I do not know where to begin to express my gratitude for Riordan Family law firm. Especially Amy. She is a person devoted to her work. She is very responsive and one of a kind. Before I came across Amy, I had already reached out to other law firms. I am happy to say I made a great decision in having Amy represent me. She took to the time to listen and carefully look at my case. She let me vent without judgement and let me express my feelings and where I was coming from. Whenever I had doubt or questions about my case whether it was child support or visitation rights, Amy was right there to answer and inform me of all pros and cons. no sugar coating anything. Amy is someone who is up front and you can definitely count on. She cares for the well being of her clients and will go that extra mile. If I were to ever need representation, I know exactly who I would call without hesitation. THANK YOU AMY for that you do!!!

This is my 2nd review for this firm because another thing was filed from the other side that had to be addressed. Amy and her team, in no short order, wiped the courtroom floor with the adversary's crocodile tears. Every single thing that was proposed from the other side was denied outright. In addition, Amy and her firm were able to successfully have attorney's fees awarded for the previous issue and awarded more now this most recent one this past week. Every case is different, but I can state without reservation that she and her team have been exceedingly successful defending my position and attacking on my behalf. Results. Period.

With this firm, you not only get technically sound advice, you get a trust advisor who will walk you through one of the most difficult times of your life. Supportive. Coaching. Focused. Fair and respectful. Years after, the feeling of gratitude is still present and I would refer anyone to seek Catherine and team for services.

Catherine Riordan is an exceptional lawyer. She helped me through a difficult case. She put me at ease as she was very knowledgeable and knew how to handle each obstacle as it arose. I strongly recommend Ms. Riordan.

Amy first represented us three years ago through a difficult legal battle that lasted almost a year. Then, when issues arose again this year, she was there to help us through. She always has not only our best interests in mind, but also the best interests of the kids. She is a straight shooter who tells it like it is and does not just tell you what you want to hear. Amy will be honest about your situation and openly explain all possible options so that you can make an educated decision on how you want to proceed with your process. She is responsive to all inquiries and thorough in her work. She does not fit the mold of a stereotypical lawyer who is just out to make money. She really cares and will work hard to get you a resolution as quickly as possible. Most importantly for us, she became our friend, always asking how we were doing (and genuinely caring about our answer, not just asking as a pleasantry) and loving on our babies over these past few years. We very highly recommend Amy ????

I had a child custody case to resolve, and Raquel Vallejo provided excellent counsel to a favorable judgment for me. In fact, even the judge complimented Raquel on the thorough brief provided that made the case so much easier for him to process, research and provide a favorable judgment on.

Dianna Cavaliere was an amazing lawyer who became my greatest advocate from the very first day we met and continued on through what can best be described as an extremely difficult divorce which found us litigating through some very complex issues.Dianna was my rock and in the end she helped my family resolve our issues after 3 long years.I cannot post this review without also recognizing Dianna’s legal assistant Cynthia Reeves whom acted equally as my advocate and made herself available whenever I had questions or concerns.

This office is burning your money. Everything is money. I have this office to do my simple divorce case we just need to sign that’s. It changed over $5000. Unbelievable. This is my mistake to choose this office.

Samantha was professional and knowledgeable. Great team at the Weinberger Law group!

I cannot express my level of Gratitude to Bari, her colleagues and this FIRM! A level of professionalism which I rarely see these days in business. Passionate, empathetic and a level of knowledge of New Jersey Divorce Case Law that catapulted my cause. I was completely shaken, broken and destined to lose so much regarding my child custody situation. I just thought I hit a dead end. I was referred to Bari and from the moment we first talked I was completely transformed. Her ability to break my case down into a means I could completely understand and then lay out paths of options which we could choose to take TOGETHER gave me incredible confidence, relaxation and faith. I was able to continue with my daily life knowing that this part of it was completely in good hands. In preparation for trial I was 100 percent involved and in "the loop." During the trial I had complete confidence I was being represented with my and my children's best interest in her and her firms heart at all times. I experienced resounding results and this has changed my life. I cannot thank Bari and her staff enough. And in such, I cannot recommend them at any higher level.

If I could give this group many more stars, I would. I have been represented by Ms Marcie Kuttner Werner through a very ugly divorce. Her solid knowledge paired with calm demeanor and excellent negotiating skills, have always made me know I will get all my rights. Even after signing a settlement, she has stayed responsive every time I reach out and is working hard to ensure all the details of the settlement are executed. The firm generally, is equally professional, responsive and their first priority remains to be helping their clients. THANK YOU

Aretsky Law Group (specifically Natalie Capano) did an excellent job helping me navigate through a complex divorce process. They kept it simple and low cost. I would recommend them highly.

