Dustin and the Camarata team were Awesome!

Dustin Krogh has been my lawyer since my divorce and most recently into a difficult child custody case with a move away. I really couldn’t be happier with him and his firm! He was always responsive and timely. I feel like I need to say this next part because I’m not a fan of having to do anything... inside a courtroom or with Lawyers in general but he actually cared about me. Not just the case and the face value of the challenges it brought, but me. He handled everything cleanly, gave phenomenal advice and helped me through some very tight and tough times. For perspective I’m a Dad in the state of California fighting custody of 2 kids and moving with them out of state. Through the whole process he kept me grounded, set my expectations accurately, and maintained a professional decorum that I appreciate and admire! If I could give 10 stars I would.

Honest, Professional and Timely

Mr. Camarata and his legal assistant Lisa were a great legal team in processing my divorce. From day one of my consultation to the final decree, they were professional and responsive to my concerns. I was given honest and realistic advice as opposed to the false hype most attorneys spin in order to... get and prolong your case. I was most impressed by Mr. Camarata's intent and commitment to move the process forward in as timely and cost efficiently as possible. I could not have had better representation.

Great and knowledgeable team!

Such a great, hard-fighting team! They ensured that I was taken care of and understood options as I live out of state. They helped me with a custody change and they were very knowledgeable on the matter. I cannot thank them enough with the patience they have had with me and the matter. I highly reco...mmend this great team for any legal matter that you may encounter. I promise you they will walk with you every step of the way.

Amazing service. Friendly and supportive great advice and representation.

Joe and Lisa make an amazing team. I had a rough divorce and had a hostile relationship with my soon to be ex wife. Joe showed up in court and guided me through the whole process from the restraining order through the visitation and custody hearings Joe fought for my interests and got me the best out...come possible. When it came time to settle our marital propert and debts. Lisa sat my ex and myself down, explained the whole process and made sure that everything ws clear and my interests were represented. She convinced my ex to accept the proposed settlement, with only a few changes to property division that were acceptable to both of us and completed a process I was sure would take days in only a few hours. I strongly recommend Camarata law for your divorce needs. They will take good care of you.

Camarata Demonstrated Honesty, Integrity, Success

After working with several attorneys, I hired Joseph Camarata to represent me and my wife in our child support case. Mr. Camarata's professionalism and knowledge in family matters convinced me I found the right attorney. I hired him and his experienced paralegal assistant Lisa. Throughout the he...aring preparation, Lisa was always extremely organized and very knowledgeable about family law so we were aware of how things would impact our case during all phases of the issue. Mr. Camarata presented the facts with confidence. He asked our permission to negotiate a settlement with my wife’s ex who has been difficult from the very beginning. Mr. Camarata developed a solution which ended this nightmare with acceptable terms. This ended a two year battle and my wife and I were pleased with the fact that it was over without having to compromise our position. My wife and I were very grateful the fees for this matter were very reasonable. Mr. Camarata did not prolong our case with unnecessary delays. We both felt we received the sound advice and the best representation. We truly feel stronger knowing we had Mr. Camarata and Lisa on our side! Feeling heard and respected is hard to find. We were both happy to have Camarata Law Firm on our side. They treat us like friends. We strongly recommend this law firm.
