I cannot recommend Allan highly enough for anyone facing the challenging process of divorce. Over the course of two years, Allan provided exceptional support and guidance, making an incredibly difficult time more manageable.
From our first consultation, he demonstrated deep expertise and a compassionate approach. He took the time to understand my unique situation and provided clear, practical advice every step of the way. His strategic thinking and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, from the initial filings to the final settlement.
What truly sets Allan apart is his unwavering dedication and professionalism. He was always accessible, responding promptly to my questions and concerns, and kept me informed about the progress of my case. HIs ability to navigate complex legal issues while maintaining a calm and reassuring demeanor was invaluable.
Throughout the process, he also consistently advocated for my best interests, helping me achieve a fair and equitable resolution. Allan's negotiation skills were top-notch, and he handled every interaction with the opposing party with tact and respect.
Thanks to Allan's hard work and expertise, I was able to come through this experience with a sense of closure and a solid foundation for the future. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective divorce attorney, look no further - Allan is the guy you want in your corner.

We want to thank Ian, Maria and Amber for managing both the closing of our house in Manalapan and the purchase of our new home in Jackson. Both completed on the same day. The coordination was perfectly executed and we would highly recommend them for others. They are extremely professional and we felt very at ease during what is a stressful event in ones lives. Thank you very much.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Poles as my attorney in a custody battle. Not only did Mr. Poles take my case on such short notice, he appeared in court for me with little notice as well. He came prepared, courteous and did everything he could for me and my children. He is very respectful, honest and experienced. I honestly could go on and on about how great he was and how happy I was to retain this law firm. He not only helped me navigate the court system, He helped me to successfully win the custody of my children back in a miraculous timely manner. I would recommend him over and over again! Also, his assistance were so lovely and wonderful and so helpful in my time of need.

With many attorneys, they cause the problems so when the solve the problem, they look like the hero. In the case of Dave, he just gets the job done without any drama. Buying a home is stressful enough. You do not need your attorney adding more stress. Dave gets you to the finish line in a professional way.

There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to Wendy. She went above and beyond handling my case always guiding me and helping me understand what was in my best interest and how to protect myself.
Going through a divorce is a difficult and emotional process but with her at my side every step of the way, I made it through AND got ALMOST if not everything I requested in my MSA.
If you want to have an honest, hard working, diligent lawyer, then you want to hire her!
The alternative is, you can hire a law firm and yes they’ll represent and work for you but you’ll just be their client. Wendy didn’t make me feel like just a client; she truly cared and had compassion about the many complex matters during my divorce.
Thank you Wendy for all you do for your clients. Anyone who hires you is already winning 🫶🏼

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one.
Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney.
During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce.
Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process.
The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well.
In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one.
Five star review.

Mike and his team were wonderful to work with. Mike was recommended to us by our realtor and we were extremely pleased with the outcome. He made our home purchase a smooth and enjoyable process. He guided us with our purchase, giving us options that we didn't even realize were possible. Without Mike's help, we wouldn't be enjoying our new home. Mike went above and beyond, even coming to us for our first meeting, which was both informative and friendly. Mike's team was easy to work with and kept constant communication throughout the process. We would absolutely use Mike and his team in the future and have already recommended him to family. Thanks, Mike.

Michael LiPari and his team are phenomenal. Michael came as a recommendation to us and we could not have been more grateful for it. He made our first home purchase a smooth and enjoyable process. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all aspects of home buying. Additionally, he went the extra mile to accommodate our needs whether is was finance concerns or after hour questions we needed answered. Michael and his team genuinely wanted to make sure we found the right home with the right financing for us. I cannot say enough how much his sincerity and knowledge meant to us as first time home buyers! I would recommend Michael and his team without hesitation and will be using him again for the foreseeable future should we buy another home down the road! Thanks, Mike!

This team deserves way more than 5 stars.
I hardly know where to begin to express my immense gratitude for everyone at the offices of Tomasella and Vacca. Im not sure how to adequately convey my appreciation for this team. This firm genuinely cares about me and my three children.
I have been navigating a very difficult and highly contested divorce that dragged on unnecessarily for over two years. Throughout this period, I faced numerous false allegations, multiple restraining orders, and countless trials and hearings. Victoria was there for it all and knew exactly how to handle my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation, its amazing to see someone work so well in their element.
Thanks to Victoria Tomasella and her team, I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted from the divorce. Victoria Tomasella knew the nuances of my case even better than I did, making me feel as though I was her only client. She was highly professional and extremely prompt in returning all my calls and emails.
Victoria Tomasella exceeded my expectations, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. This amazing team has allowed me to move forward with my life, maintain access to my children, and ultimately achieve the outcome I was hoping for with my divorce.
I would highly recommend this firm.