Eric and his team are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and capable attorneys who made the process easy to navigate, understand and manageable. I highly recommend Aretsky Law Group

My experience with Eric as an attorney was genuinely pleasurable. Eric's expertise in litigation, and personable attributes made the litigation of my case go over with ease. Eric was always punctual and went above and beyond my expectations in getting my case settled. Eric operated openly with regards to communicating with me and was professional beyond a doubt. Eric's assistance with my litigations was priceless. I strongly recommend using Eric Aretski for any of your personal litigation needs. I am also certain that he would make an excellent and valuable addition to any law firm seeking a personable, professional, ambitious, and relaible attorney.

I had a very tough divorce case and Eric took control and made the best of a very difficult situaiton. I would highly recommend Eric Aretsky for any type of matirmonial litigation.

To sum up the experience, see timeline below: Scheduled an appoint 3 days ago==>Never received a call at that scheduled time==>Called the firm 15 minutes later ==>Put on hold for 5 minutes==transferred to "Julie"?==>Explained to Julie that I requested/expected to consult with Tanya==Transferred back to secretary, who tells me that Tanya is not available for a call for another 2 weeks!!==>Decided to recuse myself to seek other counsel This is not good business practice. Why does is feel like I had to chase or that I am an inconvenience when seeking your services? Attorneys are high ticket service providers yet they act like they are doing you a favor. What really made me decide to write this post was the fact that her secretary Janae had the audacity to tell me that I should've been specific that I wanted to speak with Tanya (even though I reached out to Tanya through her website and reiterated to Janae that I was calling to consult with Tanya). Overall: I would give no stars for lack of accountability, professionalism, and consideration of my time.

Tanya and her team are AMAZING! My first Attorney was a disaster and I thought I'd lose everything in my divorce. Once Tanya took over my case, I always knew were we in the process and it was handled with such professionalism. Best of all, I didn't lose everything at the end of the day! Thank you Tanya!

I was down and depressed!feeling hopeless until I spoke to Tanya she is so amazing and a caring wonderful person.She took the time out to guide me threw the proper steps to further push the issue in getting me help to start my process.When the time comes for me to proceed with my process she will definitely be the one representing me.I have chosen the right Woman to help me,And you should chose her as well you will not be disappointed ........ Thanks soooooooo much Tanya

Tanya was just as advertised, she was smart, attentive, aggressive in court and her staff was very friendly. She is very expensive but I thought the fee was more than worth it and I received what I paid for. I hope not to be in family court again but if I am, I will want Tanya by my side.

So happy I hired Tanya and her team. My husband’s attorney was extremely aggressive, he was having an affair and I feared he was hiding assets.  Tanya put my mind at ease and walked me through the process every step of the way.  We uncovered money I didn’t know about and she and her team secured my financial future so I can move on past my divorce.  They were responsive, competent, and aggressive when it counted.  I am forever grateful

I engaged Tanya to resolve an alimony dispute. After using a number of different lawyers over the years, I feel I finally found a lawyer was focused on getting me the best result and was truly my advocate. She went above and beyond in pursuing my case and even moved it forward when I thought it was hopeless. Her knowledge of the law and ability to present a persuasive argument to the judge were impressive. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone.

I retained Tanya to assist with a high conflict co-parenting situation. Tanya and her dedicated staff are highly professional, diligent, and effective. This firm has helped me acheive a level of peace in my life I hadn't had in many years. I highly recommend!

My experience with Helfand & Associates was very good and I can strongly recommend this firm to any person needing assistance with bankruptcy. I felt very nervous, and ashamed, to find myself needing these services. However, Ms. Helfand was reassuring and professional, and my case was handled smoothly. The fee that I was quoted up front was the total amount I paid. Ms. Helfand's associate who attended court with me was also a very personable and competent attorney who made me feel as comfortable as I could be in those circumstances. The support staff at Helfand are very helpful and followed up with me consistently throughout the process, keeping me on track.

I retained Tanya for my divorce which ended up being quite contentious. She was incredibly professional during a very difficult time and always provided a sound strategy. I used her until I moved out of state for our ongoing custody disputes.

Very responsive and personalized service. Always looking out for the best interest of their clients.

What a great experience from the first call to the office of Jacobs Berger to the final outcome. Thanks, Holly Friedland for managing this situation seamlessly as always! She is not only great at what she does but has compassionate professionalism in difficult emotional situations. It is refreshing to have a lawyer that assesses, finds a solution and then gets it done without wasted unnecessary time or money.

Jacobs Berger is an excellent firm with a professional and responsive team. Amy Miller, Esq. personally, quickly, and thoughtfully responded to all of my questions and concerns, showing she makes her clients a top priority. When you need answers during a stressful time, when you need to be confident you are making an informed choice, you can rely on Jacobs Berger to help you through important family decisions.

