Rob was amazing to work with. My aunt passed away and my uncle had questions with how to handle aspects of her estate. Rob provided significant details and steps in working with the surrogate court, information that even Google couldn’t help us locate. I look forward to working with Rob again on my own estate work.

I could write volumes praising Mr. Cofsky. An online review is way too short to describe such an incredible attorney. Mr Cofsky is professional, precise, knowledgeable, dependable...and most importantly incredibly caring. He's an awesome lawyer. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Mr. Cofsky is a very knowledgable and dependable lawyer. He was always very professional with us and worked every avenue to be sure nothing was missed to get our adoption finalized. He and his secretary Denise were awesome the entire time we were going through the process and always answered our calls and explained everything very thoroughly. I would very highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to adopt a child.

Colleen knows our business, plain and simple. This gives her an advantage over lawyers who don't have the inside knowledge she has. She has always been responsive and has acted as a true advocate for us and our business. We put a lot of faith in Colleen as we continue to grow.

Colleen was absolutely fantastic! I am a wedding photographer that needed my contracts revised to the point where I thought I should start from scratch. She looked over my old contract and then build me a new contract. She knew exactly what I wanted and the first rough draft of the new contract she had sent me needed very minimal change. She was very precise with exactly what she was doing and she met all of her promises with delivery. From the time that we started the contract until the delivery she kept in touch with me and told me exactly what was going on and when I can expect the finalized materials. I highly recommend Colleen's services no matter what industry you are in. She's friendly, responsive and very professional.

After having a bad experience was another attorney, I was referred to Casey (Carl Jr.) by a senior care professional to assist me with the care of my parents. From the beginning, I found him to be understanding, knowledgeable, and a passionate advocate for persons in my position, the caregiver for my disabled elderly parents. He has given me a sense of relief with his supportive demeanor and comforting advice. I have and will continue to refer Casey to anyone who finds themselves in the one of the most difficult positions anyone can be in, the caregiver to your love ones.

My Grandmother means the world to me which is why when it was time to transition her to Assisted Living, I wanted to find an attorney that would protect her assets so that she would be comfortable in her declining years. The first moment I met Mr. Price, I knew he was the right man for the job. First, the office staff is very friendly and helpful making sure that you begin the estate process with the utmost ease. Next, when you have the actual appointment, he takes the time to get to know you and your family needs never overburdening you with things you don't need. He makes himself available to answer any questions and provides excellent and helpful advice without killing your wallet. I now have that peace of mind that my Grandmother's assets and best interests are in good hands so I can focus my attention on caring for her.
If you are looking for an attorney to protect your loved one's assets, I can't think of anyone more experienced, kind, intelligent and caring attorney than Mr. Price. Words can never convey the amount of gratitude my family feels for having him in our lives. God Bless him for taking good care of the elderly.

I have been in a professional relationship with Mr. Price for approximately 15 years. My first contact with Mr. Price was regarding my aunt and uncle. My uncle had developed Alzheimer's Disease and my aunt asked me to help her with her financial obligations and my uncle's medical condition.
I had no idea where to turn. I contacted the American Bar Association in my county and I was referred to Mr. Price's office as an Elder Care Attorney. I called his office and spoke with Mr. Price about my situation. I advised him that my uncle had Alzheimer's Disease and that my was in a wheel chair. Mr. Price advised that he would come to my aunt's home for a consultation. Mr. Price assisted me in all of the financial and legal aspects of my family's needs. He was always there to answer any questions I had on many subjects concerning my family's legal needs.
I have since then had occasion to use Mr. Price's help with other family matters.
Everyone in his office has always been courteous and efficient. Mr. Price goes out of his way to be available to answer any questions I may have. Mr. Price has even made appointments with me in evenings and on weekends.
I have had nothing but courteous and kind service from Mr. Price and his staff.

I can't say enough good things about Stephanie and her firm. I was involved in a messy divorce with a very unreasonable person. Even though her and her attorney refused to respond to almost any requests for information or any sort of communication Stephanie was able to navigate the case quickly and effectively. From start to finish Stephanie was quick to respond to any issue, question or concern, even outside of business hours. She fought tooth and nail to get the most fair and resonable outcome possible, and protect my time with my children. I couldn't be happier with her services or the outcome of the case, and I am forever gratefull for her assistance, guidance, and representation. I highly reccomend Stephanie, you will most certaintly be happy with her services.

