Frank Lazzaro was an outstanding attorney and truly a pleasure to work with. He always responded promptly, often within the same day, and consistently made me feel like a priority. What really stood out to me was his professionalism and his genuine care for my case—he went above and beyond to ensure that I fully understood every aspect of the process. It was clear that Frank had my best interests at heart from start to finish. He not only delivered excellent legal counsel but has also been a great resource for referrals in other areas. Without hesitation, I would recommend Frank Lazzaro and his firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I contacted Blinder law with a great deal of confusion, seeking clarification on the process on how personal injury cases progress from beginning to end to understand how one should go about structuring their steps and collecting necessary evidence. I appreciated how patient Mr Blinder was when he contacted me. My questions were thoroughly answered and was very helpful to planning my next steps.

I can’t say enough good things about Nazario and Parente! They guided me and my husband through selling one home and buying another, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tara is not just a great lawyer—she is kind, personable, and so easy to work with. Tara really took the time to understand what we needed and knew exactly when to push things forward and when to step back and let things happen naturally. Any time I had a question (and I had a lot!), Tara (and Thales) were always available with clear, thoughtful answers. Their attention to detail and ability to navigate tricky situations made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier. Yes, in New Jersey, you *can* buy or sell a home without a lawyer—but, why would you when you could lawyers like Nazario and Parente in your corner? I’d recommend them to anyone!

Outstanding Real Estate Attorney – Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of working with Tara Parente from The Law Offices of Nazario and Parente LLC for a real estate transaction, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism and expertise. From the very beginning, Tara took the time to explain every detail of the process, ensuring that I felt confident and informed every step of the way. Tara is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate law and provided invaluable guidance that made the transaction smooth and stress-free. Her responsiveness was exceptional; any time I had a question or concern, she was quick to respond and always had clear, thoughtful answers. Not only was Tara thorough and meticulous with the paperwork, but she also advocated for my best interests during negotiations, helping me secure favorable terms. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure a positive outcome. I highly recommend Tara Parente to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated real estate attorney. You won’t be disappointed!

My lawyer Mr. John Gorman is the best of the best! He was recommended to me by a family member and I am so happy she did! I was in a bad accident with a bus that hit me and almost lost my life! I remember the day I limped into his office and met him for the first time. I remember describing my accident with tears in my eyes and how compassionate he was towards my feelings! He was so welcoming, kind and overall I felt a great sense of trust in him that he will work hard on my case! Mr. Gorman has won the heart of my whole family because he and everyone else in his office told me to focus on recovering from my injuries and that they would take care of everything else which they did impeccably! They did everything from start to finish with such ease and experience and always kept me updated! Mr. Gorman was always a phone call away and was never too busy to talk to me if I had a question! Mr. Gorman will take on your case and fight like a gladiator to get you top dollar and the justice you deserve! He truly treats you like his own and fights and protects you like you are his family! I have never met such a brilliant lawyer in my life and I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family! I never believed that there were lawyers like Mr. Gorman out there, but there is and I was lucky enough to have met him. Trust me when I say that he knows his stuff and you will want him and only him to represent you and your loved ones! Shout out to Mr. Gorman! You are simply the best! Thank you for everything! God bless you and your family always!