Victoria Tomasella delivered on what she told me from day one, that i would get 50/50 custody of my daughters. No matter what the other side threw our way, Victoria was quick to advise me on how to respond. When it was obvious the other side was delaying the process, Victoria knew exactly how to handle them and how to make them settle and put a close to this case. I would recommend Victoria to anyone in need of her services.

My experience with Brian Latimer and his staff has been nothing short of exceptional. From the second I reached out to them for help, I knew I had found the firm to help me navigate a truly stressful and emotional child support case.
He and his assistant made the whole process as easy as it could be and took the stress off me. They not only were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, but they listened and handled my fears, many questions and high emotions like I was speaking to a dear friend.
Mr. Latimer's knowledge, dedication, and overall kindness when handling myself and my case exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer both in court and through the whole process look no further. You have found the absolute very best in Brian Latimer and his staff. I am forever grateful for everything they have done for me and the kindness in the process.

It is very remiss of me that I've not written this sooner; however, I am compelled to write this favorable review. As first time homebuyers, we hired Joan Adams to assist with the navigation of of the process with legal implications. From her evaluation of the purchase contract, a drafted Use and Occupancy Agreement, revised addendums, interaction with the Title Company (re: survey and title insurance), finding open items with the Township for permitted work, clarifying ownership of solar system and its SRECs, and representing us at the Real Estate Settlement/Closing...this firm was brilliant. A local attorney with local relationships cannot be undervalued and Adams & Collins Law epitomizes that value.

Margarita provided excellent legal advice while being compassionate and supportive. I never questioned what the status of my case was because Margarita's communication was clear and thorough. She was available when I had an afterhours emergency, or for a scheduled call. Whether we were in mediation, in front of a judge, or dealing with opposing counsel, Margarita was professional, composed, and showed that she had my best interest in mind.
Divorce can be scary, but I am so thankful that I had Margarita by my side from start to finish. I would highly recommend Margarita and encourage anyone needing a family law attorney to reach out to her. She genuinely cares about her clients and I am extremely grateful for her guidance and support through such a daunting and emotional process.

I was gathering my thoughts to write this review of Sarah. All the accolades crossing my mind did not seem adequate. The gratitude I have for Sarah is immeasurable. I decided to read reviews already written. I could identify with some of the personal struggles that were written and understand the sincere sentiments of praise for Sarah. Truly a profound feeling because Sarah helped us navigate through a difficult chapter in our lives. Unfortunately, for most, divorce is not an easy journey especially if children are involved and your ex is difficult. IMHO, Sarah handled every situation with unwavering tenacity, utmost integrity and professionalism. A 5 star review is not enough. Count the stars in the sky and that is how many stars I would give Sarah.

Words can’t do justice to Brad Micklin and his team. My consultation was with Brad.

I worked with Rachel Isaacs as well and she was great. Everyone that I had any interaction with was very courteous and respectful. Everyone was knowledgeable and helped me through this difficult time. Brad made himself available to me at all hours. His wife Carmen is absolutely amazing and was extremely emotionally supportive. I appreciate everything that they have done for me and even now continuing to help me with the ongoing issues that come up with my daughters father. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will definitely use them!

Mrs. Goldenthal has been phenomenal. I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Goldenthal for nearly four years in a custody case for my two children. We had an exceptionally long battle in family court and then in supreme court that resulted in three separate settlements. Since the beginning, she has been compassionate, caring, professional, honest, and incredibly reliable. Without her, I would likely have never seen my children again, let alone have primary custody. She has been there every step of the way for us, and I would absolutely recommend her.
Thank you, Sarah.

I had the privilege of being represented by Sarah, an exceptionally honest and straightforward attorney. I had previously been dealing with another lawyer on my case, but I grew weary of receiving vague responses and never hearing back from him. Frustrated, I made the decision to switch attorneys, and Sarah proved to be the complete opposite of my prior experience. She conducted herself with utmost professionalism, effectively communicated with me, and explained the entire legal process in simple terms. Taking over my case, she achieved in a matter of days what my previous attorney hadn't accomplished in months. I am genuinely delighted with the service she provided and wholeheartedly recommend her. Efficiency and professionalism perfectly capture the essence of my experience with Sarah.

