Joseph Ronald Napoli II

Living through a custody case is emotionally challenging. I am grateful that I made the correct choice in hiring Joe. He is well versed in the law, and I appreciated his ability to communicate that knowledge to help me navigate these waters. Great adviser to make decisions when negotiating, and also... knows when to push a bit harder in the court room. Also thank you to his staff, easy to work with. Very responsive.

From the moment I met Joe, he inspired confidence and put my fears aside. He was fully attentive to my personal goals in my parental rights case, and had multiple creative approaches to achieving the outcomes I desired, giving me numerous options, which was empowering. He also is very well spoken and... has a commanding presence, which all work in your favor. I felt like I was in the best of hands with Joe and the Beermann firm, which takes a collaborative approach on every case--meaning that you have many of their top-tier lawyers in your corner. I could not be happier with Joe's work, and highly recommend him.

Joe was excellent with my case. He was always available to speak to whenever I had any questions regarding my case. Since I don't live in Illinois, I wasn't able to go to any of the hearings. Joe went to all the hearings on my behalf and he kept me well informed of all of what went on in the court ro...om. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to speak on my behalf. With this being my first time of going through a divorce, Joe made the process as painless as possible. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone if you are in need of a professional divorce attorney that will look out for what is best for you.

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.

I hired Joe as my attorney after my ex husband had fallen 2 years behind in his support payments. I went into this with low expectations since my ex did not have a job and hadn't been looking, but figured something would be better than the nothing I had been receiving. Joe went above and beyond an...ything I had ever hoped for! Not only did he make sure my ex was actively seeking employment, but after gathering all financial info from him, he was able to have the court order his house to be sold (which Joe handled everything from finding a realtor all the way through closing!) resulting in me receiving all back support owed to me PLUS a substantial amount put aside in case he were to fall behind again! He also made sure that my ex paid a portion of my attorney fees which was a huge help! Another huge plus for me was that due to the nature of my employment, if I were to have taken off work for court dates, I would not get paid. Joe was extremely understanding of this and handled ALL my court dates on his own. I never had to appear in court. He also was very communicative and took the time to answer any and all my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely have Joe represent me again if ever needed and would recommend him to any one!
