I have worked with the Law Office of James Miner since 2006 until 2024. During the 18 years span, James and his team, provided excellent service for the purchase and sale of 2 NJ homes. They are not only knowledgeable, but courteous and quick to respond to questions providing excellent customer service. Now that we moved to MA, I hope to find a real estate legal office that can provide such great level of service. Thanks Jim ad Tim for all your help over this years. I am so glad to witness how much the office ha grown, which is in itself a testament of the great job you do.

We had such a great experience with Jim and his team! We worked with Jim on the purchase of our condo a few years ago and decided to work with his team again when we were looking to move to new home because of our experience with them. Our new home purchase was a new construction home, and we could not have an agent represent us in the purchase so that heightened our concerns initially. However, Jim and his team put those concerns to rest fairly easily. They were there for us every step of the way – no matter how many questions we had or how many times we reached out, Jim and his team were always there to answer. Their breadth of experience made us feel so comfortable about every decision we made. From initially entering into the contract, all the way until closing a few months later, Jim always stayed in touch to ensure things were moving along as we expected or if there was anything we needed further clarification on. As we get closer to the closing date and things moved quickly, Jim and his team were always very timely in responding to any requests, whether from the bank, builder’s attorney, builder’s rep, etc. When we finally got to closing day, as nervous as we were, Jim made the process seem effortless. He was well prepared with everything we needed, knew exactly where and what we had to sign and where it needed to go. We finished all our paperwork for the closing surprisingly quickly due to Jim’s preparedness. We had such a great experience with his team that we decided to have them represent us in the sale of our current home as well.
We would highly recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and experienced real estate attorney. They’re the best!

I used the Law Office of James Miner on the sale of my home (this was my first time selling a home). Everything was explained to me up front in a clear and professional manner. Any question (email or phone call) was never a bother.
Jim and Elise made this stressful process very easy for me. I am grateful for their service and will definitely recommend/use again if purchasing another home is in my future! Thank you again!

Dulinski Law is amazing. Laurie Madziar has provided counsel to me for the past few years and she has always been spot on. Communications have always been accurate, concise and to the point as not to waste time and money. Taylor's para legal skills are without a doubt second to no one.

Ms. Ritter was a pleasure to work with, she worked in a timely manner, was always there to explain any filings and court works that occurred. Melanie represented us in a professional manner. Even though we were out-of-state, she kept us on top of everything that was happening.
We would not have been so successful without her commitment to our case. She was diligent, persevering and just plain helpful.
I would seek her help again.

I had no idea estate planning was so important until my mom was diagnosed with cancer and had 6 weeks to live. A neighbor recommended Nicholas Giuditta. The first phone call and meeting sealed the deal. His compassion, understanding, and willingness to guide me thru this process when time was of the essence lifted a large burden off of my shoulders. Estate planning at any time is overwhelming but Nick was there with professional guidance and a shoulder to lean on every step of the way. He was always willing to answer any questions, give legal advice, and assist in handling a lot of family drama. I was so pleased with Nick’s services, that my husband and I actually did ‘our’ estate planning with Nick. I would highly recommend Nicholas Giuditta! You not only receive the best professional help but also make a friend in the process!

Nick Giuditta was there during the worst days of my life. It's not often when you come across a lawyer who really cares. He was instrumental in settling my father's estate. His guidance is what I had hoped for. He effectively communicated each step that needed to be taken and made certain I had a clear understanding of the process. He is empathetic towards his clients needs and also builds a strong rapport with those he interacts with. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is searching for a lawyer.

I contacted Mr. Giuditta to discuss the possibilities of my case regarding a potential litigation situation related to the settlement of an estate. He was very generous with his time over the phone. I ended up hiring him and was extremely pleased with his attention to my situation. Mr. Giuditta returned phone calls in a very timely fashion, replied to my emails and keep me updated with my case. He has a very pleasant manner, addressed my questions thoroughly and with patience. The final settlement of my situation was within the time frame he stated and the concluding details were handled without a problem. I highly recommend him should your situation fall within his expertise. NO hesitation in my mind !

In turning to Mr Strauss I was feeling very vulnerable, in pain, and like I was at a dead end in being able to get the help I needed. Mr Strauss and staff were very helpful to facilitate the care I needed to stabilize my health. Mr Strauss always reviewed all the facts, the pros and cons to any situation that arose, and helped me navigate the complexity of what my rights were to get the care I needed to be able to function again. Mr Strauss was able to settle my case reasonably and without having to go through a lengthy litigation process. I feel he was able to negotiate and settle the matter that he was handling with my best interest in mind at all times. Thank you again for a job well done. If I ever needed your assistance again or knew anyone who did I would certainly call or recommend without hesitation.

