I firmly believe in giving credit where credit is due. Chris Musulin and his team are top notch! Choosing a divorce attorney can be one most important decisions you make in your life.

All the way through the process I felt that we could totally put our trust in his hands and the outcome was better than I could have ever hoped or expected! Thank you. We are forever grateful!

I worked with Attorney Christina Fulton Groves on a very delicate case. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease and knew she would be the one to guide me entirely through a very difficult process. She was compassionate, professional, responsive and diligent. I am so thankful for the thorough communication every step of the way. Never did I doubt her abilities or knowledge of the matter. She was such a blessing to me and my family.

Chris and the entire team are nothing short of amazing. I cant express my level of gratitude in words for what this firm has done for me.. Chris and his amazing team helped a door open in my life that was closed for way to long. Honest, compassionate and integrous are only a few words that describe the Musulin law firm. Thank you Chris, Pam, Kelly and Christine for all of you hard work and diligence in my matter. May God continue to bless your firm and all of the folks you so graciously help!!!!

Mr. Musulin and his staff greatly helped me thru my divorce in 2019. Mr. Musulin is highly knowledgeable along with his staff, they answered all the questions I had throughout the whole process. They were always available and responded quickly to all my needs. I feel my divorce would have turned out much differently if I had not used Mr. Musulin and his great staff. They made a difficult time much easier. Thank you!

DO NOT hire Kourtney Borcher terrible counselor. There are so many complaints it would take up so much space to list. Over charges fees. DO NOT HIRE KOURTNEY BORCHER she is unprofessional.

I hope I never have to go through the pain of a divorce again. However, if I did, I would never select Weinberger law firm even if the retainer was free. My initial meeting with Kourtney I thought I made the right decision with selecting my attorney. She had crystals placed on her desk which I recently got into since separating from my husband. Once the legal process started, I began to experiment the lack of urgency and slowness to respond from Kourtney. I would make it very clear in my emails when I needed a response. I understood I was not Kourtney’s only client. Once my ex-husband responded to the divorce petition it was discovered his attorney and Kourtney worked together. The way these two women went back and forth with each other were unprofessional and quite embarrassing. I had to tell Kourtney to please not copy me on these emails as it is not good for my mental health. I had only been married for 3.5 years which the divorce took a little over a year. I was so happy to not only put an end to this divorce from my ex but to also be done with my attorney. The divorce hearing came up rather fast which I thought. Unbeknownst to me, Kourtney and her paralegal had been in discussions with potential dates with opposing counsel. However, they failed to let me know. I am so glad to have this chapter behind me and not have to deal with this law firm and my ex!

Natalie Wentz has helped me battle a Narcissist Ex since 2012 and I ONLY trust her. Natalie is a well known honest and respected attorney and always has her clients best interests. I believed in her and trusted her methods and in the end she was always right.

I called on 10/16/20 and made an appointment for a consultation for a family law matter. When I researched them I found them to be what I thought I was looking for. I was very wrong. I made the appointment for 10/22 @ 4pm. I received multiple reminder emails about the appointment. I left early from work on the day of the appointment so I could make sure I was home and could give them my full attention. I had notes and questions so I could be efficient with there time as I knew this was a free consultation. Needless to say 4pm came and went without a phone call or any type of communication whatsoever. I decided to call there office and see if the lawyer I was told would be calling was available. The receptionist was short and and not helpful. I told her why I was calling and she just said I will connect you with her voicemail. I left a message and still never received a call or any type of reason why I was completely ignored. I am now left with scrambling to try and schedule with another firm and try to get the help I need. I guess there to busy to keep there appointments or at least reschedule them. Very unprofessional.

Theresa was my attorney. During my process she wasnt just a lawyer she was a friend. She cared about my family "my boys" just as much as I did. When I felt down like I didn't have a chance she was reassuring, confident and empathetic. Hopefully I never have to go through this process again, but if I did I would never in a million years use a different attorney. She won my case and my heart.

I would highly recommend Amy Smith as an EXCELLENT attorney. She's straight forward, fair and incredibly knowledgeable. #1 all around!

