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.

I recently had to go through a divorce which is a very emotional process. I considered the possibility of filling out all the paperwork with my husband at the time. It was overwhelming to me. I decided to hire a lawyer, Jennifer E. Flatow. Well worth the cost. She wasted no time, made sure all the information needed was gathered, and was sensitive to my feelings throughout. Jennifer is a "down to earth" gal, not a slick distant snooty lawyer. I felt comfortable talking with her. In addition, she was courtesy towards my ex-husband which was important to me. I will always be grateful for her helping hands during a very difficult transition.

The Weinberg & Cooper Law Firm was more than I expected. Their service was swift and precise. The woman power in that office speaks volumes. They are a group of exceptional women who get you the results you need. It was an emotional roller coaster for me my case, but these ladies put my mind at ease and helped through the finish line. If you ever need a law firm to represent you make sure you look them up. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

This is twice I needed Kathy's help, once for a divorce and now to close on the purchase of a house. Each time, with the help of her paralegal Sandy, she guided me through the process. They were always there to answer my questions and provide advice. They handles any issues, in each case, professionally before the issue becoming difficult. Thanks!

I have nothing but gratitude and praise for the manner in which Ms. River’s handled my case especially being that I am 3,000 miles away from Her and never personally met her. Ms. Rivers always answered my phone calls and email, kept on top of the case and kept me completely informed over the 2-year period that the case was pending. Ms. Rivers is very meticulous in strategizing and proficient and aggressive in her ability to litigate without folding AND getting the result that is deserved. I would 100% use Ms. River’s services again when and if needed AND would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services. Ms. Rivers is an intelligent fighter and she knows how to win.

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.

I hired Sarah G because of her level-headed, practical approach to my case. She advised me, presented me with options, and always respected my decisions. 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.

Ashley is an excellent lawyer. I would recommend her and her staff to anyone needing a divorce or family lawyer. She helped me throughout my long and drawn out very contentious divorce. We were in mediation with another very sub par lawyer, and she helped me to de-escalate many times and stay the course, as well as help me ensure that I understood repercussions of certain decisions being made in our settlement agreement. I don't know what I would have done throughout this process without her guidance and knowledge of NJ family law. Her staff is very organized and prompt. Can not recommend her enough.

I am so happy I decided to retain Ashley for my child custody case. Not only was she extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but she did not let the other parties walk all over me. She had myself and my child in her corner the whole time and didn't back down in the most professional way. HIGHLY recommended! She gets it done!

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!

My family retained Maurice Giro about 2 years ago regarding a family matter. The case was just settled. It was a long road but we did it. It was a pleasure working with Maurice and Yohana.

I highly recommend Giro & Associates.

What can I say…
Maurice and I had a small bump on the road. Overcoming obstacles, Mr. Giro was able to get me out of a very difficult situation against a malicious attorney who practices law with threats. Maurice was able to navigate through the situation and handle the matter professionally, ethically and gave me the reassurance that justice will prevail despite frightening allegations against me. Now, with facts and evidence, the perpetrators are now starting to reveal themselves to the justice system. I’m confident that Maurice can resolve complicated issues. Maurice knowledge of the law stemming from a great school, former prosecutor and public defender, has my confidence that we can take on any task before him.

Going into my domestic violence/divorce case, I knew it was going to be difficult. I had tried to leave before, but would feel scared and powerless trying to navigate the complicated family court system with previous attorneys. All I can say is that I am eternally grateful that Rawan was recommended to me this time around!
Rawan is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hard-working. She was easy to get in touch with and very compassionate when interacting with/advising me. She was exceptional in her communication with the opposing counsel and in the courtroom. I got the best results I could have asked for. Honestly, after my first meeting with Rawan, I felt confident that this time was going to be different and, luckily, I was right. I cannot say enough great things about Rawan. Highly recommend!!

Kali is that needle in the haystack that you are looking for everywhere - very hard to find a lawyer like her between all the hay that is around here.
I have been working with Kali for over a year on a family court case about the best interest of our child and have been successful in every one of my requests because of her. She is very thorough and diligent. She will not forget anything you tell her and is treating your case as if it was her own. She is a very good negotiator and professionally approaches every situation she will be confronted with - she is pulling though and will represent you and your loved ones in every aspect while giving you excellent guidance of where to invest your energy and where to rethink your position.
I am referring anybody with a legal problem to her and can guarantee you that you will be glad you contacted her - you want her on your and your children's side!
Thank you Kali!

