The Matus Law Group was phenomenal to work with when we needed to redo our wills, living wills, advance directives, and the Special Needs Trust for our daughter who is permanently disabled and will need lifelong care. We have peace of mind knowing that everything is in place should something unexpected happen to us. We felt we were in excellent hands in that everything was explained to us along the way. Christine Matus and Colleen Clark were very professional, knowledgable, and easy to work with. The law office staff were great as well. I would not hesitate to recommend the Matus Law Group to family and friends.

Mr. Straffi (JR) is a safe space to go to discuss a vulnerable situation, such as claiming bankruptcy. Not only did he reassure me that things happen, he made sure I wasn't confused or alone in the process as well. He answers all questions with a smile and confidence, and practically guides you through all the hard parts. The first lawyer I went couldn't help me, he gave me Mr. Straffi's card. (l'm so grateful to that man because he was a little mean to be honest, I don't even want to imagine how it would have went with him.) If you're curious and reading my review don't hesitate. He handled my case with care and never once made me feel ashamed about my situation. l'm so grateful to him and his staff (they are EQUALLY as helpful and friendly!!) 10/10 definitely recommend. Thanks again Mr. Straffi!!

Ms. Rybar, is an outstanding lawyer. She took my case over from an inadequate lawyer and saved my life. She handled my case all the way through an eleven day trial straight through the closing of our marital home. She did her homework and got me pension money the other lawyer said I wasn’t entitled to and and she had my back when no one else did. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

Agnes helped me keep what is most important to me: my family intact. My ex wife filed a motion to relocate with our 11 year-old son some 3,000 miles away. We had shared custody since our divorce 7 years prior and I had been exercising in excess of 104 overnights per year with him. I didn't really have the resources (due to a very bad child support deal I agreed to in a pro-se PSA) to hire an attorney but I had no choice, fighting the removal was paramount. So I borrowed from family and interviewed several attorneys. Most attorneys I interviewed were very cold, and didn't offer much hope. The one thing that they were all sure about was that this was going to be an expensive case to litigate. Agnes was realistic about my chances but not defeatist. She was also understanding about my financial situation and willing to work with me. Hiring her was the best decision I could have made. I was a very "hands-on" client and Agnes always listened and incorporated my viable arguments into the case. She always replied to me in a timely manner, was never dismissive or condescending. She genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. She was obviously very knowledgeable about family law but that didn't stop her from investigating unique aspects of my case that helped us build a strong argument. At the end of our year-plus battle, the court denied my ex wife's request in unequivocal terms. I could never adequately express my gratitude for the job Agnes did for me and my family and I would recommend her services highly to anyone in need of an honest, hard-working family lawyer.

Angela took the time to not only fully understand my business' needs in order to create the contract, but also to explain the "why's" behind each element and to answer all of my questions. She has so much wisdom to offer and is gifted in her craft. She was clear, kind, supportive, and nonjudgemental. I truly felt safe working with her, which is important to me.

Angela was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her to other business owners. When it comes to legal services, the terminology can be intimidating to understand. But Angela made it feel so easy and organic. She really took into account every aspect of how my business operates and made my contract custom for my business and it's needs. She took the time to listen to me and my wants, needs and concerns; and also to follow up with questions she may have had to get a better understanding to make sure every line was perfect and exactly what I needed. She was responsive, kind and supportive. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal services with a down to earth and compassionate demeanor. Legal processes don't always have to be scary and it definitely wasn't with Angela!

Mr. Sheehy is without a doubt the best attorney you could hire. He made me feel like I could be myself and say everything I wanted to say. Mr. Sheehy is without a doubt the best at answering his phone. He understands that his advice can calm a person who is in a tough situation. His knowledge of the law is second to none. For Mr. Sheehy, unlike other attorneys, he doesn't just talk about the law with no results. Mr. Sheehy tells you what is going to happen and then it happens. Mr. Sheehy also has a presence about him that is rare. A real leader. I could not give a higher recommentation for using Mr. Sheehy.

My wife and I needed help with a bankruptcy. We consulted other attorneys who we were not happy with. We then found Mary Beth, and it was as a weight was lifted from us. She is a fantastic person as well as an attorney, she was very caring to our needs and fully explained every step of the process. She did not overwhelm you with items she needed. During the process she had target dates to get certain items to her for the case, which made it very easy. She also made you feel very comfortable when you went to her office for a meeting or even on a phone call. She even returns phone calls quickly without a second call to her. We would have to say she is one of the best in the business and she has very reasonable fees. We would highly recommend her for your bankruptcy case.

Buying a house was super stressful in so many aspects, but I did not stress about my attorney. Garrick was cool and calm even when I was very stressed out. He answered all of my questions (and I had A LOT) efficiently, clearly, and thoroughly. He responded within a few hours or less depending on the urgency of the situation, so I was never left hanging (which again, when you're closing, can be very stressful). Overall his actions followed his word and he was clear with his advice. It was reassuring to have him on my team when it came down to closing. Thank you (and your paralegal Amy!!) for being there for me for one of the biggest transactions of my life!