Michael Weinberg is the greatest divorce attorney I could have hoped for, bar none (pun intended!) After wasting a year and lots of money on a totally incompetent attorney, I was referred to Michael. From the first day until the last, Michael used all of his extensive knowledge, experience and legal acumen to ensure that I received the best settlement possible. Despite the fact that my ex resorted to every underhanded tactic imaginable to destroy me, Michael set an extremely high bar by example for me on how to conduct myself during the proceedings. I chose to take the higher road every time, thanks to Michael. He and his firm were a godsend to me. I have a life today beyond my wildest dreams, in large part thanks to Michael and his tireless, extraordinary skills and competence. He is not only a fantastic attorney, but one of the best people I have ever known. Anyone can consider themselves extremely fortunate to have Michel Weinberg represent them. I know I was, and am eternally grateful.

This firm is excellent. Jill and Amy are great and personable. They really helped me through a very difficult time in my life. They made the process seamless and easy. They always have your best interest in mind. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone. If you're looking for a firm that really cares about you and is willing to help you through a difficult time than these two are who you need to see. They will always make sure you understand everything and always answer your questions that you may have. Definitely look no further in hiring this firm to represent you. You will not regret it.

I was referred to the firm and was taken under Dawn Kaplan's and Allison Burkhardt's wings, for my tumultuous divorce,. My ex-wife wanted to relocate and take our kids away from me because she thought she had the right to. Dawn and Allison are brilliant strategist, taking their time to explain what is happening, and both are truly vested in your interest. This firm worked with me hand and hand always responded to calls and emails. They were on top of every move. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ms. Smith and her team at Weinberg, Kaplan & Smith provided exceptional quality service. The support and professionalism throughout this process kept me reassured. I always felt Ms. Smith and her team were invested in my case. They were always quick to respond, easily accessible and patient when explaining the details. Ms. Smith is smart, thorough, in short an excellent attorney in the area of family law.

Jeff was incredibly informative, knowledgeable and patient with me. Not only did he provide me with the information I was looking for, he also took the time to make sure every question I had was answered. It is clear that he cares about his clients beyond the realm of obligation. He is incredibly kind and down to earth and made me feel extremely comfortable. Not only an amazing lawyer, but clearly an incredibly decent human being, which is hard to come by today.

I spoke with Jeff Horn in regards to my issue. He was beyond pleasant and helpful. He took his time and informed me that pursuing legal action may not be in my best interest and pointed me in the direction that would better suit my needs. I honestly can not say enough nice things as he is just a genuinely nice, good person. Thank you so much Jeff! I highly recommend him!

Mr. Horn was very professional and empathetic with my case, regarding my divorce. I believe he has my best interest at heart and was willing to help right away. I would Recommend this law firm to others going through a divorce or family matter.

My husband and I recently called Jeff Horn to speak about a custody issue. He is the only lawyer who took the time to hear us completely out give us fair pricing and make us hopeful with our next steps. We will be using this law firm with any legal matters in the future.

Mr. Horn was extremely helpful and informative. He answered all of my questions. He was honest with his answers and explained the process very clearly. He is very professional and kind. Would highly recommend.

I live in northern B.C. Canada and Agnes was well prepared, professional and handled my NJ child support case with care and attention. I think it was the fastest ruling she ever had! Would highly recommend her and her staff. Thanks

EVERYONE WAS HELPFUL AND MADE A EFFORT TO RESPOND TO ALL OUR CONCERNS

Don't waste your money here she will not go against the judges for you in ocean county family court, she works with them get an attorney out of toms river. Mrs. Rybar responded to my review with a lie she said a free consultation she charged me 100$ dollars for a half hour consultation. Do the math! That's not FREE Lawyers can't trust them, I'm just being honest. If your a father don't go here!

Agnes, complimented by her staff, excelled with handling my divorce motion. I had previously submitted a similar motion to the court; which was denied in every facet. Agnes demonstrated aggressiveness in submitting to the court several prior rulings that supported my motion and was accepted by the court. These were fundamental as part of the favorable decision on my motion. Additional, garbled financial information was analyzed and presented to further enhance the decision. Agnes and her team were prompt in responding to my advisory petitions to the court and countered sustaining my motion statements. When the matter was sent to an arbitrator, the “Give and Take” was most favorable to my motion Agnes and her staff consistently excelled in handling all facets of my divorce proceedings. Tom Fitzmaurice Jr.

