Highly recommend

Joe navigated me through a very lengthy and exhausting custody battle with my ex. He is highly knowledgeable and recognizes what situations need a softer approach and when to be more aggressive. He was always prompt in his responses and walked me through his rationale with every step.

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!

Outstanding Attorney

I was referred to Joe by a friend who went through several attorneys prior, to handle my divorce (during the pandemic). Not only did he handle the case expeditiously; he was responsive, courteous, knowledgeable of all facets, and effortlessly adaptable to new information and circumstances. He took... the time to lay out a plan and answer all my questions throughout - which were many. While he may be fairly young, his foresight and strategy are truly unbelievable. Also during this emotional time not only was he able to keep us on track, but he gave solid personal advice that helped ease the day to day. Some people are created for certain professions and Joe was undeniably supposed to be a lawyer. Highly recommended.

Divorce attorney

Joe Napoli is a consummate professional, yet also very personable and respectful and accommodates any special needs his clients may have. I have severe PTSD with Anxiety and Depression and Joe was kind enough and empathetic enough to learn about my disease and adapt to my special needs, as a client. ...Additionally, Joe has an intimate knowledge of the applicable laws and statutes and, many times, can quote them verbatim. He is also very savvy in keeping up with applicable caselaw and precedents. Joe is not your typical M-F 9-5 attorney. Frequently, he would return my calls or emails at night and on weekends. That is very rare in an attorney! I went through two previous attorneys before I found my perfect fit with Joe. Unlike my previous attorneys, Joe returned my calls or emails, promptly. He took the time to ensure that I understood every step of the process and that my best interests were always being protected. Joe also has an outstanding support staff, who are equally responsive and eager to ensure your peace of mind. I would highly recommend Joe to anybody and everybody! I did exceedingly well in terms of the settlement of my estate. I thank Joe for providing me the ability and means to start my life over.

Child Custody

Joe did an excellent job of listening with intent when I explained my want for 50/50 custody. He was able you guide me with knowledge and details of how he wanted to handle my case/the court system. I was coached on how to handle certain situations with my son’s mother, and to document everything. If... there ever was a need to contact an Attourney in the future..Joe would be my first call. Thank you very much for showing the court why I deserve equal time with my son.
