Peter Timothy Pittullo

With all the hype and the dog and pony show he gave me to get me to hire him, I realize now it was smoke and mirrors. His billing was excessive and he burned through hours. It is all about the money for the guy and he called me the wrong name a couple times. He is was not flexible to my work schedule... and could only call me on certain days that he schedules calls. It is all about him. Twice late for court and one time forgot to come all together. Rude staff that scrambled to make excuses for the lack of timeliness. I did not find him to be aggressive, I did find him to be full of himself and out of touch with opposing council. He promoted expensive litigation and would not speak in a reasonable way with my spouses attorney and they hated him. When I was at court with him, he was walking through the court house and after he passed the bailiffs were laughing about him and his clothing. There was a gal in the fee area that told me pretty much everyone hates him and he has a really bad reputation about things. Lots of negative stories. I guess he used to be good but he is in decline and has financial troubles. When I changed attorney's my new gal told me a story about how he pushed a female attorney in public, that he is aggressive and had a fist-fight with another attorney and also that he was arrested at a local eatery. I also was told about some very disturbing things that made my skin crawl. I was thankful to follow my intuition and change attorney's. It took just 3 months with my new attorney and everything got resolved. I actually ended up having a better divorce and relationship with my ex. Things were really getting aggressive and ugly when Tim Pittullo was handing things as he was combative and really dismissive to the other attorney and my spouse. As we have children and I am a good-hearted person, I could not allow an attorney to cause emotional harm and psychological harm and distress with my former spouse. I don't like that game and as a christian I found his approach to be very troubling morally. Money is the root of all evil and I heard someone on his staff talking about a foreclosure when I was waiting for my appointment. I think he has serious ethical challenges and I do not understand how this behavior is not investigated by the Bar Association. He has people on edge and I was getting tense and stressed during my retained time with him. I cant change the fact I made a bad decision and I debated as to if I should post something but my heart could not rest at night if I didn't tell other people to be careful. I have asked my prayer group to pray for this man's soul as it is soiled and dark. May God have mercy on his soul. There is always time to repent. I am troubled as to why someone chooses not to be good to people and why he lacks the skills to come to settlement in productive ways that do not seek to destroy people. He lacks emotional intelligence and self-awareness. He could use his skills for good and still get paid well. It was my sense has a lot of fear that that the fraternity in him has lost sight of what good feels and looks like. Troubled soul of a person. Again, I will pray for him.

After a year of seemingly getting nowhere, in a drawnout dispute over custody and visitation, I hired the law offices of Pitulo Barker to take over my case. Having worked with a number of attorneys prior, I was acutely aware of the frustration at seeing my case handled In an incompetent matter. My... previous attorneys filed numerous motions and racked up enormous fees while accomplishing little. From my first consultation with Mr. Pitulo, he spelled out, in no uncertain terms, The percentage of success rate that I had for the various aspects of my case. Afterwards we mapped out a clear strategy on moving ahead. Mr. Pitulo was truly brilliant in the court room and is certainly one of the best litigators I have ever witnessed. The result was that I was able to reach a settlement with my ex-wife in a very short amount of time for far less than I had expected. The law offices continue to serve me as any issues arise in the execution of the court order. I would most definitely recommend this law office for any family related issues.

For the past 10 years, Mr. Pittullo has rendered me with an attorney-client relationship unparalleled in its broad scope and power. Due to the litigious nature of my ex-spouse, my divorce and associated legal proceedings have carried a high caliber of intensity over an extraordinary number of years. ... Difficult decision-making throughout my case with the accompanying stress in my current relationships has been forefront. Having experienced work with two other attorney firms at the beginning of my divorce, I can attest to the superior level of service and effectiveness of Mr. Pittullo’s practice. Mr. Pittullo’s quick intellect and unquestionable knowledge of the law sways even a difficult Judge. Yet, despite his strength in litigation, he is quick to offer advice informed by his vast experience, extending beyond courtroom concerns to anticipate the impact that legal proceedings inevitably have on other facets of my life. Mr. Pittullo readily offers unusual insight into legal situations, considering the client’s best interest at heart: he has counseled me regarding the best legal pathway for my specific financial situation and with regard for the stressful impact any legal proceeding has upon my personal life and relationships. In my experience this is where other attorneys fail to offer a rounded personable opinion, perhaps fearing to venture beyond the letter of the law to see the client’s broader needs. I continue to retain Mr. Pittullo after over a decade of service, having directly experienced the greater costs of retaining a lessor attorney in terms of higher overall costs with less effective service, combined with greater fatigue from less expedient outcomes. I highly encourage consideration of Mr. Pittullo for his abilities to get the job done with cost-effectiveness and stress-reduction in mind for the best of the client.

Mr. Pittullo has been my lawyer since 2010. I have a very difficult International divorce with so many moving parts that it is amazing how he keeps it all fresh in his mind. I knew from the first moment I met him that he was the lawyer for me! He is a fierce litigator, unmatched in his knowledge o...f the law and respected among his peers and the judges. Mr. Pittullo has been able to keep me on point, which can be difficult when emotions take hold. I have found him to be understanding and compassionate. He has always put the best interests of our children at the top of the list of his priorities. Mr. Pittullo saved my home when it seemed lost. His support team and fellow attorney Mr. Zitney are hardworking and brilliant! Friends of mine who are attorneys tell me that when they learn Mr. Pittullo is the opposing counsel they double to triple their retainers...that is how good he is! He will be the most powerful advocate you could ask for and your best shot at justice in what seems to be a judicial system that is sadly lacking. Dina S
