      Review Joseph Somma

      Great experience

      Posted by

      Mr. Somma helped me with an issue with a rental property. The tenant was forced to pay back rent and was evicted from the property. I would recommend Mr. Somma to anyone with this kind of legal need.

      Great guy to have on your side!!!!

      Posted by

      Was given Joe’s information from a very close friend of mine that has known Joe for over 25 plus years. I called Joe and discussed my issues with him and hired him on the spot. Joe came thru with what he said he would do and got our problems taken care of within the time frame I had anticipated. My wife and I are excited about the results and now have an attorney as a friend (which is not a bad thing to have) just in case!!! Trust me when I tell you you will NOT find an attorney that will fight for you the way Joe did for us!! Rick S.

      Helpful & Responsive Assisting in Sale of Property

      Posted by

      I was the trustee of a relative’s estate. Joseph Somma assisted me in the sale of a home held in this trust. I had never bypassed a realtor before but Mr. Somma was very helpful & always responded quickly to the many questions I had. Thanks to Mr. Somma, everything worked out extremely well & was a pretty simple process. I would definitely recommend him.

      Delivered results!!!

      Posted by

      I just wanted to express my gratitude for the child custody case that Joe managed for me. As a father, I went in thinking that the “decks” where already stacked against me, I would loose custody of my girls but that was not the case. From the start, Joe was engaged, challenging every aspect of my ex wife’s position. Then out of no were Joe hit them with a case of our own and the results changed. We ended up settling out of court with all my rights and full custody of my girls. Well done Joe, I know I wouldn’t have achieved this victory without you at the helm. Thank you.

      So happy with this lawyer!!

      Posted by

      I hired Mr. Somma after meeting with several attorneys. My issue was complex. I was selling my family-owned medical supply distribution business to a competitor. The buyer used an attorney at one of the big firm guys at God knows what hourly rate. Mr. Somma’s hourly rate was not low but worth every red cent. I am. 72 years old and retiring. I have been in business a long time and used several attorneys over my long career. Mr. Somma handled my stock retirement and drafted the asset purchase sale agreement and handled all the negotiations with precision and deft ability. For being a relatively young man, he is wise beyond his years and brought more value to my transaction than he costed me in dollars. Mr. Somma is a true stalwart attorney, and I would and will recommend him to anyone needing a true gentleman of an attorney.

      Solid legal professional

      Posted by

      Joe’s legal knowledge was instrumental in the successful outcome of our case. His plain spoken, and sometimes brutal honesty, was very helpful during the seemingly long process. In the end, he delivered as we expected he would. If you want someone to sugarcoat things then this is not your guy!