The decision to file for divorce is hard. Finding a lawyer who cares, understands the law and won't take advantage of you is even harder. After my initial consultation with Steve, I knew he was the right attorney to represent me (and this was after I spoke with three different lawyers before him). He listened, showed compassion, and more importantly, had a wide grasp of all things divorce in New Jersey. My divorce finalized last week and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Because of Steve's diligence, knowledge and strong communication, a disunion that was getting rocky turned into a win for me. I couldn't be happier. Listen, I normally don't write reviews. Actually, I don't think I have ever written one. This time, however, I felt it was the least I could do considering the effort Steve put in and the outcome which followed. I highly recommend Steve and now know that choosing him was the best decision I could have ever made.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support and expertise we received from Fetkey & Petty and their team. Mr. Fetkey handled my son’s case with unmatched professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and an unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcome. His ability to navigate the complexities of juvenile law in New Jersey was remarkable. Before finding Fetkey & Petty, we had another lawyer from Staten Island who completely dropped the ball on my son’s case. Feeling frustrated and hopeless, a friend recommended Fetkey & Petty to us, and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. From the moment we connected with their office, we knew we were in good hands. Mr. Fetkey took the time to explain every step of the process to us, ensuring that we felt informed and reassured along the way. Thanks to his tireless efforts, we achieved the best possible result for my son, and for that, I will always be thankful. I also want to give special recognition to Maria from their staff—she is simply amazing! Maria was compassionate, attentive, and always available to address our concerns. Her kindness and exceptional organizational skills made such a difference in easing the stress during this process. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares and works tirelessly for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Fetkey & Petty. Mr. Fetkey and his team are an incredible group of people who deliver exceptional results.

I had a very complicated case. A 1st degree felony with intent to deliver. My future looked bleak. I had almost given up as I had thought this was an impossible case and I would never receive an expungement. The courts, lawyers, judges, all told me no. Not Mr. Marain, he was up for the challenge. He was always available, understanding, empathetic, intelligent, and he knows law better than anyone else I had ever encountered. He's very by the book and thorough if you have a case that you believe is eligible for expungement no matter how complicated it is you need to give Allan Marain a call. He will fight for you when no one else will. It wasn't easy, lots of bumps in the road, but we did it. He changed the trajectory of my life and I am forever grateful!

I was referred to Craig Aronow through a friend. Being young I did not know much about the law. From the moment I sat down with Craig he was nothing but patient, considerate, and super supportive. I was always filled with a ton of questions and he always got back to me within the same day to answer them. This I found super helpful when you have a million things running through your mind. I commend the fact Craig always gave me options to go about handling my case in different ways and always kept me informed. The best part was having him give me a list of things I needed to complete on my end from day one till the end. The list was always easy to understand for someone who knows nothing about the law. I also enjoyed working with his Paralegal Nyree, she went above and beyond to help me and always worked around my schedule to get things done. She was always readily available and as patient as they come! I Couldn’t have picked a better team to work with!

I was in a car accident about 3 years ago. Not knowing what to do, we (my husband and I) were referred to Mr. Mr. Aronow through a family member. He came highly recommended and we were told he is the best you can get. So we scheduled an appointment to meet with him at his firm. From the moment we met him and shook his hands, we knew we were in the right place, with the right person and in good hands. Mr. Aronow exuded such calmness, caringness, knowledge, respect and most importantly, professionalism during the meeting process. He listened to us contently and then explained to us in detail the whole process. He told us how everything will start from beginning to end. He showed us such compassion that was so greatly needed to get us through this ordeal. As time went on, before the successful conclusion of the case, Mr. Aronow and his assistant, Nyree Benitez, were so accommodating whenever we had questions or concerns. They were always available to answer all of our questions and address our concerns that pertained to the case as it progressed. They were very prompt with answers and advice either through emails or phone calls. Nyree was such a huge help in this whole process. She was so wonderful with helping us with all of our concerns. She made us, especially me, feel at ease. She listened, assisted us with all of our needs and explained all of the litigation terminology that we were not accustomed to so well. With such professionalism, we knew that this case was going to have a great outcome. Mr. Aronow did not fail us but fought for us. He was with us every step of the way which made it so much easier for us to stay calm. He guided us the best way possible and always kept us informed on the status of our case. At the end, Mr. Aronow did such a fantastic job that we won our case. With him by our side, we were awarded a settlement that we were very happy with. My husband and I would highly recommend Mr. Aronow to anyone whether it may be a family member, a friend or anyone who is looking for a great lawyer. He and his firm is the place to go to when you need proper guidance and professionals to represent you. His vast knowledge and humble demeanor was such an asset to our case. We thank him so very much for all he has done for us.

