"A neighbor in my building referred me to Mr. Napoli. Due to the short notice I gave Mr. Napoli about my issue, I did not expect anything to get done. Notwithstanding the short notice given, Mr. Napoli was able to react immediately and, as a result, I received a check in the mail in the amount I was requesting."

I called Mr. Napoli's office in a last minute effort to get an issue resolved regarding monies owed to me from my landlord. Many others gave me open ended answers with little to no assurance. I called Mr. Napoli with my problem on a thursday and he was able to get me the money I was asking for by Monday.

From day 1, I was totally impressed by Joe's knowledge, confidence and ability to complete the task that was explained to him. His honesty and integrity were refreshing and vital in my decision to hire him and his team. He was very attentive to my every word and needs and wanted what was best and fair for all parties involved. He tentatively devised a plan and had my case filed by the end of the same week! Between him and his amazing team at Beermann Law, the plan began to come to fruition. The team is very diligent, accommodating and effective! Working alongside each other like a "well-oiled machine". I didn't have to be in contact constantly because I knew they were working on the case and would contact me when needed. This helped me to be less stressed and allowed me to move on with what I had to accomplish as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this team OVER AND OVER again!! Keep in mind my case was settled in a timely manner during the height of the pandemic! Joe and team, I will forever be grateful for the life changing work that was accomplished through all of you!!

My name is Mark Kokoyachuk. I hired Joseph Napoli through a referral from a very good friend of mine, Misha. Misha went through five lawyers before hiring Joe and what I remember distinctively was Misha saying, the difference between Joe and all the other lawyers was that Joe was a fighter. That Joe would fight for you. That Joe cared and wasn't just trying to take your money. It was evident from the start. When I met with Joe my daughters mother had taken my daughter out of the country and wouldn't bring her back, I didn't see my daughter for 4 month. When my daughters mother realized that if she didn't bring her back she would get arrested she then filed a restraining order against me falsely accusing be a physical abuse. When in court it caught myself and Joe by surprise but Joe kept his cool and mandated to have a hearing ASAP. The other lawyer tried to extend it for another 30 to 45 days but Joe said 1 week. He convinced the Judge not to kick this case down the line but to hear it ASAP and the Judge agreed. I'm so thankful to Joe and everything he has done. And by the way, I was eventually awarded Permanent Full Custody of my 6 year old daughter. This would have never happened if I went with another lawyer. Joe fought for me and continues to give me advise when I need it. I have refereed Joe to other friends of mine and will continue to refer him to whom asks.

I have had the extreme displeasure of being in a custody case from hell for the past 8 yrs at the Daly Center. I have had quite a few bad attorneys, GAL's and judges. I WISH I would have had hired Joe sooner, if I had I truly believe the course of my case could have been diametrically different. In the extremely, nasty, corrupt Cook County Court system, you will find many unconscionable and unethical characters. Joe truly is different from any attorney I have met. I HIGHLY recommend him and would vouch for his integrity, work ethic and caring nature. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is going through a divorce/custody case.

Friends of mine always say I got screwed by the courts when I got divorced because for a successful woman the courts are much less supportive. But I knew from the beginning I needed a strong lawyer who would advocate for my best interests and more importantly the best interests of my children. Joe fought hard for what he knew was right and more importantly guided me through the process saving me thousands and thousands of dollars. He took every call and every text, days, nights or weekends. He let me decide when we backed down or pushed harder on something but always advised the best course of action. He stuck with me for almost 4 years (yes we have already been back to court since the divorce was final) and would help me again in a heartbeat. Joe makes his clients feel supported and in control. And when you are taking on a divorce both of those things are crucial to your sanity.

Joe navigated me through a very lengthy and exhausting custody battle with my ex. He is highly knowledgeable and recognizes what situations need a softer approach and when to be more aggressive. He was always prompt in his responses and walked me through his rationale with every step.

After not so great communication and bad handling by my first lawyer, I find Mr. Napoli a fresh air and a lifesaver!!! I totally agree with couple other posts mentioning that he's not your everyday 9-5 lawyer. He has given me very insightful opinion on my case during consultation and on the same day, I sent over my docs and he's already reviewing it and communicating with me thru emails on the same night! My ex wants to change his visitation and child support. He sees the problem right away and explains the steps to take which makes the most sense. As a divorced mother with multiple young children, he saved me from doing the unnecessary paperwork pushed by my first lawyer. He's an expert in law and very honest about what's worth pursuing and what's not and possible timeline ahead. I appreciate Mr. Napoli's calm, clear, and gentle way of communication, a breath of fresh air from my first lawyer. I will definitely recommend Mr. Napoli to friends and family who need the help. Thank you!

I was referred to Joe by a friend who went through several attorneys prior, to handle my divorce (during the pandemic). Not only did he handle the case expeditiously; he was responsive, courteous, knowledgeable of all facets, and effortlessly adaptable to new information and circumstances. He took the time to lay out a plan and answer all my questions throughout - which were many. While he may be fairly young, his foresight and strategy are truly unbelievable. Also during this emotional time not only was he able to keep us on track, but he gave solid personal advice that helped ease the day to day. Some people are created for certain professions and Joe was undeniably supposed to be a lawyer. Highly recommended.

Joe Napoli is a consummate professional, yet also very personable and respectful and accommodates any special needs his clients may have. I have severe PTSD with Anxiety and Depression and Joe was kind enough and empathetic enough to learn about my disease and adapt to my special needs, as a client. Additionally, Joe has an intimate knowledge of the applicable laws and statutes and, many times, can quote them verbatim. He is also very savvy in keeping up with applicable caselaw and precedents. Joe is not your typical M-F 9-5 attorney. Frequently, he would return my calls or emails at night and on weekends. That is very rare in an attorney! I went through two previous attorneys before I found my perfect fit with Joe. Unlike my previous attorneys, Joe returned my calls or emails, promptly. He took the time to ensure that I understood every step of the process and that my best interests were always being protected. Joe also has an outstanding support staff, who are equally responsive and eager to ensure your peace of mind. I would highly recommend Joe to anybody and everybody! I did exceedingly well in terms of the settlement of my estate. I thank Joe for providing me the ability and means to start my life over.
