Mr. DiPaula’s practice includes representation in personal matters, in small business matters, civil litigation, and criminal defense. He has experience handling cases in nearly all District and Circuit Courts in the State.

    I have know Tony for over 30 years. We clerked for the same Judge after law school. Tony is an outstanding attorney and is deserving of Martindale's highest rating.
