Peter Timothy Pittullo

I re-read my previous review and don't feel like I've done enough to voice my positive experience with Mr. Pittullo and his team. My divorce involved a restraining order, a post-nuptial agreement whereby community property was challenged, TWO trials because of unnecessary continuances, etc. I did... a TON of legwork in data gathering with respect to my spouse and exposing his lies, but that doesn't undermine what he and his team (Jonathon Zitney and Jenn Heffernan) did for me. I fought for and walked away with a 5 year restraining order, sole custody of the children, the sole and separate property of my residence despite being in a community property state, my spouse was sanctioned for misconduct involving moving assets and purposefully dragging out the trial(s), etc.. I can go on and on about our success as a true team. Mr. Pittullo commands the courtroom, but give him the goods to fight with. I did and we prevailed. He was always very frank with me the odds of "winning" a motion and every decision I made was done with extreme thought and caution and I routinely evaluated cost vs. benefit. And with respect to what people say about him, he is a very, very wonderful person outside of his court persona and I have tremendous respect for him and his team. If your spouse is a fighter, Pittullo will aggressively fight for you and beat the opposition down. But if your spouse is cooperative, Mr. Pittullo becomes a true, positive mediator. He and is his team are the best.

Mr. Pittullo is very effective when your divorce is litigated and if your spouse is a beast. He will quickly change who is "alpha"! I did much of the data gathering to make his job easier and so he and his staff didn't have to spend their time doing what I could do. That is very important. So...me details can be overlooked by him and his staff so you need to stay on top of them....after all, it is YOUR LIFE. But I would highly recommend him if you are going to have a challenging divorce.

I hired Tim Pittullo for my family law case. I let him go due to quality and performance issues. I experienced the following: 1. Late to hearings and meetings 2. Not prompt in returning phone calls 3. Used vulgar language 4. Slurred speech 5. Sloppy follow-up case details 6. Missed detail...s on OSC documents 7. Did not perform proper discovery 8. Double billed 9. Rude support staff 10. Yelled at the opposing attorney and displayed embarrassing behavior. I then distanced myself as I did not desire my case or reputation to be soiled by Tim's behavior 11. Advised me to do unethical things such as lying about my income and fudge expenses. I did not engage in his poor advice and that was the last straw. I do not recommend this attorney or the Law Firm of P. Timothy Pittullo Esq.

I used Mr. Pittullo for my divorce 5 years ago. His office is impressive and he seems to know what he is talking about. Unfortunately I think he talks too much and doesn't listen enough. My divorce was pretty simple because my ex-wife and I were able to come to terms with almost everything. Mr. P...ittullo basically had to write it up and make sure there were no mistakes and that he was protecting my interests since my ex had her own lawyer. After spening $13000 for rubber stamp divorce there were still important (to me) details Mr. Pittullo missed on my final divorce decree. Namely I wanted to stipulate that if my ex was going to get alimony she could not have her boyfriend living in the house with my children. Several emails, phone calls, and meetings with Mr. Pittullo I got the sense that he didn't put too much thought into my case and advise me about any of my rights. I subsequently stopped using him for any further litigation and have been all the happier.