Agnes and her team worked with me threw probably one of the worst time in my life and was able to help me to get Joint custody of my 2year old daughter. It was a very ruff year not only for me but for my daughter as well and they helped me so much and I’m so great full how everything has turned out. It took some time and they were very patient with dealing with me during a challenging time. Again I would definitely recommend Agnes Rybar for anyone dealing with any Family related issues. Thank You so very much.

Amy is the most unprofessional attorney that I have worked with. Furthermore, after she did not win her case she had her staff use fake email addresses to post negative reviews about my firm. I would strongly advise any potential client in need of legal services to look elsewhere. She comes off as someone that is on your side and when things do not go her way, look out. She forces her team to do unprofessional tasks in order to punish those who do not go along with her demands. She is unstable and an abrasive person.

I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case. All of the staff are kind and courteous. Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, took the time to explain all the steps of my case, and always made herself available anytime I had questions or needed her support on a matter.

Amy Cores took my alimony case with great professionalism and a very positive attitude. She explained every step of the way and was very sensitive to my needs. I highly recommend Cores & Associates.

Amy proved to be a very valuable partner in my international child custody case.

    Amy is the most unprofessional attorney that I have worked with. Furthermore, after she did not win her case she had her staff use fake email addresses to post negative reviews about my firm. I would strongly advise any potential client in need of legal services to look elsewhere. She comes off as someone that is on your side and when things do not go her way, look out. She forces her team to do unprofessional tasks in order to punish those who do not go along with her demands. She is unstable and an abrasive person.

    I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case. All of the staff are kind and courteous. Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, took the time to explain all the steps of my case, and always made herself available anytime I had questions or needed her support on a matter.

She played an important role in the successful resolution of my issue, and I highly recommend her.

Wonderful experience! My lead attorney and the whole team was so helpful. They kept me up to date with all proceedings and assisted me with questions I had. I never felt like just a "case", they got to know me and that much reduced my anxiety. I would strongly recommend the firm to anyone.

Rachel helped us through each step of what we needed, from the first call to our last, we were always kept in the loop and up to date. She is an incredible professional that helped our family and we'd gladly recommend her to anyone that will listen.

I found Weinberger Divorce and Family through a website search. Jennifer and team helped me make positive contact with my ex wife. We were able to work out a settlement that worked for us both. Thanks Jennifer and team for your help and advice. Dominick Catena

Joe Defino is the most knowledgeable family law attorney that I have ever had the pleasure to represent me. He truly cares about your situation. His courtroom demeanor and presentation is phenomenal. His negotiating skills are second to none. If you are in need of a Divorce or Family Law Attorney, there is no one better !

I strongly recommend Frank LaRocca as a Family Law attorney (although I would and will hire him for any area in which he practices as needed) with the utmost integrity, intelligence, knowledge of the law, sharp instincts, ability to understand the complexities of a case and stay focused on what is most important. I put my trust and faith in him and he delivered on every level. He is strong and strategic and his balanced disposition keeps tensions from escalating and the process moving forward. His understanding and compassion went beyond the call of duty and I am forever grateful to him. Because of him, you can expect the best possible settlement in the shortest amount of time. Quite simply, I recommend hiring him without hesitation.

Frank LaRocca knows the law, and from start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism and compassion during one of the most challenging times of my life. What I appreciated most was his no-nonsense approach to my divorce, and he didn't waste my time or my money fighting battles that were never going to be won. He helped me get through the divorce process as quickly and as efficiently as possible, and his advice was always accurate and sound. Sometimes we don't always hear what we want to hear, but Frank tells you what you need to hear.

Frank LaRocca has been my attorney for a decade. Divorce is not an easy process and has many unexpected turns that can be frightening. When divorce was my only option and I referred to Mr. LaRocca office. Not knowing what to expect and honestly scared, his office made me right at ease. They assured me that they would be by my side the entire process and have been true to their word. They tried at first to mediate the process to save us both time, money and heartache. When that wasn’t possible they protected my rights and represented me in every way. They guided me not just through the divorce but gave me sound advice that has helped me personally! Though every mediation, hearing and court appearance, Frank LaRocca has represented me perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for any better representation. At times when I thought things were really bad Franks advice and help has been perfect. I don’t believe I would have had the outcome if I was represented by anyone else. If you find yourself facing a divorce situation or any family issues that require a Lawyer Frank LaRocca and his staff is who you want representing you.

