We Are Very Grateful to This Law Firm
I hired Patituce & Associates for a family member recently. There was one charge of a felony 3, which may have had consequences of up to three years' incarceration. The end result was the felony was reduced, and my family member was able to receive several years' probation and a program, but this allowed him to keep his freedom and be with his family. We are very grateful to this law firm. They worked hard, and Catherine Meehan and Aaron Schwartz were the attorneys that worked on the case. They both were very caring and knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, Patituce & Associates, for being there for us and getting us through this! I definitely believe in them and do recommend them!

My son is out of prison
We hired Joe Patituce to represent a family member on several serious charges. We had met with several attorneys and I always started with, "We are looking for someone that is totally invested in this case." We found that person in Joe. He was always honest with us and we knew it was a hard hill to climb. Even though Joe fought tooth and nail, the outcome was not in my son's favor. We expected the outcome since the judge allowed things that he admitted behind closed doors he would lose on appeal. While in prison with a sentence 10 to life, Joe never lost his passion and he filed an appeal and WON big time. My son is out of prison and he has the chance to have a full life. Let me assure you if it was not for Joe Patituce and Associates my son would still be locked up. We are so grateful to Joe for being honest, dedicated, knowledgeable, and staying invested in the case.