Robert Ritacco is knowledgeable, and a great person. He managed a difficult property closing with ease. With both property owners out of town for most of the time, he was able to instruct on what documents were needed, from each of us, for a timely closing. He managed the closing on his own, with signed documents from each owner. I had no reservation in signing over a Power of Attorney, since I trust him completely. He was able to research information relevant to our particular case to our advantage. There were never delays on his part, and he was always accessible to contact at any time. I would definitely recommend Robert Ritacco and would use him in the future, should I ever own another property in the state where he practices. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

I'll try keep this as short as possible so that people actually read it. If you're on this web page it's a great idea to keep reading! The most important thing for people to know is that this review was 100% unsolicited. I have been promised nothing by this firm or its attorneys or employees current or past. I was not asked to do this. I have no affiliation or personal relationship with anyone at this Law Firm. I had two matters, with two different municipalities, that were definatley related and that I needed help with. In my mind they were both serious enough to get an attorney. Both cases were traffic, not criminal. As far as I was concerned, I had major problems. I found Rob Ritacco online and emailed him some facts pertaining to each case. Without stretching the truth, my phone rang within roughly 20-30 seconds later. I actually didn't even answer it because I didn't recognize the number and it didn't even cross my mind that it was him, but it was. I called him right back and a few minutes into the call my mind was totally at ease. It went from end of the world to life as usual for me really quick with that first conversation. Fast forward about 10 days, my first case was over with. Not only was it over with but I didn't even have to appear in court. Mr. Ritacco let me know through email that he felt best about another attorney there Kevin Sheehy handling that matter and it was handled with the results being best case scenario. Pretty good feeling for me. Fast forward once again to today, May 28th. (I was arrested on Mothers Day by the way, which was May 10th) I had been told by Rob that Mr. Sheehy would also be handling my second and more serious case in Toms River. The end result was again absolute best case scenario. Not only did it end in the best way it could have, I was the first case to be heard by the judge and was the first one out of there. Needless to say it couldn't have turned out better and I definatley couldn't be happier. The price I was charged, which I won't disclose for obvious reasons, was unbelievably fair. Keep in mind every case is different, this is only my case. There are a lot of variables and it's always written somewhere that results are never guaranteed when it comes to legal matters. I will guarantee something though. If you have a legal issue that falls under Rob Ritacco's expertise, and especially if it's a traffic matter in Ocean or Monmouth County, Kevin Sheehy and Rob Ritacco are without question the ones to reach out to. Both of them are Toms River guys, have lived here their whole lives and are very well known and respected in Brick and Toms River and most likely anywhere in the surrounding area. You will get 100% effort and will get awesome communication. I personally will only contact these guys if I ever needed an attorney or advice in the future.

Ms. Schreiber has a thorough and accurate knowledge of the disabled. She answered specific questions regarding the guardianship of my very handicapped daughter. Ms. Schreiber became familiar with my daughter's case and did not generalize questions about her disability or her care. She made sure information was provided to me at my convenience, when I was available, and fought for my child not to have to attend a court appearance. This would have been tramatic due to her disabling condition. All questions were answered and I was at ease with the level of confidence she held and passed on to me throughout the guardianship process. I would recommend Ms. Schreiber to those seeking compassionate assistance.

I first met Annemarie about a year ago when I needed someone who I could trust & provide advice on matters of selling my parents place of residence due to illness, passing & the settling of estate matters. It was refreshing to finally have an attorney who took the stress & worry out of handling such matters during extremely difficult times. Once these items were completed, to which great care & attention were given, I then retained her services for my own personal family needs. Again everything went like clockwork; smoothly & without any stress associated with such issues & needs. Annemarie's experience, guidance & assistance on matters regarding estate planning as well as social security disability were/and are invaluable. This is the first time that I can say in all my years of working with attorneys, from a professional & personal standpoint, that someone actually responded back, put forth a plan, executed it, advised well, followed up, made sure "t's" were crossed, "i's" dotted and returned calls & emails in more than a timely fashion. She has two wonderful assistants, Sandra and Grace, who, together and individually, form a great team. Annemarie's values, experience and care for her clients definitely sets her apart from the rest. No one client is the same or has the same need to which Annemarie understands and pays great attention to. Without hesitation, I have already recommended Annemarie to others and will continue to do so.

I want to tell the world that there are to few individuals that would help someone at a short notice. My sister-in-law was in a In a bit of a bind in which she needed a lawyer. It was the weekend and I was looking for one on Google. I call different law firms but none answer the phone. I saw about Brett M. Rosen, Esq on Google. Plus the reviews and I saw it was 24hours open. On a Saturday I call for some help and advice. Mr. Rosen was so polite and so understanding. He help by telling the laws to my case and explaining the situation. So that I could better understand what my sister-in-law was going too. He kept in touch even when I was not his client. He did more than other lawyers. I could imagine what he does to his paying clients. Even though my sister-in-law went a different direction. I am telling you this. Mr. Brett M Rosen is a great person. He is Humble and for the people. If I'm ever in a case that require a criminal lawyer ( which I hope I would never be in) I would no doubt hire him.

    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.

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.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • 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.
