I have been blessed and highly favored by having Jasmine as my lawyer for my divorce proceedings. Not only she is an excellent lawyer and extremely knowledgeable and intellectual but also an even greater human being who has empathy, compassion, and understanding.
Her professionalism is second to none but that is not even her best attribute; her honesty, integrity and commitment far exceeded any expectations I could have ever had.
I am proud to say that I have been represented by the best lawyer in the state of New Jersey. She is a magnificent lawyer but even better person

My wife and I hired Mike Spar to represent us as we purchased our first house in November 2017. Mike guided us throughout the entire process, letting us know exactly what to expect at each step and addressing all of our questions/concerns. He was extremely responsive via phone and email, responding to queries immediately (often within 5 minutes). Overall, we were very pleased with the level of service provided by Mr. Spar.

Mike takes a practical approach to problems; he is a straight-shooter who has been able to assist me and my company with a broad range of business issues. I have particularly appreciated his candor in admitting what is outside his range of experience/expertise.

Ms. Rosenthal represented my mother and I during a will contest. Her professionalism is unmatched in my opinion, her understanding & patience during a difficult family time was outstanding. Judy truly loves her work and the challenges that comes with it, as she did in our litigation which lasted nearly 3 years and we prevailed.

Judith Rosenthal has been my Corporate & Personal attorney for about the past 5 years now and came highly recommended from a personal friend. Her court room presence & professionalism is paramount, not to mention she comes fully prepared so as not to need a continuance which does not go unnoticed by the judge who often commends her thoroughness.
I can honestly say she has never let me down and as long as she is practicing law in the state of NJ, she will continue to be my legal confidant as well as a god friend.
Everyone I've referred her to were also happy with the outcomes in their case. She is diligent, very thorough, and will guide you according to your best interest.

I have had several occasions to use Judith Rosenthal for her professional services. She clearly has the ability to identify all aspects, pros and cons, of the issues at hand. She successfully resolved all of my cases! I would highly recommend her as an attorney for litigation, personal injury, and marital law.

Robert C. Segear Esq. handled my Aunt's Estate in Orlando, Florida. I highly recommend Robert. I live in New Jersey and Robert made Florida's very complex Probate process smooth and efficient. Not only did Robert Segear do an excellent job with the Probate, he and his team helped with all the difficulties of selling my Aunt's Florida, "Homestead". Robert has a gift for helping clients comprehend the complexities of Florida Probate law. He was very accessible and prompt. Again, if you have any Estate issues in Florida, Robert is your guy! His office is in Miami but with e-filing he was able to handle my Orlando issues with no travel costs. His fair billing reflects his wealth of experience and expertise in his legal practice areas. In other legal matters I have had attorneys charge me for their "learning curve" to "research" answers to my questions. This was NOT the case with Robert Segear. Because of his keen intellect and many years of practicing law, Robert knew the answers to my questions without wasting my time or money. In fact Mr. Segear was able to save me money with his legal recommendations for my problems. Robert was truly a Blessing to myself and my Aunt's Heirs.

Mr. Kaplan was easy to schedule a no charge consultation and during the consultation he provided very clear advice to me and we agreed upon his fee. He prepared the documents quickly and answered several follow-up questions.
I have given his number to several friends and they all rave about how nice he is and easy to work with.

