Joey always returned my calls
I hired Mr. Spano to handle my child custody proceeding last month. It was a very stressful time in my life and I needed guidance. Mr. Spano was very thorough throughout the case and always returned my calls when I had questions. The family judge awarded me the majority of custody. I am very happy with Mr. Spano's representation.

Great professional representation
My experience with Joseph H. Spano, Jr. representing me through my divorce was exceptional. Mr. Spano went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions were answered, keep my mind at ease during such a stressful time, and kept me in the loop about everything taking place. Phone calls were always returned in a timely manner. I was well informed of the divorce process by Mr. Spano, which was very much appreciated as I have never been through a divorce before. I highly recommend Joseph H. Spano, Jr. as he was very considerate of my situation and was extremely professional. I am pleased to endorse Mr. Spano and would immediately return to him for representation again without hesitation should the situation arise.

Knowledgeable and professional
Mr. Spano was very professional and helpful. He kept in constant contact with me as opposed to an attorney that has about 10 clients. Price was very reasonable.

Withdrew on the day of trial. Filed motions without me agreeing to them. Very unprofessional and rude.
