I cannot say enough great thinks about Laurie. My wife and I have utilized her services many times for the past nine years and her attention, kindness, generosity with her time, and fine attention to detail are all exceptional. We suffered some relatively difficult immigration setbacks during COVID which needed to be resolved and despite the issues Laurie helped us re-navigate the process smoothly and also with her guidance very quickly.
I highly recommend her services and there is no one else I would use for immigration related matters but her.

Laurie was amazing. She made the process flawless. You can tell by the way she communicated with me and my fiance that she cares about the success of her clients. She is very knowledgeable in this field and everything that she has told us went exactly as planned and my fiance got everything done in less than a year. Laurie will also be doing the green card for us. Laurie is definitely a must.

Lana is an excellent real estate attorney. I did a lot of research to find her and it was worth it. Lana helped me buy my first house. She was incredibly helpful, explaining all the details (and there are A LOT of details), and never dismissed any of my concerns - and I had a lot of questions. She is a pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking to purchase a home. You need a good attorney when you buy a house and Lana is the best. She is very knowledgeable and prepped me on what to expect every step of the way from dealing with real estate agents on both sides of the table to what I should be saying to the people at city hall.
Even though the sellers did not have their act together and created multiple delays and complications throughout the process, Lana kept things on track and moving along smoothly on my end. If you are looking for a real estate attorney in New Jersey you should definitely contact her, she is great and her rates are affordable as well.

Jim recently helped sell our townhouse in Central NJ, and he provided top-notch service. One big issue that we were initially unsure about was how to go about the sale while living outside the US, but Jim provided us with the guidance to put our minds at ease and helped us navigate the entire transaction remotely!
He was on top of various contractual obligations and sent us timely reminders when something was due from us. He was very prompt in responding to our numerous emails and phone calls throughout the process -- while gathering the initial documents, communicating with the buyer's attorney regarding various repairs and fixes, putting stuff together for the closing, and everything in between.
It was very reassuring to have Jim represent us, and we absolutely recommend his services for real estate needs.

This team (a husband and a wife) is a joke and a complete fraud...........You, as a client, cannot even get them on the phone. Jessica, a paralegal I guess (?), is the one answering all the questions. You cannot bypass Jessica, don't even try. You cannot talk to your lawyer either because "she is not available" ever. This group dropped my case without even notifying me. Beware.

We hired Zlata to represent a family member in a very serious automobile accident. She did an outstanding job. She was truly able to achieve the impossible. Not only was she highly professional, she took the time to listen and impressed us with her knowledge and insight. She was always available to answer any questions that arose along the way and that is extremely important. She was able to provide the service and guidance she said she would every step of the way. At the end she was able to obtain a settlement way above of what we expected. I can honestly say she will go above and beyond in her representation. Thank you Zlata!

The competence, knowledge, professionalism, empathy, and attention provided to me and my case by Zlata and her team has been absolutely mindblowing. Most attorneys operate on a set it and forget it bases, in other words you pay your retainer and then you don't hear back from them for 3 years. Not at this law firm; they work diligently from day 1 to get their clients results and compensation, and they do it with utmost regard and respect toward their clients and the sensitive issues they are dealing with. There is no other law firm I would ever consider for my or my family's legal needs. If you want the best choose Rudikh & Associates!