I was in & out the courthouse numerous times. Originally, I had a different attorney representing my case and I had to file a substitution of counsel.
I was scared, lonely, & wasn't given the opportunity to voice myself. I consulted w/Stephanie J. Zane, Esq., she represented my case. The best decision of my life!
She is straight forward, trustworthy, & supportive. I highly recommend Stephanie J. Zane, Esq.

Matt is the lawyer that you want to help you always! He knows what he is talking about and explains whatever resolution or answer to you so that you understand everything.

I sincerely mean everything I am about to say about Ed Kelleher, and I have extremely high expectations of my legal council which was exceeded by Ed. My case was a federal non-competition, non-solicitation and trade secrets case my prior employer filed against me. Large company with a lot of money. Ed proved to me he was very knowledgeable and experienced in these areas. He is excellent at analyzing the situation, foreseeing each possible outcome to determine what steps should be taken, and when, to achieve what we wanted. He is very level headed, and he does not let emotion dictate what action is needed in a case. He has excellent listening and communication skills which is great for those he represents, and bad for opposing council. He has high morals and ethics too. The best review of a person is answering the question, would you hire him again? Absolutely! Better yet, I have referred several others because I trust him with thier difficult legal situations. (Yes, we won!)

Unfortunately, I have been in some automobile accidents. Fortunately, I met David Cedar who is highly intelligent; he knows the law. Mr. Cedar resolved one of my cases after I was told by another attorney that there wasn't anything that he could do. I'm writing this review because Mr. David Cedar deserves the praise and recognition. He and his staff are very professional and personable. It's never good to have been hurt in an automobile accident, therefore, you want and need an attorney who understands and is dedicated to fighting for you. Mr. Cedar is very matter of fact, highly intelligent and he really knows the law. I highly recommend him.

Ms. Amy Carolla is an excellent Lawyer for Educational Special Needs. She is familiar with all of the South Jersey school districts and gives an accurate assessment from the beginning of how the process will go with your district. She is realistic about settling vs. going to court. Although she is expensive, she is also careful not to burn through your money unnecessarily, especially if you are careful not to require hand holding. If you are realistic in your expectations, she can be quite successful. We talked to another prominent attorney before choosing Ms. Carolla and we chose her because she was realistic, we wanted the services our child needed, not an aggressive effort to punish the other party. She followed that directive; overall we are very very pleased with Ms. Carolla's results.

I just want to thank Mrs.Cohen for saving my life. In 2020, I was wrongfully charged of murder knowingly + attempted murder and was facing some serious time. My original lawyer wanted me to plea to a 7+ year deal and something just felt off about it. I’m a merchant marine of 5+ years, and I have no priors. Not to mention, I was wrongfully charged for something I didn’t do in the first place. As a result, I did my due diligence and came across Jill R. Cohen. Not only did she work with me, she was very understanding of my situation. She worked hard to get me a plea of 1 year probation and I can even continue working as a merchant marine In the process. I cant thank you enough for saving my career and livelihood. I will forever be grateful and you honestly deserve 100 stars, not 5! You saved my life. Thank you so much.

Jill Cohen took my case at a way more reasonable price than all other local lawyers I initially reached out to for help. After the court dragged their feet with providing any evidence for my case, her firm filed a 30 day motion to produce lab results. On the 28th day, after still no results, she was able to negotiate with prosecutors and get 15 out of 16 charges dismissed! Thank you for your service Jill.

I cannot say enough positive things about Daniel L. Mellor, JD, LLM and his team at Kulzer & DiPadova Law Firm. My husband and I knew that we wanted to prepare our assets in such a way that if and when something happens to us, our children do not need to have to figure it out on their own, or worse lose the important things we want them to have. Dan was able to work with us, explain each of the steps and create a Trust for us that we know will go to our children. We are not lawyers, we didn’t know the lingo, yet we were treated with the utmost respect and care throughout the entire experience. Don’t wait to set up your Family Trust, and be sure to use Daniel L. Mellor, JD, LLM to create it for you, you will be so happy you did.
