Mr. Freeman represented me quite professionally with my cases, beginning with custody and child support, and finally with Divorce and Alimony. In all cases, he was very successful. He explained the possible outcomes prior to committing to represent. His writings on all cases was thorough, and pointed. I could understand every aspect of his presentation as written by mr. Freeman.

Vyzas and Associates was compassionate and helpful in settling my parents' affairs after my father's death. Sixteen years later, they supported in following up on my mother's legal affairs, including a special needs trust and change to the deed so that when the time comes, we won't be stressed out. Eldercare can be challenging especially in a sandwich generation. Grateful for their support in what can be difficult and necessary conversations with our loved ones.

I recently sold my condo - my home for the past 34 years! Given it was so long since I had purchased my home, I had many questions and concerns about the process - I must say I had the absolutely best attorney representing me in Laura Fisher - she is professional, caring, patient and does the utmost to represent her clients - I highly recommend her if one is looking to buy or sell a property - her office staff were top notch as well - I could not have asked for better representation. I will always be grateful for her professional advice and expertise.

I was looking to buy my first house and reached out to Michael. He was very calm and composed and explained me the complete process of home buying and made me feel at ease. I decided at that point itself that he will be my lawyer. The home buying process is lengthy and complex but Michael was always there to explain each step in the process and guided me whenever required. Also he provided great insight which really helped me and negotiated on my behalf with the seller so I can get the maximum sellers credit. He and his team really made the process smooth and kept me on track to close the house much sooner than the offer closing date. On the day of closing there was last minute issues that came up but Michael was quick to identify a solution which really helped me to close the house. I will strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a lawyer and would be definitely reaching out to him again if I ever need a lawyer.

Worked with Jason Weiss twice this year, once when I bought a house in the spring and again when I sold a house in the summer. He is exactly the kind of lawyer you want working on real estate transactions: He is sharp, incredibly responsive — a huge advantage in today’s fast paced real estate market — and gives you honest feedback when you need it. I also really appreciate that he is closely involved in all aspects of transaction and doesn’t rely excessively on paralegals, which you sometimes find with larger firms.

My attorney fought for my freedom as if it was his own. He constantly stayed in contact with me, kept me informed about my case and what he was discussing with the prosecutor. I was facing 7 years in prison while being represented by previous council. When I hired Jacob he immediately told me that he would get that reduced. Our first court appearance he spoke with the prosecutor and pointed out every flaw in there case, said if they can’t work something out he’d be filing motions to have everything dismissed. My next court date I was offered probation with no jail time at all. Jacob is very professional and focused.

I walked into John's office one day after finding out that my landlord was charging me more than the legal rent-controlled rent. John was incredibly well versed in landlord-tenant law, rent control in particular, and immediately filed a lawsuit for treble damages under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. We ultimately prevailed and I recovered more than three times the amount that I was overcharged, plus all of my attorney fees. I am very satisfied with John's high level of service, expertise, and professionalism.

I couldn't get appointments with physical therapists, doctors or anything else - the firm wouldn't even get back to me when I called, this went on for so long and i had enough. The week I hired Raoul Bustillo he was like a whirlwind. He took over my case and got things done right away! That week I was going to PT and to the right doctors. He had changed the whole case around in my favor. I was so stressed out before and when he took over I was able to relax and rely on my new attorney to work on my behalf and work for me instead of feeling like i was doing everything and someone else would get paid. I am so happy and satisfied at the job that was done for me. What a wonderful firm! This is a firm that puts you at ease and fights for you.

I really don't know where to begin but let me start off my saying Sandra was an absolute godsend to us. We were blessed to have her and I emphasize BLESSED. I needed to sell my home because I was moving out of state. My son-in-law led me to Sandra. This is the best move we could've ever made throughout this entire process. We found Sandra to be very warm and patient, extremely knowledgeable, informative and absolutely thorough. I received many offers for my house, but Sandra made sure that I accepted only the best offer. She works with a "client first" mentality. If you hire her, I strongly suggest that you let her do her job. She knows what she's doing and she's an expert at what she does. There is no way we could've sifted through all the legal jargon of all the offers, deal with NJ DEP, various other Jersey City codes, etc., without her guiding us. Whenever we had questions she was always available for us. She explained, in detail, all of the final closing terms for a smooth close on my house. If you're selling a property in Jersey City, I would HIGHLY recommend Sandra Rizzo.

I can't speak highly enough of Aurel. I told my client to call Aurel for his services for the sale of his property and am beyond happy I did. The sale started off pretty easy and quickly turned into a nightmare due to a lot of unforseen circumstances. It took us three times to get the property sold and Aurel stuck with us the whole time. He is an absolute professional and knows his craft in and out. Not only is he an excellent lawyer but he is a down-to-earth, great guy. He didn't heavy hand us because he was the lawyer and we weren't, he spoke to us with respect and came from a place of wanting to do his best to help. I don't know what we would have done without him for this deal. In my opinion, the legal world is a better place with someone with his attitude. I will never use another attorney for any business in this state. If you are looking for a lawyer that really knows his stuff, cares about his clients, and cares about getting the job done, then this is your guy.

I'm still dealing with and it won't probably end soon to make things right for my daughter. I went through many lawyers and it was an emotional nightmare. Just when I was about to give up somehow I found Mr Gerber. We just started together but he cares, works hard, loaded with easing information and an amazing person. He has made my horrible experience feel like there's hope. I hope and wish everyone going through this tough time finds him faster than I did. I highly recommend Mr Gerber. Good luck.

Matt handled my divorce proceedings simply and efficiently. He thoroughly and promptly answered my many questions, made all requested modifications to the agreements, and communicated with my ex and all officials so that I didn't have to. The filing and court procedures changed significantly during the pandemic, but Matt took care of everything without issue. From start to finish my divorce took about three months and I was very happy with my financial outcome.

I got a ticket last year for almost running a police officer's squad car off of the road on my way to classes at Rutgers. I was looking at a billboard and didn't notice my car was drifting to the right and into the police car that was in my blind spot. I was pulled over shortly thereafter. Long story short, professor González was able to get my infraction changed, cutting the total fine to a fraction of what it was. As a result of the change there were no points added to my license and I additionally avoided paying a $250 surcharge typically paid in order to avoid points. He really is an amazing lawyer. I totally recommend him, especially if you are a student and low on cash.

I would be the first to recommend Jeff as a lawyer if you want someone who goes above and beyond. He takes the time to make sure you understand things through every step of the case. Additionally, you can tell with how thorough he is that he has the experience necessary to help get you the best possible outcome. My family and I are extremely grateful and blessed to have had an amazing lawyer like Jeff represent us, and we truly believe that we would not have gotten the same outcome without Jeff’s hard work and dedication.
