Horrible Attorney

I had a deeply frustrating and disheartening experience working with this attorney. From the beginning, I felt unheard and disrespected. He consistently overtalked me, dismissed my concerns, and spoke in a belittling tone—making what was already a stressful situation even more overwhelming. In mat...ters involving child custody, it’s essential to have an attorney who is both compassionate and committed to advocating in the best interest of their client and the child. Unfortunately, I did not feel that was the case here. His behavior, both in one-on-one meetings and during sessions with other attorneys, was unprofessional and at times, outright rude. I left every interaction feeling more stressed and unsupported. Despite the significant time and money I invested, I was repeatedly met with disrespect and a lack of genuine care. This experience was not only disappointing but at times humiliating. I strongly urge others to think twice before hiring this attorney—especially for sensitive matters involving children. I would never recommend his services based on my experience.

Working with Attorney Joe Neterval

It has been a pleasure working with Attorney Neterval, he has always been kind and considerate to my needs with my divorce procedure. He has made sure that I have understood every step that we needed to take. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney! Debbie S.

He saved me

I am so glad I found Attorney Neterval he helped me and my daughter so much in my custody battle. I loved his honesty and the fact that he doesn’t set you up for failure. He helped me in times that I thought would never end he is consistent, keeps in great contact with you and always responds back ...to you in a timely matter.I am now stress free because of his hard work and dedication that he puts in. I could not be more thankful for finding him.

Didn't not properly represent me . Very challenging and overbearing

I was debating if I wanted to do this survey considering how awful this man was . Very unprofessional rude demanding challenging money hungry and he didn't properly and fully represent me .Over Charging me . Taking advantage of vulnerable people . I probably would be better off representing myself . ...On all that I had to go through than I had him to add to on top of it all . HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ..
