Joseph Guilfoile Vaccaro

I am a neighborhood attorney who works to meet the needs of everyday people. Most of my practice is devoted to criminal law, but I also handle the tenant-side of landlord/tenant disputes, post-decree family law matters (i.e. child custody modifications), Harrassment Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection, and especially enjoy what my colleagues call "weird law," which is to say cases the likes of which they've never heard of before and which present a unique intellectual challenge under the law. I have successfully taken felonies, child custody disputes, and much more to trial.  Whenever possible I work on a flat-fee or contingency basis. Quite simply, I do not need to take food off your table to put it on mine and the goal of my practice is to make a living, not a killing. Please don't hesistate to contact me. I always offer a free consult. 

 Before becoming a lawyer, I worked as a researcher and editorial assistant at Harper's Magazine in New York City and for a rare book dealer in Maine.