After being involved in an auto accident in May 2013, I retained an attorney to handle my case. Almost a year later, I realized this attorney did not have the necessary experience the case warranted. Then a highly respected colleague referred me to Craig Aronow and his firm. From the very start I could tell he had the experience I was looking for. He explained the whole process and not only did he answer every question and concern I had, but he went above and beyond my expectations. He told me to focus on my recovery and in getting better and that he would handle the rest. From that point forward, I knew in my heart I was in "good" hands and that this time I had the "right" attorney. While we were ready to go to trial , Craig put his super litigation skills to work and was able to settle the case. I am so happy that he was to obtain more money than what I expected. As far as the office staff, there are no words to express how pleased I am with Nyree Benitez, paralegal to Craig. She was very caring and was always concerned about my well-being. My calls and emails never once went unanswered. She did an outstanding job. It was definitely a pleasure to work with Craig and his staff and I would recommend this firm to anyone with no doubts.

I cannot thank Mr. Farmer and the entire team at Mazraani & Ligouri enough for their incredible work on my case. From the very beginning, Mr. Farmer was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He took the time to thoroughly explain the process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and determination, we were able to win my case, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney who truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Mr. Farmer and the team at Mazraani & Ligouri.

A close family member was arrested and charged with a serious felony. At the time of their arrest, they were diagnosed with serious mental illness and went to a cell in the forensic section of the state mental hospital. When their case came up they were transferred to a mental health section of the county jail. Although I was the victim and hoped to get treatment for my relative, the state automatically pressed criminal charges under the state's domestic violence laws. Initially, my relative was defended by a public defender, which was a relief given the cost of hiring a defense attorney. But the public defender was so overworked and overloaded with cases I am surprised he could remember my relative's name. Neither my relative nor anyone else in the family could find out much about how the case was going because the public defender spent so much time in court defending a great pile of case-after-case. Little by little I learned that the prosecution's case was relatively strong. The prosecution piled on every possible charge the prosecutor could imagine, and remained adamant in pressing for maximum, non-concurrent sentences for all charges -- up to 30 years in prison. The public defender conducted negotiations with the prosecutor and was slowly working toward a deal. All my relative had to do was plead-out and they could get off 'light' -- with only eight years in state prison. This seems to be the way law works these days. Forget all about all the lawyer and cop shows you might have seen on tv or in the movies. Very few defendants risk going to trial in our legal system which has become so heavily weighted in favor of the prosecution. I couldn't fault the efforts of the public defender given his situation but I didn't need to learn any more. I started hunting for a private attorney to defend my relative. Finding a good criminal defense attorney is not as easy as I expected. There are many attorneys who practice criminal defense -- for shoplifting or DUI charges -- but relatively few who will practice and are experienced at defending in serious felony cases. My search was further complicated by my relative's mental illness and the state's insistence on treating their case as a criminal case. I feel very fortunate to have found Ryan Gilbert, LLC. He was both experienced with handling criminal cases like my relative's and knowledgeable in the special case law involved in what is called a Krol case -- named for the defendant whose defense case pioneered this area of criminal law. In addition, Ryan Gilbert knew what expert witness to retain to best forward my relative's defense. I believe the testimony of this expert witness together with Ryan Gilbert's patience and expertise was crucial in determining the outcome of this case. There were several difficult personalities Ryan Gilbert had to deal with in handling my relative's case. I remain impressed by his ability to understand and skillfully maneuver through the often delicate relations with these difficult people. Unlike the public defender, it was easy to reach Ryan Gilbert and he was forthcoming and plain spoken about how the case was progressing. Ryan met with state prosecutors in court and in side negotiations for over a year. At the end of this ordeal the state finally recognized that my relative suffered from mental illness and the state's interests would be best served if this relative were placed into the state mental health system as a Krol patient. Mounting a criminal defense requires considerable time and energy in addition to resources like the expert witness Ryan Gilbert obtained to further this case. Hard work, and great skill and expertise deserve adequate compensation. The defense of my relative was neither free nor exorbitant, and worth more than every penny it cost. How much would you value each year in the life of someone you love?