A colleague of mine recommended Diamond & Diamond to me, and I thank God she did. My case turned out way more complicated than we all expected it to be, and should have been, and yet was anything but an open and shut case. I know I would not have made it through this process without Diamond & Diamond's guidance, leadership, intelligence, knowledge, kindness, and at times when needed, ferocity.
I still remember my first call with Richard. He reads people extremely well. I have a very quirky personality, and he accepted me, helped me get to the point of things and did not judge me whatsoever. He was quick to action, making sure I was doing the same. I knew I was in the very best hands with him. He thinks outside the box, and has a vast knowledge of the law and every angle that comes along with it. He's really just incredible.
The person who I worked the closest to and spoke to the most would have to be Jon (Richard's son); another lawyer at the firm. There were days where I called Jon about five times, and each time he answered the phone he was always respectful, responsive, and never made me feel like a burden. Jon did an obscene amount of work on my behalf; working tirelessly and endlessly for me to make sure that everything was exactly how I wanted/needed it to be. He was always honest and upfront with me. Additionally, he would always ask me before he acted upon anything, as well as explaining why he would be doing said action in the first place. He is ridiculously intelligent, determined, and memorizes just about everything. He knew my case better than I did! I was anxious majority of the time, and he would notice immediately, and say to me, "It's OK, you're okay." That phrase meant more to me than he could ever know. Every time we had to show up for court in person, I would see him, and I knew everything was going to be OK.
Angela, a senior paralegal at the firm is a SAINT. She is patient, kind, understanding, extremely smart, and always knows the right thing to say. Every time I would call and hear her voice on the phone, I instantly felt calmer. She is truly the best.
As a young woman in her 30's who found herself in an awful situation, I felt safe with Jon and Richard. They do not take advantage, they get to know YOU, the person behind the divorce, and only want what's best for you. They are not afraid of anything or anyone, accept challenges willingly with dignity, morality, and a "bring it" type of attitude. Diamond & Diamond was more than I could have ever asked for, and I will be eternally grateful. With a giant air hug, huge smile and endless gratitude, -A.
AUGUST 2024
A follow up to my previous post-divorce review:
Diamond & Diamond continues to be the honorable and upstanding firm they have always proven themselves to be. Even though my divorce is final and my case is technically closed, some unexpected issues arose. They could have easily nickel and dimed me; many firms would have. Instead, their continued assistance was completely fair and reasonable. A huge thank you to Jon and Richard for continuing to make me feel safe and protected. As previously stated, I remain eternally grateful. -A

Our daughter hired Diamond and Diamond to represent her in a divorce settlement. This was a very fortunate decision. They worked for her as though they were part of the family. Their expertise, thoroughness and execution was first rate. We recommend Diamond and Diamond without reservation.

As a loving father, I can say that the best parenting decision I’ve made has been hiring the Diamond & Diamond Law firm to represent me. From the moment I retained their services, they were immediately on the case, obtaining the necessary documents and information while ensuring no stone was left unturned.
I wish I had found them earlier, because they cleaned up the mess that was left from the carelessness of other attorneys. The Diamond Diamond Law firm were responsive, attentive, and detailed oriented. I could see that they actually read everything I have provided line by line in preparation for my hearing.
My initial nervousness during the actual hearing date was quickly calmed when I witnessed the level of respect Richard had earned from colleges and court officials who were present. Richard’s brilliance was on full display in the courtroom, and he fought for my interests as a father. He made sure that no falsities went unanswered.
The Diamond & Diamond Law firm gave me reasonable expectations for the outcome of my case and then proceeded to exceed them in every way. They were not cheap, but I know from hard experiences, that bad representation (especially in family court) can cost so so much more.

I have had the misfortune of needing many different types of lawyers in my life. The bright spot of that, is being able to recognize what a good attorney looks like, and Gene is absolutely phenomenal.
I reached out to the main office regarding my legal situation and the admin/finance departments were always responsive, kind and professional. I felt the pricing was transparent, and fair.
I was impressed with the level of communication, dedication and quality of service provided by this firm. Gene is an extremely knowledgeable, helpful and organized professional. His professional connections and legal acumen makes him an incredible attorney.
Whenever I had questions Helen and Gene ensured I felt comfortable and was fully informed of each potential branch the case could take.
I appreciated their grace with my limited knowledge in the inner workings of DCPP situations. I feel whole heartedly that hiring this form was the best choice I could have made.
My case was resolved to my satisfaction, ahead of expected time frame. If you’re reading these reviews as I did prior to hiring this firm, please know this is the best decision.

My experience with this law firm was is that if you have issues with D.C.C.P. Allison Williams is the attorney that you absolutely should get on your side especially, if you don't have close to a squeaky clean past and/or you do not walk a straight line. No matter what you did or what they said you did, the outcome will likely be a lot better if you get Allison on your case. An attorney in the Williams firm represented my wife in a D.C.C.P. case. The outcome in my wife's case was ok but now looking back after meeting Allison she should have paid more money for Allison instead of getting one of the other attorneys in the firm.
Although I only spoke with Allison one time with my wife ,knowing the system very well and the past dealings I have had with other attorneys, I feel that Allison is the real deal and can be trusted. I would advise you to pay the extra money she charges for her service rather than getting one of the other attorneys in her firm that will not represent you like Allison will.
I am hoping to get Allison to help me gain custody of my 7 year old daughter. I met other attorneys from big expensive firms, and I pick Allison over all of them.

