Joseph S. Neterval

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.

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.

Mr. Neterval was amazing in helping with my custody case! He told me the truth on where I went wrong and told me how to fix it. In doing so he helped me keep my kids from being in an unhealthy environment. He was affordable and quick to respond whenever I had any fear or questions. He was reliable an...d really had me and my children’s best interest in mind. I highly recommend him

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."
