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.

10 STARS! I would not recommend anyone else!

I highly recommend Joseph Napoli for anyone going through divorce. In 2020-2021 I hired Joe. He went far above and beyond my expectations. His professionalism, experience, patience, focus and knowledge shines through in his work. Genuinely caring for his clients, he and his team made this process fe...el quick and streamlined! If you are looking for someone you can trust, who is brilliant and organized, Joe is your man. If I could give her 10 STARS, I would.

Thank you Joe!

I evaluated several child custody lawyers before a close friend referred me to Joe. I was distressed, anxious and scared about this whole ordeal. Joe listened to my story and clearly outlined the steps in the process all while making certain my needs were met along the way. He was reassuring, attenti...ve, very responsive, always available, knowledgeable and in the end amazingly effective. I am so glad I trusted your judgement Joe, I will always be eternally grateful for your help.

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.

Incredible Divorce Attorney

Friends of mine always say I got screwed by the courts when I got divorced because for a successful woman the courts are much less supportive. But I knew from the beginning I needed a strong lawyer who would advocate for my best interests and more importantly the best interests of my children. Joe fo...ught hard for what he knew was right and more importantly guided me through the process saving me thousands and thousands of dollars. He took every call and every text, days, nights or weekends. He let me decide when we backed down or pushed harder on something but always advised the best course of action. He stuck with me for almost 4 years (yes we have already been back to court since the divorce was final) and would help me again in a heartbeat. Joe makes his clients feel supported and in control. And when you are taking on a divorce both of those things are crucial to your sanity.
