I called Joel Drucker when I needed immediate assistance with POA's and wills for my parents. He responded promptly and guided me through the process since I was never put in that position before. I was very fortunate to find Joel. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again when the need arises in the future.

We used Tanya for a house sale / purchase in early 2022. Tanya was great to work with and made the stressful process of selling / buying a house much easier. She communicated up front what the process would involve (we hadn't had a real estate transaction in over 20 years so it was a good refresher!) and was extremely proactive in all aspects of the process. We appreciated her attention to detail and patience with all of the many questions we had! We also were very happy with the title agency she recommended - they were great to work with. We would highly recommend Tanya for any real estate related legal work.

Mr. Brecher has support me in a number of various legal matters including court appearances and property settlements. He is most proficient and professional in his approach to all of the legal matters that I was faced with. He worked with me to understand the implications of the decisions needed in each of the case. He was very understanding of my lack of knowledge of the legal system - I am an engineer - and he made the various processes and procedures that I went through as painless and quick as possible.

I came across Jordan P. Brewster in summer 2015, when was searching for new divorce lawyer, since was about to fire my lawyer Aniello Ceretto (do not even think to come close to this guy, despite his undeserved high rating of 8.1 in Avvo.com, you will be misled, manipulated and ripped off) and also was seeking advice what to do about him. It is not secret that a lot of divorce lawyers take advantage of client’s mental and emotional conditions going through that terrible and devastating event, particularly when you are not initiating party. Mr. Brewster not only listened to all details of my already complicated divorce case without any financial benefits for himself, but also gave me priceless advice what can be done to bring Aniello Ceretto to some kind of justice. Unfortunately, I did not sign a substitution of attorney form and did not fire Mr. Ceretto at the moment and let him continue to harm and humiliate me for another 6 months and paid him additional 1,750 for exactly that. I finally get rid of him early this month and first think contacted Jordan again. He called me back in a couple of days and gave priceless legal advice. I highly recommend this lawyer. He is very detail oriented; fare, very knowledgeable in all aspects of law and specific details applicable only in NJ. If you want to represented by somebody with honor and integrity you are making an excellent choice.

I was referred to Mr. Hunter through a lawyer referral system which earned me $50 for a half hour consultation. I brought him a licensing contract and a few questions I had about it. As an entertainer, being asked to sign a contract from LA, one must always be skeptic. Mr. Hunter carefully looked over it, answered my questions very clearly, and told me exactly what I needed to know. He was extremely professional, friendly, and polite. I walked out of his office feeling much better about signing the contract and even better knowing, if I had a problem for any reason during the term, I could hire him as my Intellectual Property Attorney and be protected. I believe Mr Hunter truly likes his work and went the extra mile to do a complete and proper evaluation of the legal risk as it pertains to my rights bound to the term of the contract. I respect his practice and would highly recommend him.

My mother referred me to Robin, she used her for her divorce 15 years ago which like mine was messy and difficult. I saw first hand 15 years ago how much she helped out my mother. When I finally had the courage to go through with my own divorce I had no doubt in my mind who to choose as my attorney. Robin! From our first meeting all the way through to the final stages Robin has been there for me and on point with everything. I developed a sense of security with her, she was always professional but had a way of talking to you as a person and not just a client. She always calmed me down. Every time I would speak to her, she would bring me right back to reality. She is factual, smart and gets the job done! She is always responsive, realistic, extremely thorough, took time to explain everything to me, honest and by far the hardest working attorney. She will fight for you and has your back. My divorce was the hardest thing I ever experience but because of Robin it went smooth and I am beyond happy how everything turned out. Robin's legal assistant JoAnn was so friendly and helpful as well. I will forever be grateful for her. Thank you Robin!

I was referred to Robin by a friend when I needed to get divorced. She helped me throughout the process of my divorce. She explained everything clearly and honestly during it's entirety, sometimes explaining things twice considering I had never been in that situation before. She was patient with my inquiries, gave solid advice on paperwork required, and represented me with strength and knowledge. I am so pleased that I chose her as my representation. She got me a fair settlement that I am extremely happy with.

Ms. Schwartz represented me in a personal matter. I sought her counsel as the attorney I had retained was not responsive and did not seem to have my best interests at heart. Conversely, Ms. Schwartz quickly and thoroughly responded to my calls and emails, provided excellent and realistic legal counsel, and was able to finalize my case in less than two months.

I was faced with a complex litigation involving a multitude of defendants. It was an intricate real estate matter that had many moving parts and a complicated fact pattern. Jennifer and Bob were able to seize control of critical problem areas and have keen insight and understanding of the case to help induce a settlement. I would highly recommend this law firm.

I began using Jennifer Alexander a number of years ago for Roseland Management (now Mack Cali), and then for The Bozzuto Group, for Landlord/Tenant issues. She has always been honest, succinct, detail oriented and timely. I was pleased to introduce her to colleagues within other companies, who also chose to utilize her legal services. Additionally, I have used Ms. Alexander for residential real estate title work, small claims court issues, and forming an LLC. She again proved herself to be trustworthy, strategic, knowledgeable and primarily professional. When I require the use of an attorney, Jennifer Alexander is the one I look to.

The entire law firm is reminiscent of "used car salesmen". Jennifer Alexander is an extremely emotionally abusive "attorney" and is very dangerous. She does not believe that rules apply to her and her clients. She knowingly and willingly has discriminated, inflicted severe emotional distress, engaged in extreme manipulation and is a liability to her clients. She has purposely retaliated even though it WILL cause her clients serious liability. She issued me a "notice to cease" based on outrageously false claims then blocked me. Her client will have to pay for her actions, and she does not care. It's quite disgusting and disturbing because she will do ANYTHING to victimize someone rather than advising her client to do what's morally right. SHE IS A LIABILITY. I have been emotionally paralyzed by her abuse and she refuses to stop. I decided to stop giving her the power to affect my life and move forward with healing and getting justice. She is the definition of ineffective counsel and a person who is an abuse of power. Most of her correspondences towards tribunal start with "as you know" to demean and manipulate her victim. I will make it my life's mission to make sure she is held accountable for her actions. I almost committed suicide due to her pervasive intentional infliction of emotional distress and I will take this to the highest level to make sure no one else has to suffer from her abuse of power again.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Michael Z. Mann. Esq. during a very stressful situation. He was so helpful and went above and beyond what we expected.

He helped handle this matter in an expedited matter of time and kept us updated throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend working with him.
