TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

  • Joe is a great attorney. Very composed and calculated and concerned about the client’s interest and not just about earning a few. The entire team at Beermann is very professional and works together in client’s best interest. I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone going through divorce process.

    -Kamila

Every question or concern that I had he had an answer for. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

    -Anonymous

  • Because of the persistence, legal expertise, and genuine concern for my personal well being a very unpleasant divorce was successfully negotiated by Joseph Napoli II.

    -Tanya

  • I was extraordinarily impressed with Joe for many reasons: 1. Joe is clearly extremely knowledgeable with divorce law in the Chicago area. 2. Joe is completely devoted to his client and is available 24/7. A late and long Sunday night stands out in my mind. 3. Joe is very sensitive to his client’s needs and is very calming in his approach. 4. Joe is collaborative in his efforts and will consult with other attorneys in his firm on “gray” issues where there is more than one approach , and debate is valuable. I would definitely use Joe again without the need of interviewing others, and would give Joe the highest recommendation.

    -Steve

  • Joe Napoli represented us under such precarious circumstances. Having had such horrendous representation prior to Joe, and having been taken advantage of without representation, Joe had his work cut out for him. He handled our custodial case with great care and attention. What continued to amaze me is that no matter how difficult things were or how stressed we were, he had a calming aura in all phases.