I hired Victoria Miranda as my lawyer through Williams law group where she previously worked. She was very confident, very professional, and she was very caring about my case. At the time I was dealing with addiction, and my children were taking by DCPP. She’s a very respected attorney in the New Jersey Court system and Passaic County, especially where I had my case. The whole tone of the case changed for the better when DCPP found out who my lawyer was they knew they couldn’t get away with Lying in front of the judge anymore. This was three years ago and I have been in recovery ever since. She gave me hope. And worked hard to get my case, resolved my children were returned to me shortly after. I will never forget her wonderful lawyer I highly recommend!!!!

My case was resolved to my satisfaction, ahead of expected time frame. If you’re reading these reviews as I did prior to hiring this firm, please know this is the best decision.

My experience with this law firm was is that if you have issues with D.C.C.P. Allison Williams is the attorney that you absolutely should get on your side especially, if you don't have close to a squeaky clean past and/or you do not walk a straight line. No matter what you did or what they said you did, the outcome will likely be a lot better if you get Allison on your case. An attorney in the Williams firm represented my wife in a D.C.C.P. case. The outcome in my wife's case was ok but now looking back after meeting Allison she should have paid more money for Allison instead of getting one of the other attorneys in the firm.
Although I only spoke with Allison one time with my wife ,knowing the system very well and the past dealings I have had with other attorneys, I feel that Allison is the real deal and can be trusted. I would advise you to pay the extra money she charges for her service rather than getting one of the other attorneys in her firm that will not represent you like Allison will.
I am hoping to get Allison to help me gain custody of my 7 year old daughter. I met other attorneys from big expensive firms, and I pick Allison over all of them.

Susan has a very high level of integrity and was a great friend and advisor through my very difficult divorce. She genuinely cared about me and my children and was concerned for our well-being. This was always one of her first questions when we spoke "How are the kids doing" followed by "How are you doing". She was available on weekends and nights and always responsive within 24 hours or less. She gave strong, straightforward advice, made me think when I needed an honest opinion, but was also compassionate to my situation. I witnessed her in litigation and was extremely impressed. Her preparation was impeccable. She was extremely well-composed and professional, and the judge loved her in the face of opposition that did not operate under the same rules. My children and I are in a good place now, thank you Susan!

Do not hire her. She will add additional lawyers to your case to ramp up the bills for no reason. Misses deadlines. Forget to do things. Horrible trial lawyer. Not organized, not detailed. Will mess up your case and will gouge you all at the same time.

After getting nowhere for a year with the first attorney I hired, I went for a consultation with Susan R. Winters. After hearing my situation, she asked me some pointed questions and then said, "Now go on with you life. I've got this." And she did. Susan settled my divorce in several weeks, after having gone round and round with the first attorney for more than a year. The settlement she negotiated was exactly what my first attorney told me I would never get. She did all of this with a smile and complete professionalism. You can tell that she is well-respected by the courts and feared by other attorneys. Not only did she provide legal guidance and representation, but she also provided much needed moral support. Since my divorce, I have referred her to friends. Every single one comes back and tells me how thrilled they were with Susan. She's responsive, resourceful, expert and will put the hardship behind you quickly and with the best possible outcome. Contact her - you'll be so glad you did.

Can't say enough of how grateful I am to Jeff Weinstein and his firm. Jeff really took the time to review my case and make recommendations based off my situation. He assigned me to one of his newest attorneys - Katie Segall.
Katie is very smart, full of energy, and puts her best foot forward to give you the best results. She is young and a recent graduate, however, don't let that fool you. When it comes to attorney rankings: She is a 6 ft 4"; five-star college football recruit that just landed herself a spot at Alabama with Nick Saban. She is a firecracker that goes over and beyond to make sure you have the peace-of-mind you and your family need. When it comes to divorce, or any family issues, lets be honest, its never a fun process. Katie created a great experience. The experience in return gave a great result!
Thanks from top to bottom - Jeff, Katie and all of Weinstein that played a role in making my experience with Weinstein a great one!

Although this may be something that you want in my case in 2019 David went overboard and ruined my relationship with my ex due to his vociferous disingenuous and vicious tactics I do think he has good qualities and is highly responsive but rude and arrogant as well. Avoid if you don't want to make your ex an enemy needlessly.

Thomas Baldwin represented me in my divorce and was more concerned with proving is alimony calculation theory then representing me effectively and efficiently. Not to mention the fact that he missed the vast majority of Court imposed deadlines which I truly believe reflected badly on me in Court. Finally, his firm Budd Larner, is more concerned with billing as much as possible than they are about keeping legal fees under control.
