Your search is over- you found the best!

Congratulations! Your search is over. You have found the best. Joe Napoli is knowledgeable, confident and most importantly- he will take care of you. Chances are, if you are in search of a family law attorney, you are in crisis right now. That’s where my daughter was when we found Joe. We had so many... questions, fear and concern. She didn't know where to turn or who to trust. This situation was unfamiliar territory for us, and the stakes have never been higher. She received a referral to Beermann Law and we called together- not knowing how many attorneys we would need to talk to before we found the right one. We left a message with the firm and Joe was the one to call us back. He was so prompt and professional. He was in the middle of helping someone else but assured us that he would give us his full attention in an hour. While we waited we consulted his reviews - which were impressive! When he called us back, he listened as we shared concern after concern. He confidently came up with solutions for each problem and we felt like the world had been lifted from our shoulders after talking to him. We knew from that moment we were in good hands. And it proved to be true! Thank you Joe!

Top Family Lawyer

After being referred by my cousin, I reached out to Joe during a very stressful period. Joe is incredibly level-headed and insightful. He offered a fresh perspective and creative solutions that made all the difference during my case. His advice provided instant relief and directly resulted in a favor...able outcome. If you’re looking for a family lawyer you can trust, Joe is the absolute best choice.

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.

A force to be reckoned with

I am so grateful a friend recommended Joe. He has completely changed my mindset on the family court system. Previously I had experienced what felt like two attorneys working together to "kick the can" down the road and never come to a resolution, while I racked up a ton of cost. Joe and his team we...re a breath of fresh air! He listens, he's practical, he didn't try to convince me one way or another--but rather he gave guidance and options. Dare I say---he has empathy and is smart as hell at the same time. He took my case and got a resolution quickly and effectively. It's the first time I've seen a bill that felt extremely fair. Joe is knowledgeable and assertive. He doesn't back down. He is very well respected and shows up to court beyond prepared. While no one wants to be in the family court system, if you have to be, I would never use anyone else but Joe. He's force to be reckoned with.

Joe is the best!

I have a very litigative ex who filed motions one another to attempt to modify the judgement. At each time, our side prevailed! Luckily we had Joe Napoli II and his team from Beermann to represent me and each time, we prevailed. Joe is truly the best. Joe will listen to your needs. He will e...valuate the case and explains his plans and steps to take. He will advice what's worth fighting for and what's not to save money and time. He's not your average attorney. He is very dedicated to his work and will keep in touch with emails/phone calls/texts even late at night or weekends. He's ALWAYS patient and respectful answering and addressing my million questions and concerns. He is so well prepared for all court hearings, and with all documentations and evidences ready. He's never late to court and more than often he came early, which won praises from the judge! In the Zoom and in-person court hearings, Joe fought hard for me. We pretty much got what we wanted! Another observation is that he is well respected by the judge and he's given ample chances to present our side. In the end Joe had helped me add clauses and conditions to the judgement to further protect my children's health and safety, to safeguard child support, and to severely limit my ex's chance of coming back to the court. Joe will always be my go-to guy for any future family law advice/issues. Thank you Joe! JW
