I spoke and hired Joe on a Saturday and was in court with me that Monday. He is very respectful and knows what he is doing. Takes his time to talk to you. I feel confident with having him as my attorney for my divorce case. He came highly recommended. I can see why. Thank you. Year and half later just getting my divorce and custody papers I been texting and calling to go over the orders with Joe and can’t get him on the phone. Communication I feel could have been a lot better. Also believed I would be getting back some of my money from my ex as I was told but put myself in debt took from my children as a single mother to protect my children. My Daughter was pushed into visits from a father who never seen her why went to court and now I’m dealing with a heartbreaking child now that he has not seen her in months but we got joint custody. So I’ll have to go back to court for that and he is not paying support and I have no idea what to do as court order is hard to understand and wish I could get a call back to go over it for five minutes. Was told to put my child in therapy smh mean while she has been before I even went to court from the inconsistency of her father in her life. I mentioned it many times that she was. I really liked Joe but I don’t think my daughter’s best interest was in mind here and communication needs to be worked on. I get have a lot of clients but for paying I feel like I shouldn’t be ignored for months. I hate to leave negative reviews but this hurt me and my children. But I’m so happy to be divorced from this man. I been asking what it would take to go back for full custody as he does not use any of his parental rights and said he won’t pay no court order support. But no response. Me doing supervised visits to a man who mentally abused me and my family for years when mental health team said he should be paying Someone. I lost out of paying all attorney fees myself and taking off days all summer to be available for visits he didn’t use. Just little disappointed. I really had higher hopes

Joe is the real deal. He represented me on a criminal case and I trusted him with my life — I'd do it again without hesitation. He's honest and straightforward: tells you exactly where you stand, no sugarcoating, no games. He's not like a lot of lawyers out here who just want you to cop out and take a deal — Joe will actually fight for you. He knows the law inside and out, but what sets him apart is that he genuinely cares. He's compassionate, he fights for regular people and real justice, and he's not just chasing a paycheck. He worked with me on price because he understood what I was going through — my life mattered more to him than money. I recommend him to my friends all the time and I've referred quite a few people to him — if I can trust him with my life, I can trust him with theirs. Joe's also representing me now on a civil case where a Mercedes dealer tried to take advantage of me — he's going to fight for me, the regular working man, against the big machine. If you ever need a lawyer who'll go to war for you and treat you like a person, call Joe. Tell him I sent you.

I terminated Mr. Gulino’s services in my family court case due to serious concerns about communication, preparation, and handling of my case. He initially promised a flat fee including trial but later attempted to charge hourly after I ended representation. After I terminated him, he insisted on a Zoom meeting to review billing rather than sending a final invoice promptly.
During representation, I experienced delays in communication, and when I raised questions, he became defensive and displayed a hostile demeanor. In my experience, he did not review key reports with me, leaving me to address critical issues on my own. He was often unprepared for court, failed to submit required documents, missed deadlines, and did not consistently explain strategy or options, which left me unsure about important decisions. He also demonstrated a lack of sensitivity toward domestic violence victims. These concerns were observed and corroborated by my court advocates.
The files he ultimately sent me are limited and include materials I provided to him, and do not reflect the work he was paid to perform. I will be filing a complaint with the Bar and the attorney arbitration program. Anyone seeking representation should ensure clear fees, timely communication, thorough preparation, and professional conduct.
***in response to Mr. Gulino’s comments, I disagree with Mr. Gulino’s characterization of events portrayed in his response which he publicly disclosed details about my case. My concerns regarding communication, billing, and representation have been submitted to both the attorney disciplinary authorities and fee arbitration for review. I will allow those processes to speak for themselves.

Review for Divorce Lawyer Joseph
I want to start by saying that I wouldn’t wish divorce on anyone. It's a difficult process, akin to the end of a significant relationship, which brings about its own set of emotions and challenges reminiscent of the grieving process. However, I can say with complete confidence that Joseph was a beacon of support throughout my entire divorce journey.
From the very beginning to the end, Joseph was incredibly helpful. He understands that a divorce is not just a legal procedure; it involves sensitive emotions and can be a significant financial burden. Joseph took care of everything from A to Z, alleviating the stress that often accompanies such proceedings. I didn’t have to worry about the back-and-forth, financial strain, or any custody issues with my ex-wife. His representation allowed me to avoid the typical headaches associated with divorce, and I didn’t experience the deep depression that many endure during such transitions.
Thanks to Joseph, I was able to maintain a regular life and focus on my career and my son. He made this challenging time more manageable, enabling me to be the best version of myself while navigating the divorce. I sincerely believe that without his expertise and support, I would have faced a very different reality.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Joseph to anyone facing a divorce. While I wish people could find a way to stay together, if divorce is inevitable, Joseph is the lawyer you want by your side. He is fair, professional, and his track record speaks for itself. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing a similar situation—he truly is the best in the business.

I hired Mr. Gulino for a couple of cases. One big one not to big, but both was handled with the respect and professionalism from the beginning to the end. He’s great with getting back to you with updates or to answer questions by phone. Text and email. I have already referred a few of my friends and family to Mr. Gulino. Highly recommended.

This lawyer failed me & a good friend HORRIBLY. Not only in family court but in criminal. Almost 5k down the drain throughout the past few years! Go in a different direction if you want GOOD representation and DONT waste your money! He would barely answer phone calls or texts as well as show up to court very late or not at all. A public defender would’ve done a better job! Not only did he make me plea to a charge that I shouldn’t have originally pled to in new paltz but it Opened up a domino effect and he didn’t know how to handle it. Even the District attorney from the town of wawarsing said I should’ve gotten a better lawyer and that Joseph failed me. Regardless, his response to this review doesn’t matter, The truth is what it is.

One of the most impressive things about working with Joe was their accessibility—anytime I had a question or concern, he was quick to respond with clear and helpful advice. I never felt in the dark or unsure about what was happening in my case.
His attention to detail was remarkable, and their preparation for each phase was thorough, leaving no stone unturned. It was clear he had a genuine investment in achieving the best possible outcome for me, and his determination paid off.
