One in a lifetime Attorney

Run to the website and listen to Mr. Miles Beermann video it says so much about the talent and skill that Beermann Law delivers. It was a case that was heavy the kind that divorce brings. Joe Napoli and Britnee Hart Thank you first of all. Joe Napoli created a plan day one that was effective on p...aper and most of all in front of the judge. Joe concurred the courtroom and took the impossible to the finish line each time with successful results. Britnee backed it up wherever needed like no other. There were times that were really scary, Joe is always there to listen, advise and to give the reminder that WE will get through this with piece of mind to end sleepless nights. I don't know many attorneys that make or take calls on Sunday's, late nights and even Easter....Joe Napoli does and I will never forget it. Joe Napoli is a one in a lifetime human that is brilliant in his craft. I would pick Joe Napoli over and over as my Attorney. Britnee Hart is a leader in the industry she was there just as much as Joe these two are a powerhouse. Thank you again Joe Napoli Britnee Hart. G. Balistreri p.s were family now.

Excellent, highly recommend!

Joe and his team are absolutely phenomenal. I was referred by three different clients at my work and felt it was a sign to call. As difficult as my case was, I was met with utmost reliability and confidence. I was able to sit back and trust them to handle everything throughout the entire process; the...y wrapped everything that my previous attorney did in one year in two months. Their team has consistently provided timely and thorough communications, diligent work, and competency in the courtroom. Not once did I feel misinformed, neglected, or overbilled. He was originally my first atty of choice, and I regretfully decided on a lower hourly attorney to start, making the common mistake of assuming it would result in a lower total cost (it didn't, and I would have saved more starting with Joe). If you are considering Mr. Napoli as your counsel, your search can stop here, and don't think twice of it.

Paternity Case

I hired Joe for a paternity case that I was already in court for. Joe, not only pointed me in the right direction, he gave me advice on how to handle the situation and the proper way to communicate with my child's mother. Because of Joe's advice, I was able to settle my paternity case with my child...'s mother out of court. Which was a shock to her lawyer, the GAL and Joe. We were so far apart on every aspect of the litigation, no one thought it was possible for us to come to an agreement without the lawyers involved.

#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!!

Words cant express my gratitude.

My name is Mark Kokoyachuk. I hired Joseph Napoli through a referral from a very good friend of mine, Misha. Misha went through five lawyers before hiring Joe and what I remember distinctively was Misha saying, the difference between Joe and all the other lawyers was that Joe was a fighter. That J...oe would fight for you. That Joe cared and wasn't just trying to take your money. It was evident from the start. When I met with Joe my daughters mother had taken my daughter out of the country and wouldn't bring her back, I didn't see my daughter for 4 month. When my daughters mother realized that if she didn't bring her back she would get arrested she then filed a restraining order against me falsely accusing be a physical abuse. When in court it caught myself and Joe by surprise but Joe kept his cool and mandated to have a hearing ASAP. The other lawyer tried to extend it for another 30 to 45 days but Joe said 1 week. He convinced the Judge not to kick this case down the line but to hear it ASAP and the Judge agreed. I'm so thankful to Joe and everything he has done. And by the way, I was eventually awarded Permanent Full Custody of my 6 year old daughter. This would have never happened if I went with another lawyer. Joe fought for me and continues to give me advise when I need it. I have refereed Joe to other friends of mine and will continue to refer him to whom asks.
