Excellent Family Law Lawyer

I hired John for various services throughout the years because I trust his experience and knowledge in family law. More than anything he is a trustworthy individual who has advocated for my interests with unwavering determination. John is willing to put in the time and ask the tough questions to dev...elop an effective plan for the case. He’s done excellent work in a timely manner. I can’t recommend him enough, his competence has provided reassurance during uncertain times.

Highly Recommended Lawyer

John Pittarelli was referred to me by a friend who was a previous client. It was the best decision I made for my son and I. John truly puts the time to understand the case and find ways to help his clients. I initially obtained John while living out of state where I was already on going a time sharin...g case with another attorney. I decided to go with John and with his help, I was able to obtain custody of my son. As a father working in investment banking, I was very nervous regarding time sharing. John made my dream a reality but always ensured the child’s best interest came first. One of his major strengths is his honesty, and fairness to both parties. John truly cares about what is in the best interest of the child (in my case, regarding my son). He is an amazing attorney and is very quick witted and I cannot express how grateful I am for all the work that he has put into my case so that my son and I can be together once again. I highly recommend John to be your lawyer and would be more than happy to speak/connect with anyone about my experience and why you should choose him.

Team work at it's best

I first hired John to help with my divorce in 2012. Honestly did not think I would need him again. Fast-forward to 2020 and I found myself in a custody battle for my son. John has been the level head needed when I was too frustrated with my ex to see straight. He fights for what is right, which is no...t always what is easy. Win or lose, he felt every judgement just as much as I did. He coached me along the way and I am more knowledgeable now then I was at the beginning. We had mediation back in October, which I thought would be the end of our relationship, and he would just move onto other clients. However, he still calls to check up on us and wants to see how the child is doing. He seems to care more for my child than his biological father does, which makes trusting him with decisions so much easier. John truly wants what is best for the child and will fight for that.

Police Officer

John Pittarelli came highly recommended by a friend who knew I needed an excellent attorney, John was originally hired to represent a family member in a child custody case in which he prevailed. As a result of this child custody case John Pittarelli has represented me for approximately ten years ...where the non-custodial parent continues to take me to court. Mr. Pittarelli has definitely withstood the test of time. He has fought this battle successfully for my family the entire time and continues to do so. The most amazing thing about John is that I can call and leave a message/email anytime and I am guaranteed to get a response from him the following day without fail. I found John to be very level headed, sincere and he genuinely cares about his clients and their well being. His knowledge of the judicial system , his respect for the courts and its officers are tremendous assets that Mr. Pittarelli possesses. I would recommend John without hesitation for any matters regarding Family Law.

Excellent family law attorney that cares about his clients and the outcomes the entire family will ultimately have to live with!

I engaged John as my family law attorney several years ago. My case had multiple levels and a soon to be "ex" that wanted pain and blood. John counselled my fears and covered my shortcomings. He coached me through my several hearings and the litany of motions. One of the greatest attributes that ...I came to realized was that John remembered minor details of my case. At first, I figured he was "just acting as if he cared" but I soon realized that he actually cared and that the details of my living nightmare was important enough for him to commit them to memory. I have concluded that John - really cares about, not only me, but the entire family. John is a good man and an excellent attorney.