She was prompt in responding to my emails and calls. On a few occasions, when I had a difficult schedule, she agreed to speak with me outside of her regular work hours. I felt very comfortable working with her, and was able to settle my case out of court, which was my ultimate goal.

I originally retained an attorney that came highly recommended from other attorneys in the area. After retaining this attorney, it proved to be the wrong decision due to unresponsiveness and disinterest in my case. I then found Matt Lun through avvo and it could not have been a better experience. Mr. Lun is intelligent and extremely well versed at navigating the divorce process. I felt he was cognizant on client billing and was never overzealous to do something just for the billable hours. A very professional and knowledgeable legal counselor, yet also easy to talk to on a personal level. He provided options on how to proceed during matters, offering the positives and negatives that could impact my decisions. Well worth considering for your family law matters.

I feel free. Don't get me wrong, the divorce process was hard, but Matthew was like a beacon navigating me through the process. I interviewed 6 attorneys before a friend referred me to Matthew and I am so glad I found him. His paralegal is great as well, and really knows her stuff. Perhaps the most important thing I can say is that they really seem to care. I could see that Matthew truly wanted me to get the outcome I deserved, and he made sure my divorce was done right.

And his rates are so very reasonable. My divorce was not overly complicated but he had to deal with two very angry people with a child involved. He knows how to calm the room and I can tell he is highly respected among his peers. Thank you, Matt for all of your help!

I began my divorce in the summer, and Eilish M. McLoughlin (a partner of the firm) took on my case after a consultation. Eilish and her team were nothing short of excellent. She was friendly, accommodating, and answered all of my questions during our one-on-ones. In court, Eilish didn’t mince words and had a laser focus while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She was also very clear with her expectations and timely with all responses - there were no surprises during the process. The entire team at Moskowitz is wonderful, and they make you feel as comfortable as you can be during a divorce proceeding. I highly recommend the firm if you’re seeking representation in a divorce!

Gregg is a staunch advocate for the real potential casualties of divorce; the children. When you have a challenging spouse who wants to rupture the thread of the nuclear family, Gregg will fight tirelessly to protect your interests and theirs. I now have sole custody of my children due to the strength and competence of Mr. Rubenstein and Samantha Latif. I will recommend these attorneys without hesitation. Don’t hire beagles when you need mastiffs. Sincerely, Melissa Bentley M.A.

I waited for months on writing this review in order to find the words that would do this office justice.
I will start by saying that your office exceeded my already high expectations, performance-wise and outcome-wise. You have delivered exceptional results, and I am still amazed with them every day.
After interviewing 9 attorneys over 12 months, I went to see Gregg who straightforwardly explained the process and stressed on the fact that my children’s best interest is of more importance to him than all other parties involved. He earned my trust from the beginning.
Throughout the process that lasted 11 months, Gregg and Samantha have been attentive to every detail, focused and proactive in every move and extremely diligent.
Gregg tried to minimize my expenses in every way possible, worried about my budget more than I myself did, a behavior I have not encountered with any other law firm.
Throughout the conflict, Gregg tried to absorb the ups and downs so I can maintain my calm. He used admirable wisdom when making quick decisions, while keeping the balance on when and how to act quickly and when to hold back and use reason.
Repeatedly have I been told by legal representatives including court panelists, mediators and other attorneys that I was in great hands.
I have not dealt with a more ethical and conscientious firm that maintained this exceptional level of morality and human decency at a very emotional and challenging time in my life.
I couldn’t be more grateful.
If you are in need of a family law attorney, go to Gregg with your eyes closed.

Gregg was representing me in a divorce case that involved a very difficult husband, many obstacles along the way, three children, sale of the home, and court closed due to pandemic. From the first meeting he truly showed care and interest, not just for me but for everyone involved. The empathy that was present throughout the process made this whole experience less gruesome. Gregg was also on point with his legal advice, always reachable and very straightforward. He will let you know if he thinks you are taking an unreasonable position and that truly saves time in this process. You want to have an attorney that will not waste your time and money feeding into your emotionally charged requests. You want an attorney that knows what he is doing, can avoid the pitfalls of the system, can be trusted and represent you fiercely. Being in a divorce, no matter what reason, puts you in a very vulnerable position. Thankfully Gregg was there for me and if you are finding yourself in the same position there is no doubt in my mind that Gregg is the best choice.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You
A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.
Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:
- Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
- Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
- Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
- Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
- Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
- Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
- Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.
What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?
A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
- Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
- Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
- Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
- Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
- Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.
How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?
Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
- Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.
How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
- Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
- Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
- Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
- Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
- Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
