Joseph Paletta exceeded all expectations. He got my DUI case dismissed! Very professional and he knows his stuff. Great communication. Look no further!

I am normally not one for posting reviews but I feel compelled to comment on my experience with Joseph Paletta. I recently encountered a legal problem through a combination of bad luck and stupidity on my part. Mr. Paletta accepted my case with a pragmatic approach without embarrassment in the process. He explained the process I was to encounter in layman’s terms each step of the way. This was extremely helpful in reducing my anxiety. The result was the best possible outcome that could have occurred under the circumstances. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Paletta if you find yourself needing a good attorney.

I am not one for writing reviews, but I felt that the service I receive deserved to be acknowledged. I am a registered nurse who was employed for over 3 years at the same facility. One day I’m employed at a job a loved, the next day my license was suspended. I had a difficult time in my life in 2002, I got into some trouble which resulted in a misdemeanor possession charge. I did not tell the nursing board and on June 9th 2015 I received a notification that my license was suspended because of the incident in 2002. I was devastated. I called the lawyer who represented me at that time and he made some calls and suggested that I talk to attorney Paletta because he was told that attorney Paletta was the best lawyer to negotiate with the nursing board. I was looking at a 3 year to an indefinite suspension and attorney Paletta was relentless and I ended up with a one year suspension and probation with no restrictions on my license. Thinking of what could have been I am very grateful for attorney Paletta’s help and skillful negotiation. I am now employed at a reputable hospital and starting over without anything behind me to worry about.

My DUI case could have cost me my career, a year without driving privileges, and a criminal stain on my permanent record. Instead, Attorney Paletta helped me through it and got me into the ARD program, which equates to 2 months without a license, and automatic expungement at the end of a short probation period. In the end, my employer never found out about it, and my DUI will be removed from my record shortly. Attorney Paletta was very nice to work with - considerate, empathetic, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone in Allegheny County with a DUI case. He has the experience, knows the legal community in Pittsburgh, and is a pleasure to work with.
