Joseph S. Neterval

This guy is horrible can’t get along with anyone very unprofessional. He does not know how to talk to people you would think he needs meds because of his behavior. I wish I would have represented myself this man is horrible. I would have had a better outcome and this price I paid him was unbelievable... just before court he told me I needed to give him more money after I already paid him $700. I was so upset. Either I should have represented myself or pay another $400 and I would have had a way better attorney. This man is nuts!

This is seriously the worst lawyer i have ever came across. He will literally argue with you & scream at you about YOUR situation as if he knows what happened. He’s rude, arrogant, & doesn’t even try to listen to you. It’s almost as if he’s not even trying to be on your side. I wish i would have seen... these reviews before paying the flat rate fee because i wouldn’t have hired him if i’d known he was this terrible. There’s a reason why he’s always available & works alone. Did the intake on Saturday and was not happy about what he had to say during the consultation on Monday. He will jump to conclusions and talk to you crazy instead of asking questions to try to understand your case. You are honestly better off representing yourself messing with him. I fired him literally the next day. Lost $150 sadly but i refuse to have him embarrass me in court and will be finding a better attorney. He doesn’t even deserve one star.

My husband & I ( mostly my husband ) worked with Joe for 10 months regarding a custody issue. Although Joe made us scratch our heads at times and he offended me a couple of times with his attitude towards me ( the wife of his client who didn't do anything wrong and who is paying him )... In the en...d, Joe hit a homerun for my husband and we got everything we requested. He was fairly prompt with communication via email and phone calls. Straight & to the point.

I am a struggling single mother. I was left by my boyfriend almost 5 months ago because I was having health complications and it affected me mentally, I was having a hard time coping. I set out to find a job so I could find a lawyer I could afford, as my ex has a lawyer, who is seemingly just out... to mess up someones life even if it's not what's good for the children involved. I found Joe through nonprofit legal services and I thought thank God. I noticed right away that he was short with you and arrogant. I didn't feel that he looked into my case, I felt that he drew conclusions of his own off assumptions. He said horrible things to me regarding my baby who I'm trying to get joint custody of. He told me "I should've had an abortion" and that "I shouldn't have had sex with a guy that was going to screw me over." How is a person to know what the future holds? Especially when your partner seems like they'll always have your back? I felt that Joe was not on my side and he spoke to me like I was scum. He told me there is no way I would win my case and he told me I shouldn't have had sex with my ex about 15 different times. I ended up firing him and will be hiring a real lawyer. Try any other means of hiring an attorney before you settle with this unprofessional, arrogant "attorney."
