Great lawyer and easy to talk to

Joe is smart and courageous. You will have a strong lawyer on your side with him!

I fed exed a retainer in good faith on 10/2/2014 being that Joe was my sisters lawyer. She passed away on 11/1/2013 and as of this date 8/15/2015 nothing has happened. Many emails, several phone calls and many texts, still nothing. I even asked for my money back. That did not happen either. I live in Florida, or I would be at his office. $3500 spent and I have nothing to show for it and it is an insult to the passing of my sister.

UPDATE 6/29/2017

Still have yet to hear any response from Joe, even after sending multiple forms of correspondence including certified mail which he never signed for. He kept all of my retainer fee and never produced any results. Never hire this man for anything; he is a crook who deserves to be disbarred!

In 2001, I retained Joseph Fornunato, when I separated from my ex-husband. This was a very expensive mistake. Law is not law when you don't have the right attorney for your situation. A bankruptcy attorney is not a family attorney, like he lead me to believe.

This attorney knows nothing about Family Law! It took 6 months - 20k and this guy had managed to send a 100 letters back in forth my ex's attorney; of course we where no closer to a property settlement. But we had argued through our attorneys about stuff that meant nothing in court.

Being an attorney he should have told us NJ is a no fault and moved to the property settlement and custody order. I had to retain a second attorney and spend another 10k to get a simple divorce with no assets and 1 kid.

Accepted my retainer, but did virtually no work on my case, which was time-critical. It took many emails and phone calls, and threat of filing a formal grievance, for me to get even part of my retainer back.

Seriously competent lawyer for when you need help.