Mr. Gilbert gets the job done. Due to medical reasons, my case was handled with me on the other side of the continent! Mr. Gilbert was able to expedite my case and have it settled in what I consider record time. Fees are more than reasonable, especially given the excellence in representation that Mr. Gilbert is able to provide. As long as Mr. Gilbert remains in practice, I will always have a lawyer in NJ.

Ive been using Ryan Gilbert since 2009, Ryan is a very good trustworthy lawyer. I currently retained Ryan in the most crucial time of my life a custody case in which im trying to keep my son. I used another firm and it was costing me ridiculous amounts of money with little to no work done on their end. Im not saying custody cases arent expensive nor Ryan is going to work for free but he wont rob you he will be fair and work hard for you and thats all i asked. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone seeking a professional/fair attorney!

Katherine isn’t just a good lawyer she’s a good person I was picked up on a Thursday night with a bench warrant and if it wasn’t for Katherine I would have spent the entire weekend in jail but because she cares and is good at her job the next day I was home. I gave her plenty of reasons to dump me as a client but she stuck with me. There is no doubt in my mind that if I had any other attorney the outcome would be much worse for me. I’m forever grateful for Katherine and the service she provides,

Josh was a fantastic lawyer from start to finish - and after! I got arrested for the first time ever and was charged with 4th degree Stalking. The whole story was overblown by the police and prosecutors, to the point that even the "victims" were not adamant about my arrest - they repeatedly declined to even file complaints against me for harassment when encouraged by police. Furthermore, police repeatedly asked two children and two parents in as many suggestive ways as they could about whether or not I had acted sexually inappropriate towards them - time and time again, they all denied it. The whole thing was a mess. The prosecutor and police were overzealous and I feel used inaccurate and false information to give to the judge. Josh was an unbelievable help and without him and as hard as he tried to stand up for my rights this could've turned out so much worse. He went the extra mile. First, the state filed to have me detained. Josh immediately worked on ways to get me on pretrial release. I was in jail for 14 days. Josh filed motion after motion trying to get me out. He had me do psychological evaluations and used them, in addition to other evidence, to speak to different judges for my release. His representation of me was strong and his arguments right on point. One judge finally let me out on home detention. The prosecution appealed the judge, and the appellate court took my side. After 50 days on house arrest, Josh worked hard to let me leave NJ to go home to another state - something rarely allowed. He put together an excellent motion spelling out every point to the judge which showed, clear as day, that it was absurd to keep me on home detention because of financial hardship. The prosecution fought this, but after another psychological eval., I was free! At my PIP date, the prosecution didn't offer me a plea! Josh got me to apply to PTI, and the probation dept. rejected my app. Somehow, Josh was able to miraculously get the prosecution to allow me into PTI anyway. One final date came - I had a choice to plead not guilty and go to trial or plead guilty and get into PTI conditional on a guilty plea for 3 years with a psychological eval. and possible treatment. Right down to the end I wanted to fight it but Josh encouraged me to take the deal. I'm confident if I went to trial Josh would've been my first pick. He also raised 4th amendment issues and was confident he could've had evidence thrown out at trial. Finally, I think he did a great job behind the scenes working with the prosecutor's office to get a resolution. My point in telling all this is to say how thrilled I am with his representation. No lawyer is a miracle worker, and this didn't turn out perfectly, but I'll be no one could've done a better job or would've tried harder than he. He was also very respectful to me the whole time, listened well, was always available for questions, made the proper suggestions, etc. He visited me in jail periodically for updates. He spoke in a commanding and intelligent manner to the judge and his arguments were clear. He went the extra mile and tried hard - even got my PTI moved to another state. He even followed up afterwards, and after my plea, he walked me over to the probation office on the street. Great lawyer, great guy, great representation, and great effort! I recommend him highly - you'll get a slightly above average price for WAY above average representation and stellar effort!! Criminal charges are a mess, so get yourself a good lawyer who cares and will put in the time! 9 out of 10!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
