I am extremely grateful to have met Mr. Jeremy Klausner of Jeremy Klausner Law P.C and retain him as my attorney.
As the work on my case progressed, his knowledge of law and his professional skills and ability to grasp the nuances and handle complicated situations became evident.
There are differences between law firms. Mr. Jeremy Klausner has clearly demonstrated this difference with his astute judgement and actions, sound and steadfast guidance, which has led me through an adverse situation. He has always been straightforward in his dealings and has found perspectives that lead to solutions.
In my particular situation, his abilities were a great asset when we were “on the frontline” where there is no time to think. This is where I valued his experience, his broad knowledge of law which was enhanced by his knowledge of accounting, and that he could use all his knowledge to take a firm stand from a clear point of view.
In another incident which impressed me, is when Jeremy put my interest above his own. He clearly explained the value as well as the limits of the effectiveness of his abilities and the importance and timing of when to bring in another expert that would benefit my situation.
Although this course of action adversely affected Jeremy personally, by following his selfless guidance and retaining outside expertise made a positive difference in my case.
He also has a personal code, which I realized after observing the manner in which he conducted all his interactions with integrity, courtesy and consideration, and this ‘code’ was extended to all his dealings with everyone (with his clients as well as opposing counsel too).
Thanks are not enough to Mr Jeremy Klausner of Jeremy Klausner Law P.C. who is an excellent, knowledgeable and wise attorney, for guiding me and representing my interests sincerely and consistently.
I would be glad to recommend Jeremy Klausner Law PC to anyone seeking good legal advice and representation in any of the fields of his expertise.

We had some issues with undisclosed easement on our property when we bought it. We emailed to maybe 20 attorneys in the area and Jeremy was the only one who was willing to help us.
Mr. Krauser was very professional and easy to deal with. He really cares about his clients and his fees were very reasonable. He did really great research about the problem and he was always right whatever he said. My wife and I are very satisfied with his service and results that he delivered. He was contacting us for any updates in the case and explaining every step of the same. We highly recommend Mr. Krauser’s service, he is a genuine attorney and you won’t regret to choose him.
Thank you so much for everything Jeremy Krauser.

Being faced with a divorce in my first marriage I wasn't sure how to navigate the process nor what to expect. Going in with a very unsettled feeling and wanting to be protected, Attorney Clarke created the space to be educated on the process & awareness of what to expect. The uglier & more tedious the process became I begin to worry, Attorney was instrumental in reeling me back in assuring its all part of the process and I'm good. She relentlessly fought for me every step of the way ensuring the outcome I desired. I could not ask for a better attorney to hold my hand going through this. If you're looking for an attorney that will go to war to protect your vested interest by all means the buck stops here. THE GOAT!

Confident, Knowledgeable, Reliable! Ms. Clarke is at the top of her game, by far the best of the best. Her experience and focus helped guide me thru the overwhelming divorce process. A true professional, she can go toe to toe with any advisory with integrity and receipts! Her self assurance and mastery of the system proved positive. It was important to me to be informed, have access and frequent communication. She delivered connecting with me all the way. Ms Clarke is resourceful and considerate of your time which is your money. Unlike many other attorney's, her efficiency doesn't weigh you down with minutiae and delay tactics. I highly recommend her, don't wait!

The thoughts of ending a 33 year marriage were crippling me! I was not sure if I could even commit to healing the wounds, rebuilding, and opening my heart up to love again.
Kecia Clarke-Michel, Girlfriend’s Divorce Concierge did all that they promised and more! Kecia kept it real (sometimes a little too real LOL). Where I was weak, Kecia remained strong! She supported and guided me legally as well as encouraged me to emotionally heal and rebuild to ensure that I came out of my divorce with not only the financial security needed for my future but also clarity and confidence to take charge of my new life.
Because of Kecia and her team, I have the power and confidence to move forward to live the best life possible after my divorce and I’m equipped and determined not to repeat the same toxic emotional patterns of the past!

I sought help from Mr. Brown following a 2013 auto accident where I was rear-ended while stopped at a red light. From start to finish Mr. Brown and his staff were very helpful with the situation. Mr. Brown helped me obtain a valuable settlement for my injuries. His knowledge of personal injury law is unparalleled. He also gave me great advise on insurance options to make sure I was adequately insured. I could not have asked for a better or more professional experience from this law firm.

I have been trying to purchase real estate for about 2 yrs. After 3 failed contracts (at no fault of our own) and a whirlwind of a closing, we finally did it! As Mr. Brown would put it, my closing was a closing from "Hell's hell!" Lol. This was a Murphy's Law scenerio. It took us about a year to cross the finish line, but we did it! Literally, Mr. Brown made it happen!! He always backed me up 100%, he kept me informed with every new development (regardless of how minute) and proved to me, time and time again, that he working in my best interest. Tenacious, uncompromising, diligent, patient, and the best sense of humor! There is nothing more this 1st time homeowner could have asked for!

I have worked in the NJ and NY market for over 12 years. My company has dealt with many law firms both large and small. There is not a more professional, dedicated and dynamic law firm around. Joe and his team are not only knowledgeable but a pleasure to deal with. I personally can say i'm not a big fan of dealing with lawyers whether it be in real estate, litigation, contracts, mediations, etc. However, that all changed when i met Joe DiPasquale. The bottom line is you would be doing yourself a disservice by not using his Joe and his firm.

After working with Morris and a host of other attorneys over the past decade, I can state, without qualification, that Morris is one of the finest all-around attorneys available in the US. He is superior in response and turn around times, he is thorough and thoughtful with his advise, and he is continually looking for ways to make our business easier and less risky to contract. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any business looking for an experienced and capable adviser and advocate.

Remi Spencer was referred to us by a friend of ours. I was being accused of a serious driving infraction when I actually had a stroke. This was very upsetting to my wife and I. Remi knew how to manage our fears and emotions. She is compassionate and caring, yet she is very stern. Remi is incredibly knowledgeable of the law and knew exactly what needed to be done. She did not back down when facing the prosecutor. She was able to get my case totally dismissed. We can't thank her enough for everything that she has done for us. We will refer her to anyone who is in need of an attorney.

Remi is an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove. On the one hand, she couldn't have been more empathetic, kind and generous with her client, my son. I also saw her behave with great friendliness and charm with police and prosecutors.
On the other hand, she didn't hesitate to be blunt, direct and firm: both with us, and with the justice system.
We could not have hired a better lawyer.

Ms. Spencer was recommended to me by a friend in NJ. I had a case in NJ from 20 years ago. Ms. Spencer and her team handled it with the upmost professionalism and care. She was not only a great attorney but also a great person. She cared about my case and wanted to make sure that I received the best outcome. I am also in another state and she was able to address the case and get it resolved for me and keep me in the loop the whole time, so I knew exactly what was happening. She spoke to me about what would be happening and followed through on every promise. In the end she got the whole case dismissed. I could not have asked for a better outcome. She is will represent you very well and will get you the best outcome she can. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer.

Richard Greifinger is an amazing attorney. He is super personable and takes the time to listen and understand the cases he deals with. Richard spent almost hours on the phone with me during the initial consultation, asking questions and going into details. He proceeded to go over all of the documents related to the case and called me that he would be willing to take on this case. Richard would update me frequently with what was happening in the process and he brought the case to resolution. He was also able to get my attorney fees covered, so the settlement paid him so what I paid him was refunded to me. Richard is a very professional lawyer that loves a challenge. I would recommend him for any complex litigation needs.
