Excellent Attorney

I hired Joe to write a prenuptial agreement before my marriage. Joe was very knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to work with during this process. I interviewed several attorneys and Joe's experience, business acumen and affability were a synergistic fit with my legal needs. I highly recommend Joe... for your legal situation.

Review for Joe Costello

I was very pleased to work with Mr. Costello. As soon as i walked into the office i was very confortable. He was very nice and so was his secretary. He made me feel very at eased. He was always ahead of the game. He was great and i will recommend him to anyone looking for a family lawyer

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

100% Recommended

I feel very blessed to have had Joe as my attorney. I initially began my child custody case with a separate lawyer who, after a few months, felt that Joe would be a better fit for my situation. I couldn’t be any happier that this is how things panned out. I had an extremely tedious and emotionally dr...aining year that involved child custody, gaining a restraining order against my ex, child support and mediation… Joe always found a way to put my mind at ease and always made me feel supported in a situation that I felt beyond lost in. He is extremely knowledgeable in all that he does; I never once felt that he was ever unsure of the next step to take in getting me everything I hoped for in winning this case. Joe isn’t your typical lawyer. He truly makes you feel comforted during one of the most stressful and upsetting times in your life and is ALWAYS honest and upfront with what he expects so that you are never left feeling surprised or caught off guard with any outcome. He is truly a master of his trade on all levels and I am so grateful mine and my daughters’ future was handled by him. I would recommend Joe to any and every one.
