An Incredible Attorney Who Truly Cares

I honestly cannot thank Attorney John Pittarelli enough for everything he has done for me and my daughter. I am beyond grateful to have Attorney John Pittarelli as my attorney during one of the most difficult and emotional chapters of my life. I originally came to know about Attorney John Pittarel...li through an attorney who was highly trusted by our church community. That attorney had an amazing reputation and was someone our community trusted deeply. Sadly, that attorney retired. When I needed legal help, his secretary recommended Attorney John Pittarelli to me and told me that he had been his right-hand person and someone she trusted to continue his excellent work and dedication. I will always be grateful that she led me to Attorney John Pittarelli. From my very first consultation, Attorney John Pittarelli made me feel that I was in good hands. He took the time to listen to me, understand my circumstances, and truly understand what I was going through as a mother. Attorney John Pittarelli has been my lawyer throughout my divorce, and he continues to fight for my rights as a mother and for my future custody rights regarding my daughter. Going through a divorce while fighting for your child can be incredibly frightening and overwhelming. There have been so many moments when I felt scared and didn’t know what the future would look like. Attorney John Pittarelli has always been there to guide me, support me, and give me strength when I needed it most. Attorney John Pittarelli has a way of making me feel calmer and reminding me that I am not alone in this fight. What I appreciate most about Attorney John Pittarelli is that he truly understands that this is not just about a legal case—it is about my daughter. He consistently prioritizes my daughter’s safety, her well-being, and what is in her best interest. As a mother, that means more to me than I could ever explain. I am so thankful for Attorney John Pittarelli’s dedication, patience, knowledge, compassion, and commitment. Attorney John Pittarelli has worked incredibly hard for me and my daughter, and I am grateful for every conversation, every piece of advice, every effort, and every moment he has spent helping me through this difficult process. My divorce is part of my journey, but my fight for my full custody rights is still ongoing. I have not reached the outcome I am hoping and working toward yet, but I am incredibly thankful to have Attorney John Pittarelli beside me as we continue moving forward. Attorney John Pittarelli has given me hope when I felt hopeless and strength when I felt afraid. Attorney John Pittarelli, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for fighting for me. Thank you for standing up for my daughter. Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Thank you for always keeping my daughter’s safety and well-being at the center of your work. And thank you for helping me believe that I can get through this. I will never be able to fully express how grateful I am that I found Attorney John Pittarelli. I thank God that the trusted attorney from our church community and his secretary led me to Attorney John Pittarelli. I truly feel blessed to have Attorney John Pittarelli representing me. My journey is not over, but I know I am not walking through it alone. I am so thankful to have Attorney John Pittarelli fighting alongside me and helping me work toward the future I want for my daughter. Thank you, Attorney John Pittarelli, for everything. I will always be deeply grateful for you and for all that you have done for my daughter and me.

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.

Highly recommend

John Pittarelli was recommended to me by a friend. Best recommendation I’ve been given in 10 years! John is sharp in the courtroom, has high attention to detail — very attentive and knowledgeable. He was able to help me navigate through my court proceedings with ease and with understanding. John had ...an arsenal of information and resources as I moved through the process of my court proceedings which made my court process very easy and my transition as a result of my disposition was beyond satisfactory. If you’re looking for an attorney that knows how to get the job done, John Pittarelli is definitely the attorney for you. He’s highly respected and knowledgeable in his field and he has great rapport with his clients. Absolutely recommend!

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.
