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

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!

Excellent Family Lawyer

For the first time, I found myself in a situation where I needed a lawyer to attain child support from a very high profile individual. After meeting with Joe, I no longer feared the process of going against a man of status. He was very attentive and informative. He answered all of my questions and en...sured that I fully understood the proceedings. Even now, after we’ve settled on an agreement, Joe has made himself available to answer any and all questions that I have. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone if you are looking for a lawyer who is patient, assertive on your behalf and works in your best interest.

Joe gets things done

I found Joe when I was looking for someone to help me deal with ongoing issues I had with my ex-husband from daily harassment to not honoring visitation schedule and non-payment of child support. At first, I tried to deal with it on my own but it was way too much for me to handle. My life was in cons...tant turmoil and dire need of structure. Thankfully, Joe took over and immediately took care of the most pressing issues. He helped me get an order of protection for two years and reinforced the visitation schedule. As time went on, we also worked out other issues, such as child support payments. I really do not know where I would be if it was not for Joe. My life is peaceful and quiet at last and my daughter is not put in the middle of all the fighting. My only regret is not finding Joe sooner.

Highly Recommended

Joe Napoli took the lead in my complex support and custody battle against my very high net worth opponent. His dedicated effort and commitment to achieving results is what ensured that my position was rightfully heard, understood, and awarded in the courtroom. Joe is an attorney who knows the value... of believing in his client just as much as the client needs to believe in their attorney. It was imperative to me that I could trust my representation to defend my case with the ability to manage a history of very specific details, facts, finances, and great knowledge of the law. Joe's work ethic and integrity is unsurpassable; his advice is always spot on and was always in the best interest of my child and me. During the most challenging and uncertain time when he was sought to be hired, he restored my confidence and ultimately the quality of life my son and I had to fight for. The combination of his experience with very high caliber cases and the extra measures he takes ensured that our team was always prepared and at peak performance. His professionalism is second to none and he is very well liked and respected by everyone I have seen him encounter, one of his most powerful assets. One of his greatest skills is his ability to negotiate and craft settlement proposals for opportunities to resolve matters against some of the most unreasonable counters. My case resulted in a full trial, and it was Joe's dependability and efficiency that kept me at ease and allowed us to excel. While the experience itself is unimaginable, what I truly can't imagine is getting through the process without Joe as counsel.