I contacted Mrs. Trahanas a few years ago to aid in representing me in an issue I had with AT&T. I was told by many that my efforts would be fruitless. The many did not know Kali. She worked hard in representing myself, the little guy, vs the Behemoth AT&T. Kali was not only attentive to my plight but truly was empathetic. I have retained the legal services of others in the past but shall not seek the services of another going forward. Besides having an impeccable steel trap legal mind with a keen eye for the proper angles to solve your legal troubles you can’t help but to feel Kali represents you as not only an amazing lawyer with a firm grasp of her craft but as a friend. When your tackling a legal issue there is no better feeling then having a friend besides you in your fight . Two years ago I hired a lawyer, today I not only have a an amazing lawyer but can’t help to feel a friend as well. It’s that personal connection and empathy towards your troubles that places Kali head and shoulders above the rest.

Patricia Powers-Simonelli represented me in a divorce. The marriage lasted decades and there were some assets. My ex and I had come to an agreement on the division of the assets, although he waivered back and forth. Pat listened to me, understood how I wanted the divorce handled, understood that I did not want to be spending loads of time going over old records, coming up with budgets, expenses, going to court, etc. This was in complete contrast to my ex's attorney, who I felt wasted time, caused the completion of unnecessary paperwork, filed forms incorrectly, etc. Pat found errors in the legal papers and time frames that could have presented numerous problems for me. Pat is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient. She kept me posted via emails and was available beyond regular office hours. I appreciate that Pat respected my wishes to just "have it be done with". I believe Pat did a great job for me and definitely kept my budget in mind.
I was very impressed with Pat and would use her again for legal matters and highly recommend her.

Honesty, integrity and reliability are three words I would use to describe Paul Lomberg.

He explained every last detail with patience and understanding and was always willing to entertain discussions on any questions I had. Paul kept me calm and focused and I am so grateful for finding such an outstanding attorney.

In a nutshell, without the need to mention names I initially went to a good experienced veteran lawyer and was surprised when he lost his confidence in our family's case and suddenly wanted to settle for less (basically to convince us to settle case for personal property damages only). Then we met Kristen & she believed in our case. Kristen took over the case, worked on it diligently, and eventually hit a home run. She was very bright and did a great job in handling our case. My family was very satisfied at Kristen's professionalism, character, interpersonal communication skills, and sharp legal knowledge. If any of my friends or relatives needed to consult a lawyer, I would recommend Kristen without reservation.

I hired Pat as my divorce attorney in 2005 and have remained in touch with her since and have recommended her many times to others. As an attorney she is caring, professional, knowledgeable, and intelligent. What I appreciated the most about Pat was she would provide honest, sound advice. Divorce is an emotional business to be in, and no matter how upset or angry I was, she would remain level headed, had the ability to calm me down and make sure I was making the correct decision, not a rash one. When it came to dealing with my ex-husband's lawyer she was in control, and I felt confident she was just smarter. Most importantly, Pat truly cares about her clients. If children are involved the decision that is best for the child is always her first choice. I have the utmost respect for Pat and have nothing negative to say about her.

I retained Ms. Belcher in December 2018. My high conflict Parental Alienation case was a hornets nest of issues. Georgeann handled my case (and me) with professionalism, honesty and most important to me, empathy. She was able to quickly understand and adapt to the many constant challenges put upon our case by my ex-wife. She was always available and active in achieving the goal of reuniting my with my twin daughters. Georgeann was very diligent and determined to fight for our rights in a quagmire situation with many persons involved. She was able to navigate my case with precision and persistence. I recommend her to others fighting for their parental rights.

Georgeann is nothing short if amazing! She is extremely professional yet makes you feel like you're best friends! Throughout my divorce process she was great about keeping me updated every step of the way, explaining everything and helping to allay my frustrations. She really knows her stuff, and while she's very fair, doesn't back down from getting what is best for her client. I walked away from my divorce very pleased with how everything went.
Fast forward 6 months and I receive a new motion from my ex and his new attorney...my first call was to Georgeann! She has been amazing, as expected, and I am extremely confident that everything will work out just fine again!
I highly recommend Georgeann and will continue to tell everyone I can about her!

I'm Oswaldo from Porto Viejo, Ecuador. I own a transportation business. I have been a client of Mr. Gomez for almost 10 years. My father is the one who recommended him to me. My father has used Gomez since the 90's. Altogether, between my father and me we have given Mr. Gomez over 8 cases to resolve. In all of these cases he has always won with excellent results and friendly help. As far as consultations, whenever I need guidance (even if I don't have a case), I have relied on Mr. Gomez' advice. Even my girlfriend, Soledad, has consulted with him upon my recommendation. She was also impressed with this guy.
We want to thank you Mr. Gomez for being there for us throughout the years and are very grateful for your help. We are writing this review as a gesture of thanks and hope you may read it one day.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
