Highly recommend Joe

Joe Napoli is the best! I was stuck in a 5 year divorce process when Joe was recommended to me by a friend. Joe was my third attorney and I had pretty much lost all hope that the case would be finalized. Not only did Joe finalize the case in the timeline we discussed, but he was wonderful to work wit...h and a breath of fresh air! He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and actually takes the time to explain the process. I was always kept informed and up to date on the case. He is professional and assertive to get the job done, and always kept my mind at ease. He was patient and kind with any questions or concerns I had. I am extremely grateful that he finalized my divorce, and I also was very pleased with the finalized settlement. My only wish is that I had found Joe at the beginning of my divorce process! I highly recommend him!

Thank you Joe!

I evaluated several child custody lawyers before a close friend referred me to Joe. I was distressed, anxious and scared about this whole ordeal. Joe listened to my story and clearly outlined the steps in the process all while making certain my needs were met along the way. He was reassuring, attenti...ve, very responsive, always available, knowledgeable and in the end amazingly effective. I am so glad I trusted your judgement Joe, I will always be eternally grateful for your help.

#TEAMJOE#BEERMANNLAW

From day 1, I was totally impressed by Joe's knowledge, confidence and ability to complete the task that was explained to him. His honesty and integrity were refreshing and vital in my decision to hire him and his team. He was very attentive to my every word and needs and wanted what was best and fai...r for all parties involved. He tentatively devised a plan and had my case filed by the end of the same week! Between him and his amazing team at Beermann Law, the plan began to come to fruition. The team is very diligent, accommodating and effective! Working alongside each other like a "well-oiled machine". I didn't have to be in contact constantly because I knew they were working on the case and would contact me when needed. This helped me to be less stressed and allowed me to move on with what I had to accomplish as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this team OVER AND OVER again!! Keep in mind my case was settled in a timely manner during the height of the pandemic! Joe and team, I will forever be grateful for the life changing work that was accomplished through all of you!!

Incredible Divorce Attorney

Friends of mine always say I got screwed by the courts when I got divorced because for a successful woman the courts are much less supportive. But I knew from the beginning I needed a strong lawyer who would advocate for my best interests and more importantly the best interests of my children. Joe fo...ught hard for what he knew was right and more importantly guided me through the process saving me thousands and thousands of dollars. He took every call and every text, days, nights or weekends. He let me decide when we backed down or pushed harder on something but always advised the best course of action. He stuck with me for almost 4 years (yes we have already been back to court since the divorce was final) and would help me again in a heartbeat. Joe makes his clients feel supported and in control. And when you are taking on a divorce both of those things are crucial to your sanity.

A+++ lawyer

After not so great communication and bad handling by my first lawyer, I find Mr. Napoli a fresh air and a lifesaver!!! I totally agree with couple other posts mentioning that he's not your everyday 9-5 lawyer. He has given me very insightful opinion on my case during consultation and on the same ...day, I sent over my docs and he's already reviewing it and communicating with me thru emails on the same night! My ex wants to change his visitation and child support. He sees the problem right away and explains the steps to take which makes the most sense. As a divorced mother with multiple young children, he saved me from doing the unnecessary paperwork pushed by my first lawyer. He's an expert in law and very honest about what's worth pursuing and what's not and possible timeline ahead. I appreciate Mr. Napoli's calm, clear, and gentle way of communication, a breath of fresh air from my first lawyer. I will definitely recommend Mr. Napoli to friends and family who need the help. Thank you!
