This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ms

I hired Mr Lepera, he came recommended to me from my friend Emily. I’m very happy that he took my case. This being a first time in my life that I ever needed an attorney I was very anxious and did not have the understanding of what the process was.I feel assured that I was recommended the best. My... case is not over yet it’s been going on for like three years and I don’t know when it’s going to end because of COVID-19 I was really hoping that would be over this year 2020 because the stress of being a single mother near 60 years with three mentally ill boys is very stressful. I feel Joseph Explained himself in layman’s terms to where I feel comfortable. I’m very happy that my hard earned money is going to a very hard-working honest individual. God Bless

Best attorney I have worked with

Joseph has been helping me on contract negotiations for years, and I have watched as he has won case after case for others on employment wrongful termination issues and many other. He is smart, energetic, and very aggressive in the pursuit of a fair deal for his clients. I highly recommend him.
