Bad Experience

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.

Realistic and solid as a rock

Mr. Pittullo has represented my children and I in a very contentious divorce and custody case lasting 7 + years. My case required aggressive representation not only because my ex had more than 10 attorneys as well as representing himself, but that he did whatever he could do to harm me financially, e...ven if it reflected upon him poorly. Mr. Pittullo does not get intimidated (as crazy or stressful as it can be in the courtroom) and what I really appreciate is his realistic attitude and approach on dealing with issues. Throughout the years, Mr. Pittullo and his legal Secretary, Melinda, were responsive and detailed and we worked together well. If I had a question or needed clarification, I was informed of his schedule and availability so that we could coordinate a time to talk, including weekends. Perhaps every case doesn’t require Pittullo but if it is complicated or contentious, seek him out.

Recommend Mr. Pittullo

Prior to retaining Mr. Pittullo, I struggled to finalize my divorce and child custody agreements. Mr. Pittullo years of experience were evident as he guided me through a frustrating family court system. He was attentive to my questions and requests, ensuring that we were in agreement and aware of all... actions occurring. It was apparent that he is well respected in his field as his advise is often sought by other attorneys. I’ve since referred Mr. Pittullo to others...he may be expensive, but well worth it. You may be able to find a more affordable attorney, but in the long run the cost will be greater as the time you spend trying to reach a resolution will be much longer and another attorney will attain far less favorable results.

Ethical, Professional, Intelligent

Mr. Pittullo represented my wife and I through an over litigated and very nasty legal battle. Throughout the process Mr. Pittullo and his team had our full confidence and respect. Never once did we question the integrity of anyone in his law firm. We were always charged fairly, always received timely... responses, always treated with respect, and always felt like we had the very best legal representation. Additionally, I had opportunities to overhear other attorneys' hallway conversations about Mr. Pittullo, and it is clear that he is highly regarded among his peers. He is a formidable yet ethical attorney and I believe that he and his law firm provide the very best legal representation possible.

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."
