Tenacious!

Let me start off by saying that I am a current client of Mr. Pittullo. I previously used another attorney in the area in which she mishandled my case. Let me further state that I was referred by six different people. Yes, six different people and all but one of their cases were successful, the rea...son the one case was not successful was the parent was an absent parent and they chose to be absent which hurt the client ultimately. Mr. Pittullo is handling my complex Family Law matter. When I first retained Mr. Pittullo the retainer was steep, but I had to pay him to fix prior counsels mess she left me with. Mr. Pittullo is tenacious and respected amongst his peers. His staff is courteous and prompt. Melinda, Mr. Pittullos legal assistant is courteous and involved and have nothing but respect for this individual. I have seen Mr. Pittullo in court on other Family Law matters before judicial officers and was impressed with his knowledge and tenacity in the court room. I will recommend if one is seeking an attorney, make a list of questions for possible candidates. You are interviewing them just as much as they are listening to facts of your Family Law matter. I can also attest to you that you are paying for what you get Mr. Pittullo and his staff. I would definitely refer Mr. Pittullo and his staff to anyone. There are so many other attorneys one could choose, but do your due diligence and homework and at the minimum speak with Mr. Pittullo you will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Mr. Pittullo!

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

Awesome experience

The Pittullo firm was hired to help me resolve legal issues with my son's school district. The attorney was extremely generous with her time and experience. She was knowledgeable, dedicated, firm yet reasonable. She made us feel like we were family. I would hire this firm again and again for any lega...l matters I may have.

P. Timothy Pittullo

If you want to win your case, hire this guy. Timothy Pittullo is as tenacious as they come. He knows what it takes to win a case, and his experience really shows he is no rookie in the court room. I liked Timothy because he listened to me and also that he has been focused on family law his entire ca...reer. I would recommend Mr. Pittullo in any family law or divorce case, he is true pro.

Lack of attention to detail.

It depends how much money you have and who your spouse has hired. If you want to blow through money and know you are going to trial, hire him. However, watch every single detail and don't let him turn those details over to someone else. You are going to have to stay on top of everything as he doesn't... like the details. The ego might get in the way as well. if your spouse hired a pitbull use Pittullo, his secretary is amazing and is responsive...and you will pay for all of it. He will work to settle but make sure YOU, not him or his team know what you want, the value of itand have all your details in hand as he won't. You might also not know what to ask for and you will need to press him for all those details. So, be careful when you decide on Pittullo, you will have a highly experienced attorney, a pitbull in court, an amazing man that does one hell of a deposition but you will not have a friend or an advocate and if your miney runs low he won't work for you and will not go after attorney fees or temporary attroney fees. Unless you know ahead of time to ask for them. His discovery department isn't that great but they send out the paperwork ratehr quickly. Don't let the junior attonrey handle your case or deal with other advanced attorney's withou pitullo there.

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Mr. Pittullo in the "heat of battle" over the course of litigating some very difficult family cases. He was very professional in handling the matters as well as in his interactions with me as the opposing attorney and with the court. In each matter he was as interested in exploring settlement opportunities as he was in taking the case to trial. He provides a very professional and quality service to his clients."
