Great knowledgeable Divorce Lawyer

Joseph knows the law and is able to give quick answers. He is very accessible and responds in a timely manner. He first tries to understand the nature of your case, what your desires are, and then he makes it happen. My case was handled professionally and it was over faster than anticipated. Great Jo...b!

Very Satisified

Because of the persistence, legal expertise, and genuine concern for my personal well being a very unpleasant divorce was successfully negotiated by Joseph Napoli II.

The best of the best!

Everyone deserves an attorney like Joe. I didn't think it was possible to find such a efficient, well educated and caring lawyer who could handle my ex's impulsive behavior, 10 minutes into our initial phone consultation and I knew he was the perfect choice for me and my children. Joe was very inform...ative, attentive and acted on my situation immediately. Always confident and positive but didn't hold back in the courtroom. This is exactly what I needed given my situation, so much had happened and was continuing to happen. I was starting this new life as a single mom with no car, who shared a bunk bed with her 2 small toddlers and I was terrified. I felt like a anxious and unorganized hot mess bound to annoy and confuse her own lawyer, but no, not Joe! He was always so quick to respond and never missed a beat! Joe went above and beyond any expectations I had for a divorce attorney, he is very personable and always had mine and my kid's best interest in mind. He made sure I understood everything and was very good at pointing out what was worth a fight and when to settle. I walked away with much more than I had expected and I'm very happy with the outcome, my ex on the other hand... not so much! Joe helped me through the most difficult time in my life and I will forever be grateful for his hard work and professionalism. I feel I should be getting a separate bill for the counseling and therapy sessions he also provided because that's the type of attorney he is, a grade A shark!

Very Professional

Mr. Napoli has a strong command over all issues family law related. I have worked with him on several occasions. He is accessible outside of business hours and makes honest representations. He always makes time to discuss a matter regardless of how busy he is.

Posted by Rikkell | January 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

One of Best Lawyers I have ever had!

When I hired Joe, my divorce had been finalized. My children's father had been actively pursuing full custody of our children for approximately 2 years. He was using many subversive tactics to manipulate the system in his favor. Quite honestly, the whole thing was akin to a three-ring circus, with... a different accusation brought to the court every week. Joe stepped in right away and brought sanity to my case. His calm demeanor decreased the intensity in the room, whether that be the courtroom or a meeting with all parties present. When Joe was in the courtroom, I appreciated that he used logic when responding to the accusations made which ultimately led to the court deciding in my favor. Additionally, there were several occasions where a petition would be postponed or the judge would request additional information before making a final decision. When this occurred, Joe was able to be quick on his feet -- creatively using the evidence provided by opposing counsel to address the petition and provide sufficient information to the judge for settling the petition in dispute. If you are looking for a lawyer who truly cares about your situation and who stands for doing what is right, then you want Joe as your lawyer. Joe understood that I was a single mother with limited time off work, so he ensured that I only went to court when it was absolutely necessary. He fought to protect my rights and my children every step of the way. I am forever grateful for the work that Joe has done, and I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking clarity and/or closure in their family's legal matters.
