"Joseph DiPietro is a remarkable lawyer. From the start, it is so evident that he is so confident in what he knows and what he can do, and he exudes that confidence."

I had the amazing luck of finding a wonderful lawyer at one of the most difficult times of my life, and I wanted to write this review to hopefully help others who seek legal guidance.

Joseph DiPietro is a remarkable lawyer. From the start, it is so evident that he is so confident in what he knows and what he can do, and he exudes that confidence. His confidence is very empowering and feels so natural, and you know you are in good hands and that feeling is priceless.

When I met Mr. DiPietro, I had completely lost hope. I have had a lawyer for more than a year and his services, unfortunately, did not bring a timely resolution, and at the time any resolution to my case seemed impossible. There was almost no one I can seek guidance from, because my situation was very particular. Then finally I found Mr. DiPietro.

During our first conversation with Mr. DiPietro, for the first time in more than a year I had hope, and it is the most important thing so you won’t give up. He was very positive, professional, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. He gathered all the information he required from me without me even thinking about what I need to convey to him. I am not good with details, and do not have any legal knowledge. Therefore, I needed to find someone I can depend on and trust completely. In addition, I am a foreigner and I do not always communicate very well since English is my second language, so I was particularly grateful for his patience, impeccable fact-finding skills and communication abilities.

Mr. DiPietro is also very responsive. He always responds to emails and phone calls within a day at the latest. This in itself gave me so much peace because I knew if I needed him I can reach him. He always provided very professional legal counsel, always to the point and always with the attitude of positivity. The consistency in his services allowed me to gage my expectations and again created a peace of mind in such tough times.

In addition to his legal knowledge, he is also very kind and generous. Finding a kind, generous and with a willingness to listen lawyer is an extremely rare opportunity, and I am extremely grateful to have found one.

In addition to my wonderful experience with Mr. DiPietro during the development of my case: My case reached completion within a couple of months with a very positive outcome, even if it was a very complex case. But his ‘to-the-point’ and focused approach combined with his extraordinary legal knowledge brought a resolution to my case very fast.

He changed my life. Because of him, finally I can live in peace knowing that justice prevailed and I can move forward with my life with hope for my future. Knowing and working with Mr. DiPietro was a gift that I will forever be grateful for.

"Mr. DiPietro took the time to get the facts and check the laws. Mr. DiPietro also has empathy, which is sorely lacking in the legal world."

What does a wife of 30 years do after her world comes crashing down and her spouse deserts her without even giving a clue there is a problem? Once the initial shock settles, one hopefully finds a good attorney. With so many attorneys out there, you might think that it would be a fairly easy task, especially in the DC area. WRONG!

At first I thought that a female attorney would be a good choice. After meeting with three highly-recommended female divorce attorneys from different law offices, I learned the following: (1) Many attorneys do not know marital laws – they assume that because Virginia is a commonwealth, that outcomes of all cases will be the same (2) Many attorneys either don’t know or don’t care about the rights of military spouses (3) Many attorneys have absolutely no empathy, regardless of the situation.

These three realizations lead me to my second option…find a qualified attorney on the internet after posting my case. I figured it couldn’t get any worse at that point! I was correct! Mr. Joe DiPietro contacted me about my case. It turns out he had helped my family with a small financial case a few years earlier. He recognized my name on the legal site and contacted me. Had I realized that he was a family law attorney from the start, I would have contacted him immediately. I’d thought he only did financial types of cases. Mr. DiPietro took the time to get the facts and check the laws. Mr. DiPietro also has empathy, which is sorely lacking in the legal world.

Mr. DiPietro took my case to court and the judge ordered immediate temporary spousal support (a very fair amount). I won’t bore with details, but what could have turned into a very expensive divorce a year later, ended up being monetarily settled very much to my advantage, without additional expense of discovery, etc. I will always be grateful to Joe DiPietro. He took my situation very seriously and was always available. He is determined, patient, quick to respond in communication, and mostly, a man of character. Thanks Joe!

"He is an excellent attorney and provided me with the representation and counsel that produced a final settlement agreement, which resulted in me not having to pay any additional alimony."

Mr. DiPietro represented me in a difficult and complex divorce proceeding. He is an excellent attorney and provided me with the representation and counsel that produced a final settlement agreement, which resulted in me not having to pay any additional alimony or support to my former spouse.

While Mr. DiPietro’s legal expertise is beyond question, I was particularly impressed with his personal attention to my case and his dedication to me as his client. He was available day or night, and he ensured that I received the representation necessary for a fair and equitable settlement of my divorce. Joe and I not only have an attorney-client relationship, but we have become friends. I have total trust in his abilities as an attorney and as a person of the highest reputation and character. I can recommend Mr. DiPietro without reservation.

"I have heard it said you get what you pay for....and we got the best."

Can't say enough about the way they handled our case, it did cost more than we had planned, but it was worth every penny we spent. I have heard it said you get what you pay for....and we got the best.

"Made the process seem effortless though I know that wasn’t the case behind the scenes."

Mr. DiPietro and I met by chance or by design I’m not sure which really. I would like to draw particular attention to his eagerness and flexibility to work with a Soldier in the Military. He was very patient and understanding when working with a client on a budget. He was a true asset to me through my complicated divorce/protective order process. I will without a doubt recommend him to any Soldiers going through a struggle in their personal life where an Attorney needs to be involved. To you directly Mr. DiPietro, I cannot thank you enough for the hard work and dedication you put into the long road that was my individual situation. You made the process seem effortless, though I know that wasn’t the case behind the scenes. Thank you again.

"We are forever grateful to have had the DiPietro Firm represent us."

We are forever grateful to have had the DiPietro Firm represent us. Family Law is not a short and quick process. Clients are desperate, angry, confused and the attorney has to entertain it. They made sure to focus on the case and not the useless "drama". This may come across as not caring however, at the end, (months later) the bigger picture is clear, and we know without a doubt, if we didn't have them as our attorneys we wouldn't have our family.

"My experience with Mr. Gross was positive and I was left satisfied with the end result."

I worked with Daniel Gross who recently joined this practice. My experience with Mr. Gross was positive and I was left satisfied with the end result and the cost during what was a very difficult process.
