Jacqueline M. Caputo

Partner

Jacqueline M. Caputo was admitted to the New York State Bar over 20 years ago, in January 2004, and has concentrated on matrimonial law throughout most of her career. Jacqueline’s reputation, both as a skilled litigator and as a very smart, highly regarded and superior mediator brought her to the attention of the partners at Joseph Law Group, P.C. many years ago. Recognizing that her skills and core values aligned with the firm’s, they regularly referred mediations and collaborative matters to her and always received great feedback from those clients. Since joining Joseph Law Group, P.C. Jacqueline has been able to focus exclusively on Alternative Dispute Resolution methods for divorce including both mediation and collaborative law.

Jackie Caputo: A Passion and Talent for Matrimonial Law

Jacqueline began her career at a general practice firm, where she remained for nearly 2 decades before joining Joseph Law Group, P.C. It was during her early years at that firm when Jacqueline discovered her passion and talent for matrimonial law and, as a result, pioneered that firm’s entrance into this practice area. Her reputation and the results she obtained allowed her to quickly build that department so that, before long, she handled nothing other than matrimonial and family law matters.

A Focus on Mediation and Collaborative Divorce Resolutions

Although Jacqueline initially showed an interest in journalism, it was not until moving into law that she felt truly fulfilled in her career. Her interest in matrimonial law comes from her deep-seated desire to help families by minimizing much of the emotional trauma that often accompanies a litigated divorce. It is her unwavering belief that the ending of marriage should be an opportunity for each party to grow and become happier and healthier.

When there are children, and when appropriate, she believes divorce should be treated as a “reorganization of a family” rather than an opportunity to exact vengeance on one another or to “right the wrongs” of the past. To that end, Jacqueline focuses her practice on mediation and collaboration law, recognizing that these methods can often help restore peace to families and provide a clear path for the future.

Being a wife and mother to two sons is Jacqueline’s greatest joy and personal fulfillment. She enthusiastically cheers them on, coaching and playing on the football field, and in all their endeavors.