Mr. Strauss has shown me dedication beyond my belief. He has helped me push forward when i started to lose hope and for that, i am extremely grateful. When i felt my case would be a loss, he helped show me the full picture and succeeded in my case. His integrity and morals towards individuals, whether a consultation or a client, brighten the mood and helps those in need. I will forever use Mr. Strauss as my attorney and i will continue to refer him to family, friends, co-workers as well as others in need. Thank you Mr. Strauss for everything.

Jeffrey Strauss is a professional, compassionate, man of integrity. He listens, cares, is honest and will bring you his years of experience to guide you as to the best course of action to follow. He works hard, always with your best interests at heart. Mr. Strauss referred me to a doctor who has been invaluable to my treatment and recovery, as he is very knowledgeable of many in the medical profession. I strongly recommend him. He is a pleasure to deal with and comforting to have by your side when feeling most vulnerable.

I worked directly and frequently with Mr. Jason Grauch for several years licensing patents in a corporate environment that involved the semiconductor electronics industry. Jason's calm demeanor, as well as his in-depth knowledge of patent law, always made me feel like we were the smartest team in the room. I traveled with Jason in stressful conditions in Asia many times and I always enjoyed his pleasant conversation both in and out of our business environment. Jason was often assigned the most difficult legal interpretations, but he never avoided the challenge and always offered the most detailed and comprehensive opinions. I would recommend Jason Grauch for any legal matter.

Michael handled the appeal when the children were relocated to California. He was very accurate and his grasp of the facts and legal issues thorough. He approached the issues from both perspectives although his aggressive advocacy resulted in a remand on the main issue of relocation. Bravo.

Navigating the immigration process can be incredibly stressful, not just for the individual but for their entire family. My husband has been on this journey since 2016, and after working with four different lawyers who only complicated matters and delayed our progress, we were fortunate to find Nadine Amaya.
Initially, we were skeptical of attorneys due to our prior experiences, but Nadine quickly proved us wrong. Her honesty, knowledge, and straightforward approach made all the difference. She meticulously handled every aspect of our case, ensuring that all paperwork was filed correctly and efficiently. Thanks to her diligence, my husband’s IR1 visa was not only approved but the entire process was surprisingly stress-free.
I cannot recommend Nadine Amaya highly enough. If you or a family member is facing an immigration process, trust me, you want her on your side. She truly cares about her clients and delivers results.Thank you for everything Nadine !

**Outstanding Immigration Attorney! Highly Recommend!**
I cannot speak highly enough of Nadine and her exceptional legal services. I hired her to assist with my I-601A waiver case for my IR-1 visa, and I am beyond grateful for her expertise and dedication throughout the entire process.
From our first consultation, Nadine was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain every detail of the process and ensuring I understood what to expect. She was attentive to my specific situation, offering tailored advice that was crucial in navigating the complexities of immigration law.
Her communication skills are excellent. Nadine was always responsive to my questions and concerns, promptly returning calls and emails. She kept me informed at every step, providing updates and ensuring I felt supported. It was clear she genuinely cared about my case and well-being.
The preparation of my application was thorough. Nadine paid careful attention to every detail, helping gather the necessary documentation and ensuring everything was accurate. Her meticulous approach gave me confidence that my case was in great hands.
Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my I-601A waiver was approved, and I received my IR-1 visa! I can't thank Nadine enough for her support and guidance during such a challenging time. She has made a significant difference in my life.
If you're looking for an immigration attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Nadine.
Thank you once again, Nadine You've changed my life for the better!

Asked to take on a wage and hour case that the owner admitted not paying the right hourly rate or overtime and I was told it was too hard to take. I wonder what they do take. Must be just settlements out of court. Because I can't see them being any good in court if they can't take a did you pay a person or not. And that comes from a relative of one of the owners of the firm so sad.

Mr stahl care only about money and does not want to fight for his clients. Nor does he want to speak with anyone I spent weeks trying to have a conversation with him for him never to return my calls emails or any other communication he shows up unprepared and won’t even respect the courts enough to stand up when asked all to rise. He asked me for more money before we went to court and when I asked him what he has done for the retainer I already paid him he could not give me an answer. It’s sad when you put your confidence in somewhere and the won’t give you any respect I hope this review will help someone from wasting their money and costing them in life. You should be ashamed of your self Mr stahl

Darin Pinto is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and was extremely helpful when foreclosure of my home was evident. He lead my wife and I through the process and assisted in reducing our stress level. He was always available to talk and provided a sense of comfort knowing we were in good hands. He has been my attorney for the past thirteen years assisting with other financial issues including bankruptcy. I have always been satisfied with his services and that of his staff. He supports his clients with a can do attitude and brings about the best possible resolution.

