My wife and I had an excellent experience working with Laurie. Our case was, what I consider to be particularly difficult, with an adoption, several marriages, military service, etc. We're not just starting out in life so our "life's experiences" made the paperwork rather arduous. To make things more complicated, although my wife speaks English, it certainly made things easier that Laurie could communicate with her in her language. She was prompt with email replies and her emails following each step of the process helped us better understand the next steps in the process and what we should expect and what was expected of us. Several people my wife spoke to within her group had issues once they arrived for their interview and we had none of that. Laurie had prepared us well and all the required materials we came prepared with or had been uploaded for review before my wife arrived. I would definitely recommend using Laurie and plan to do so again if my wife's daughter decides to come here as well.

I’m so happy my fiancé and I had Laurie as our attorney for our K-1 visa process. Laurie is extremely detailed in her instructions, responsive to any questions, and all around communicative and helpful. We both truly felt like we could rely on her, which is so invaluable and I’m certain saved us so much stress that we could have felt had we not had Laurie guiding us. My fiancé just got approved for his visa, and we are so grateful to Laurie for everything! We are definitely planning on hiring Laurie again for my fiancé’s adjustment of status.

We just completed our FSBO sale closing with excellent support of Lana. She guided us through complex negotiations with the other party and made sure that our interests are always fully protected. Lana's work ethics are exceptional - she was very responsive and helpful in explaining the process and clarifying any questions that came up.
She certainly went above and beyond our expectations and with gratitude I would wholeheartedly recommend her as an attorney to hire.
Thank You, Lana!

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.

I highly recommend Robert to anyone with a need for a top litigation attorney. He is knowledgeable, sharp and a great tactician.
When I went to court, it was obvious that the judge respected my attorney considerably. I have dealt with many attorneys in the past and without any hesitation Robert will always be my first choice. I am forever grateful for everything he has done for me.

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!