“The best law firm around! Great service and fast!” I have known Frank LaRocca for over 25 years. His approach to law is pragmatic and always kept in its simplest terms. "When a situation seems bad, it's never as bad as it seems" I have been represented better than I could have ever imagined several times over the years getting me through a very messy break-up and ensuing custody battle. . Mine and my children's needs were put first and we were treated as friends rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Frank LaRocca fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!

She was very nice handle my divorce real well she is the real deal just let her work ill recommend her

She was rude on the phone and said she had a 4,000 retainers fee but she said it in a way like I couldnt afford it and she didnt even give us the free consultation. Very rude and I will never hire her . Not everyone is broke

Lois is a unique blend of the consummate professional as well as real & approachable. She kept my interests and the interests of our children in mind at all times. There is no substitute for experience at a time like this and Lois certainly has plenty of it. I was of course, quite concerned about the outcome of this process, since our children were at the heart of the situation. We wanted a smooth, fair process. Well, we got that and much more. The outcome was everything we had planned for. She is easy to reach and responded quickly at all times. I very highly recommend Lois Schwartz.

Lois is not only straight forward in explaining what you can truly expect to happen, she will also guide you and show you how to get the best possible outcome possible. Never once did she mislead us in our very long and tumultuous custody case Lois is not only respectable and honest, she cares about her clients and is extremely sympathetic to what they are going through. I highly recommend Lois to anyone in need of an excellent attorney.

Lois, represents my godson with a child visitation/custody issue. (I went with my godson for moral support. Unfortunately, he was blindsided by his ex's infidelity, after being together for 15 yrs. The two of them have one child 1st grade age. I had a similar issue with custody and visitation, in the mid 90's, when my ex wanted total control, like his does, regardless of how our children were to be affected.) We were both skeptical about him having a female attorney represent him. Pleasantly, we both learned quickly, how wrong we both were. Lois, is smart, tough and if you have a child involved, their best advocate is having her fighting for you and your child. Regardless of what nonsense has been dished out to my godson, from his ex, Lois, has been able to successfully handle and move forward with a good plan in response. Also, Lois has advised him with a good plan for a future matter. I like Lois's years of experience. She's able to review what you present to her and then explain the law, your rights and then formulates a good plan. We started off skeptical and gained respect for her. Additionally, we've come to genuinely like her as a person. Although Lois is straight to the point, she has no issue with reassuring you, without babying you. Due to her experience, she has really seen and dealt with it all and can provide her honest assessment of what you're dealing with. I like that she is a fighter who doesn't see gender. Regardless, if you're male or female, I truly believe she only cares about the child involved. If you're wrong, she'll tell you. However, she will explain why you're in error, through the eyes of the law. This is something you need in an emotional time, like separation, visitation/custody. You need to have knowledge where you stand so you can make good decisions for your child and yourself. Having Lois explain how the Court will review certain actions, you sit there and realize what she is saying makes total sense. Due to emotions running high because of these circumstances, its easy to lose focus. Lois, doesn't hold your hand, and believe me you don't want her to, she'll stand right next to you the whole way making sure, the best she can the nonsense stops. You want someone who is smart, experienced and able to apply the law and then be able to explain in layman's terms to you. Leaving you to be able to understand exactly what she means and how she would like to proceed. Lois, doesn't waste time either. When you contact her, she will return communications promptly. Additionally, the first time my godson and I met her, she was going to write a letter to send to his ex. The first draft was in his email by the time we arrived back to his home an hour later. Lois truly impressed the both of us after our first meeting. This woman is on point and I bet in court can spin circles around others with less experience. (Thankfully, my godson hasn't had to deal with a judge. However, we're both confident if he does have to appear before a judge, Lois is the only attorney he wants fighting for him and his child.) If you're trying to decide who to get to represent you with a Family Court issue, Lois, is who you want on your side, especially, if their is a child involved. Try and have your facts prepared, not just your emotions. If too emotional, wait until you're able to calm down and present your issues. Otherwise, will take longer for Lois to understand what issues you're really concerned with. Answer her questions, listen to her and let her formulate a plan with you, for whats best for your child and yourself. Lois, includes you with every step she takes. If you want to change something Lois has written in a draft communication, or add to the communication, she's more than accommodating, as to allow you to be understood and heard. If you do choose Lois as your attorney, you too will not be disappointed. With her experience and knowledge, Lois is a formidable opponent to your ex and whomever their attorney is.