Divorces are complex and costly, even under ideal circumstances and clients need representation to navigate the law while in an emotional charged situation.  As their client I found the firm of Jacobs Berger to be knowledgeable, pragmatic and responsive.  The firm's operations make full use of technology to deliver top notch legal services in a timely and above all cost effective manner, never leaving the client in the dark or left to follow up.  I highly recommend.

If one ever finds themselves in need of a family lawyer, Jacobs Berger is the firm to call. I cannot thank Sarah enough for the professionalism and compassion with which she handled my case. Sarah and her team were always responsive and made the time necessary to work through the issues presented in my extremely contentious divorce, including custody and finances. They were also as sensitive as possible to the bottom line, without cutting a single corner. I am a lawyer with over 20 years of litigation experience and, objectively, there were many aspects of my case that went far outside the lines of normal court proceedings. Sarah met that challenge head-on, and managed to remain a steady, professional presence, bringing things back on track when they had gone sideways. Sarah, Jamie and Amy always took the time to explain every step of the process and the pros and cons of choices I would have to make, and were never dismissive of questions or ideas that I proposed. In the end, thanks to Sarah’s efforts, my case was resolved in a way that my kids are safe and my family’s financial needs are met. I highly recommend Jacobs Berger for anyone who needs a family lawyer in New Jersey.

We hired Jacobs and Berger to legally adopt my step-son and we couldn't be happier. Amanda was amazing and got us all the results we could have hoped for. Our family is now officially complete and we all share the same last name. Please note that this wasn't an easy task because this was completed during the peak of covid, however, Amanda delivered and we completed the adoption proceedings via Zoom. Awesome firm and awesome staff. We would highly recommend this firm.

In the end, thanks to Sarah’s efforts, my case was resolved in a way that my kids are safe and my family’s financial needs are met. I highly recommend Jacobs Berger for anyone who needs a family lawyer in New Jersey.

    We hired Jacobs and Berger to legally adopt my step-son and we couldn't be happier. Amanda was amazing and got us all the results we could have hoped for. Our family is now officially complete and we all share the same last name. Please note that this wasn't an easy task because this was completed during the peak of covid, however, Amanda delivered and we completed the adoption proceedings via Zoom. Awesome firm and awesome staff. We would highly recommend this firm.

Dennis Shlionsky represented me in a rear end accident in South Amboy. The insurance company denied responsibility for my injuries because my car had minor damage. That’s when I called Dennis and I’m glad I did. Dennis was an excellent lawyer. He was always there for me at anytime I ever had any questions regarding my case. He was a major help from the second he took my case. I felt confident and comfortable with everything he did for me. Dennis is there to help you and make sure that you are aware of all that is going on and is thinking of your best interests at every turn. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him to anyone that had suffered an accident or needs an attorney.

I came to Snyder Sarno in need of a strong attorney. I could not have made a better decision, Angelo and his team worked wonders with my case. They were extremely responsive, they walked me through things and held my hand throughout the case. Communication was always extremely transparent and from the beginning they helped me to understand what to expect. I have nothing but good things to say. I would highly recommend this firm for any Divorce and Family matters.

Michael Weil is unethical. He lies in behalf of his client. He manipulates judges inappropriately. Absolutely disgraceful.

It's a great atmosphere and the staff is always kind. They really have "direct access" as their priority and it definitely shows.

Very helpful and professional. Joe Maceri is great

Denise helped me through my divorce and listened to me carefully. She always looked out for my best interest and explained things to me with great patience. I was on a budget and she really did her best to accommodate. I recommend her highly!

Every negative belief you have about lawyers will go right out the door the first time you meet Denise. I met her at the lowest point in my life and she helped me navigate and put the pieces back together and come out a whole person. I can not say enough good things here. If you are clueless where to start the divorce process and you want someone kind and compassionate to walk you through it then call Wennogle Law and ask for Denise!

Wennogle Law, LLC was the most wonderful experience during a hard time. Mrs. Wennogle, Denise, is kind, caring, professional and will always tell you what you need to hear about the situation. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of counsel for divorce or family needs. Excellent!

I had a great experience with Mrs Wennogle. As a single dad, its very hard to win a custody case, but with her I won. I have custody of my son and could not be more thankful. It was Mrs Wennogles knowledge of family law, combined with her excellent presence before the judge that won this case. I highly recommend her if you want a competent and knowledgeable lawyer.

I have been working with Mrs. Wennogle for almost two years now and can say, without any hesitation, that she has been professional, honest and completely realistic about the ups and downs of my ongoing custody battle. I trust her opinion and I know that she has my daughter's best interest and well being at the forefront of every decision she makes. This process is never clean or straight forward, and it's not about winning, no matter what your motives or goals are. Mrs. Wennogle has never wavered and continues to look out for me and my daughter--even financially--throughout this unfortunate, but necessary, process. I would recommend her, and have, to anyone who finds themselves in a struggle of this nature.

