Great attorney

Talk about patience and knowledge, Joe has them! He was great through out my long dragging divorce process. Always there when I needed an answer or advice. Highly recommended!!!

The best

I hired Mr. Costello 60 days ago for my divorce process and I am done! He is kind and understanding. He was always available to answer my question and address my concerns. Highly recommend.

He gets it done!

My divorce process started in Summer of last year with a different attorney. I felt as if this attorney dragged my case on and on and belittled my feelings. My desire and need to protect my children and myself increased and I was compelled to hire legal counsel that was a better fit for what I needed... and this is where Mr. Joseph Costello stepped in. He understood the urgency to close this chapter of my life. He pushed my case forward and closed it all around one month of hiring him. He took all my concerns into account and validated all the negative and positive feelings that comes with Divorce. His advise were practical and useful. The outcome of my divorce was better than I had anticipated all thanks to him. I would recommend him a million time over.

Best Family Lawyer

Like many I was faced with a very difficult decision and was very nervous about getting divorced. The moment I walked into Joe office and started talking to him I felt at ease and he explained the whole process and assured me everything was going to be ok. He is easy to talk to and really cares abou...t his clients. I have heard horror stories about other lawyers and I feel at ease that I never had that with Joe. He is a must hire and you will not be disappointed

you could not find a better attorney!

I have had the privilege of having Joe as my attorney during extremely trying situations at various stages of my life - divorce, child custody, child support etc. He has been exemplary and efficient, very knowledgeable with a comforting dose of human kindness and understanding. He becomes your friend... in need and your shield when you are in front of a judge feeling intimidated and somewhat like a lamb in a lion's cage! His manner in court is nothing short of amazing. He knows exactly when to be gentle, when to be tough and how to navigate the intricacies of the law. He is a master at his craft and I thank my lucky stars he is on my side!
