the moment I retained them, had each task completed fast and in a very professional manner. My case was special and time was of the essence. It was so wonderful to finally find a lawyer that knew how important this case was for me and my children. Joanna and her team were available via phone, email and in person every single time I asked to speak/meet with her. Everything that I asked for was completed. Thanks to her I received custody of my children before Christmas and our entire family is so very grateful for this! I now see how a client should be treated as my previous lawyers do not compare to Joanna at all! After 3 long years of waiting, Joanna completed my case in just a few months and now my children are safe with me. We cannot thank her enough!! Thank you Joanna, Angie and Kramer Law.

I hired Joanna after a long drawn out battle of a divorce. Once I finished my divorce I went to Joanna with the intention of getting my child to my planned home with my new husband. Fast forward just a few months and we are now married and happily residing in Hawaii. Throughout the process Joanna was... always honest, to the point, and efficient in what she expected of the courts and how my situation looked. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can get results and be forthright in what you can expect.