Too much to even write. Check out the reviews on YELP. Don’t use these guys. No attention to detail. They bill bill bill for every little thing including their poorly written emails. My attorney didn’t listen and was more concerned with his own nuptials than my divorce.

David and his staff made a very strenuous experience a bearable one. David guided me throughout my entire divorce process and was always available or returned my calls in a timely manner. David's knowledge and caring demeanor along side his attentive staff make a true professional firm.

Mr. Salvaggio is definitely the best attorney in Morristown. His expertise over the matrimonial matters and business ethics are truly commendable. He truly cares about his clients and their family in matrimonial matters regardless of his own fee. I have a great respect for Mr. Salvaggio. We need more lawyers like him.

David and his staff did a fantastic job taking a nerve wracking experience and guiding me through all the bits and pieces. Even after my divorce was finalized, they helped me years later when another issue came up that was causing me a lot of confusion. If you want a good team to help get you the best settlement possible, this is the place to go.

Helpful and knowledgeable. Felt very comfortable and confident that we would be in good hands.

It’s been over a year since my divorce and I’m finally ready to write an honest review. I transferred my case to Bobby Epstein (Robert), after my initial lawyer mishandled my case. I had no clue how to get a divorce and I was shocked at how I suddenly felt like I found my personal advocate. He was up against older, established lawyers in Bergen county. His professionalism, expertise, creativity, patience, guidance, respect & ACCESSIBILITY were unmatched. He is well respected by his peers and judges in Bergen County. (I had the opportunity to observe his interactions during “downtime” in court.) He personally handled my case from beginning to end. (My previous firm pawned me off and I felt completely alone and overwhelmed. I could not reach her when an emergency situation came up. I was terrified but thought this is how it works, I guess- until I found Bobby from a friend who had used him.) Bobby truly cares. You are not “just a case”. He is not a “shark” by nature but the teeth come out when necessary. In fact, he is a likeable and compassionate human being who truly wants to help you get out of your marriage as quickly as possible with optimal results for his clients. His knowledge and passion for the law supersedes any ego that seems to hinder many lawyers from providing the quality service of advocacy you deserve (and spending so much money to receive!) Although Bobby is modest by nature he is secure & confident in his knowledge of the law to achieve the best result possible. He is extremely “quick” on his feet, which made me feel confident during mediation & court proceedings. The difficult personalities he encounters on a daily basis do not ruffle his feathers. He was cool as a cucumber yet attentive to my stress and anxieties. He was relentless in his pursuit to achieve the best results possible in the most timely fashion. My divorce took less than a year. MOST IMPORTANTLY, he will personally respond to your calls or emails ASAP!!!!! Thank Gd!!! Hire Bobby Epstein and don’t look back.

I endorse the legal services of Robert "Bobby" Epstein 100%. I am not a friend, classmate, prior acquaintance, neighbor or relative. This is not a paid or fake Internet recommendation. I researched qualified knowledgeable attorneys and asked Bobby to represent me in a complicated matter. Bobby took my case seriously. He threw himself into the research and the brief he filed was meticulously written. He was always very well prepared to present my arguments orally in court. He is mindful of billable hours and will work with you. A lot of lawyers don't care about you as an individual human - Bobby does.

While I had never thought I would be a person getting a divorce, when I knew I had to move forward, I will be eternally grateful that I was referred to Robert (Bobby) Epstein. Bobby was not only compassionate to my situation, but extremely knowledgeable and self assured. As I prepared to make the most difficult decision of my life, I was convinced that I had the right attorney. Sure enough, now that my divorce is behind me, I can look back and say that my legal representation was second to none. I felt confident throughout the entire process that I was receiving the best possible legal representation from an attorney who is tops in his field. I was also extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend Robert Epstein if you must make the difficult decision to file for divorce.

I have had the pleasure of working with Vikki Ziegler and Jonathan Blonstein in the past few years. Both professionally and personally. Having met Vikki initially, she was very kind, caring and patient. I felt she was very down to earth and offered advice on how to help me achieve my goals while being realistic with expectations. I then worked with both Vikki and Jonathan Blonstein who is a bright attorney that brought ideas to the table and was my go to person to contact any time. As a real estate agent, we deal with many divorce and real estate closings. They also offer a closing department which is nice because individuals that might need a total service, can find everything under one roof. Super appreciative of their services and patience.

Ashley Manzi is by far one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with (business, personal, beyond). Her ability to be strategic and laser in on key priorities during the ever so stressful process of getting a divorce was only matched by her EQ and ability to "hear" out and navigate my situation. I would add that her responsiveness and thoughtfulness was incredibly invaluable to arrive at the best possible outcome in an expeditious manner. I just cannot say enough about her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and ability to get stuff done and do the right thing. She's also a lovely person and mom to boot! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.
