This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not interested in best outcome

I hired the Lupella agency after a car accident and I am extremely unsatisfied with the results of my case. He seemed like a great guy with all the right answer at the right time however under performed to do his job to the best of his ability in my opinion. I truly feel a public defender could have ...gotten the same results as spending $12,500 for representation. Mr. Lupella had absolutely no contact during the 13 month case. I had to keep up with case through court records. I strongly consider you to interview your attorney as they work for you. I made a huge mistake and my Lawyer did nothing to help rectify the situation. The only reason I am given 2 stars is because he had a great staff Jen and David, unfortunately he let me down don’t be the next one he disappoints!

Very hard worker, who knows his stuff and makes time for you!

The outcome was not exactly how I wanted it but nonetheless I told him 2 things that I had to absolutely above all else have done a certain way, and he delivered 100% on the agreement Mr lupella was the only lawyer who had time for me when I called almost 6pm central time and spoke with him and we... discussed all possible aspects of the case and I felt really comfortable talking to me Lupella. I cannot thank him and his team enough for all the hard work they put in to my case. Would definitely hire him again and recommend him