My wife and I moved from out-of-state and were connected with Darin through our real estate agent (she gave us a list of 4-5 names). I called a couple of the names on the list and they all seemed great, but I knew Darin was our guy within a minute of talking to him.
I think the main thing I'd underscore about Darin (among many other strengths) is that he just puts you at ease. I won't be trite and say that Darin makes you feel like he's helping a family member, but he comes pretty darn close. The home buying process is extremely stressful -- even if you've done it before -- and we just felt like we didn't have anything to worry about legally in going with Darin.
Besides having such a great demeanor, Darin is extremely knowledgable, responsive, assertive when he has to be, and just overall was a pleasure to work with. I honestly can't recommend Darin more (to the point where I'm taking time on Memorial Day weekend to hopefully help someone else find a great lawyer).

David was recommended to us as a great negotiator, perfect attorney for first-time homebuyers. We utilized his services to get the attorney review done on our new home in Jersey City (and on a different house that we didn't end up closing), David was very professional, diligent and responsive throughout the process, we felt very safe and in good legal hands as we closed on the house..
Highly highly recommended!

Going through this divorce was the most difficult road I’ve had to take in my life up to this point. Throughout the process Saminski Fuller stood with me and helped me navigate towards a conclusion that gave me my freedom and a positive outlook on my new life. Siobhan Fuller was incredible to work with, she was always prepared, helped me understand information if I was confused by any legal jargon and worked with me to reach the best possible outcome. She made me feel safe, heard and supported during this process. I also have to mention Linda Salazar, I felt lost at times dealing with all the legal paperwork and Linda was very kind and patient with me any time I felt stuck. I’d highly recommend this law firm anytime someone finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of divorce. I can never thank Saminski Fuller law enough for helping come out on the other side of this whirlwind feeling positive and hopeful towards my future

I have had a number of cases wherein Michael Magaril was my adversary and dozens more where he served as mediator. As an adversary, Michael is very, very knowledgeable, professional and quite adept at getting to a resolution. He practices with absolute integrity. As a mediator, he is one of the most popular and trusted matrimonial mediators in Union County. I constantly recommend him to my colleagues and clients. His personality is such that both sides leave the mediation session pleased that his/her position has been heard and considered. He resolves a very high percentage of these cases.

Michael made a very ugly and stressful divorce, tolerable. In the beginning, he told me to prepare for a marathon and not a sprint..he was right. His professionalism, knowledge, and hard work got me a better result than I had ever expected. Michael was always available to talk, whether by phone, email or text. This includes nights and weekends. Not many lawyers would respond to your text on a Friday evening! Highly recommended.

He asked me for more money before we went to court and when I asked him what he has done for the retainer I already paid him he could not give me an answer. It’s sad when you put your confidence in somewhere and the won’t give you any respect I hope this review will help someone from wasting their money and costing them in life. You should be ashamed of your self Mr stahl

Asked to take on a wage and hour case that the owner admitted not paying the right hourly rate or overtime and I was told it was too hard to take. I wonder what they do take. Must be just settlements out of court. Because I can't see them being any good in court if they can't take a did you pay a person or not. And that comes from a relative of one of the owners of the firm so sad.

As a client of Gretchen, I can confidently say she is an outstanding attorney. From the very beginning, she was upfront and honest with us, which we truly appreciated. Her strong work ethic was evident throughout the process, and she took the time to thoroughly educate us on the purposes and benefits of establishing a trust. There aren’t many attorneys out there with her level of integrity, and we are grateful to have the chance to work with her. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal guidance.

The staff was exceptional but no one advocated for me on any of the issues and I ended up getting screwed by the seller from every angle. A lot of issues after closing and no reply, no advice, no sorry it’s a done deal….nothing. Very disappointed

I have never retained Mr. Vanarelli as an attorney. But I do remember him from college when he was part of a student exchange program at California State University-Chico from Montclair College in New Jersey. Even back then Don was known for his intelligence, compassion, integrity and honesty. Those are definitely qualities would look for in an attorney.

We initially hired Mr. Vanarelli's law firm to initiate a guardianship proceeding on behalf of our young adult son with special needs. While we were at it we decided to update our wills and related documents. From the consultation through the court order, we received thoughtful consideration of our needs, advice, guidance and support, along with expertise and experience. It was a stressful process for us that was made much easier by Don and his very caring staff. and we achieved our goals without any unnecessary stress or problems.

We hired Mr. Vanarelli to plan our mother's estate and later to prepare her Medicaid application. Because his office executed both of these tasks so expertly and with such respect and kindness, we were all put at ease and many family resources were secured. Mr. Vanarelli and the staff in his office were all topnotch, and extremely thorough. They responded quickly to questions and kept us informed throughout the lengthy and complicated Medicaid application process, which ultimately resulted in an approval. Our experience was completely satisfying, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire him again if the need ever arises.
