Kevin was beyond exceptional. I had such a stressful case with family law and DV, however with Kevin as my attorney I always knew what to expect and what our next step was. You won’t find another attorney as well versed in law as Kevin is and as empathetic to your family needs. Every and any question was always answered , I was represented and treated professionally and recommend him to everyone I come across and I won’t be going to anyone else.

I have worked with a significant amount of lawyers over the years while paying child support for 23 years. Kevin was by far the best by far. He was attentive and straight forward, was always available for any questions I had and had the knowledge to be able to take on my more complex case. If you need a great lawyer you need not look any further then Kevin Orr.

I contacted the office to discuss a real estate transaction. Mr. Tamburino was extremely patient dealing with me, as this was my first home purchase. The realtor was so eager to close the deal she was not protecting me. Mr. Tamburino stepped in and took my back. I was so impressed by his compassion not to to see me railroaded. And he made a house call for my aging parents who needed to have their wills done as well as a medical directive and power of attorney. I was treated like a family member rather than the nervous client I was. I’m grateful for his guidance and support.

I met Gerard at a fundraising event for homeless animals. I explained in detail the dilemma I was having with my tenants. He suggested I contact his office and arrange a meeting. His staff was very warm and receptive to the nature of my call. Mr. Tamburino discussed at length my options and was responsive to all of my follow up phone calls. I retained his services and he has been successful addressing my issues in landlord tenant court.

After meeting with half a dozen of New Jersey's top lawyers (some of which were recommended through business acquaintances) I was disappointed and let down, until I finally found Jeff while doing a Google search online.
With my busy work schedule, Jeff offered to come to my office FREE OF CHARGE to discuss the nature of my situation and possible solutions. Already by the first 10 minutes I was convinced he was the right guy to handle my case, which involved insurance liability loss coverage.
Hiring Jeff as my lawyer was the best decision that I made. He started to work on my case right away, as he promised. He dug deep into the policy's hidden loopholes and nailed the insurance company - finding them negligent.
Jeff brought victory with his cool attitude and knowledge. I highly recommend Mr. Jeff Plaza to all who face difficult times as I did.

I am fortunate to share the review of Jeff Plaza based on the outstanding service that he provided to me on a time sensitive issue. Jeff was a referral from a colleague and quickly engaged with me direct on my legal needs. He was honest and provided me with a sense of urgency that was beyond my expectations.
I was able to quickly address direct with the opposition and also Jeff helped us to be heard within the NY State Supreme Court with his strong relationships.
I share my compliments with much experience in dealing with attorneys via company related affairs across many firms where i have acted as a Senior Vice President. They have never gone as well or with as much focus and care as i received from Jeff and team.
I would recommend Jeff for anyone who needs an honest, trustworthy and capable attorney.

Jeffrey Plaza responded to my requirements re my legal situation in a very timely and professional manner. He kept me informed and his billing to the minimum while resolving my case. This was very appreciated as he was located in Pennsylvannia and my company was located in Florida. I highly recommend his services.

Rachel Kugel and Her Team Cleared My Name
As a healthcare professional, I’m usually very private about my personal matters, especially online. But I felt compelled to share my story about how Rachel Kugel and her amazing team saved my career. Due to some policy issues, I’m writing this under an anonymous profile, but what I went through was very real.
I was falsely accused and arrested for a DUI, along with a refusal to take a breathalyzer test. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I knew these charges could destroy everything I’d worked so hard for in my career. I was desperate and didn’t know where to turn.
That’s when I found Rachel Kugel. From the very first conversation, I felt a glimmer of hope. Rachel didn’t just see me as another case—she believed in my innocence and was determined to fight for me. She walked me through every step of the process with confidence and care, never once making me feel like I was in this alone.
Rachel and her team worked tirelessly to uncover the truth and challenge the charges against me. Against all odds, they were able to get both the DUI and the refusal charges dismissed. The outcome was something I didn’t even think was possible. It felt like a miracle.
I’m still in shock at what Rachel was able to achieve. Because of her, I was able to clear my name and continue with my life and career. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for her expertise and dedication. If you ever find yourself in a tough situation, Rachel Kugel is the person you want in your corner. She truly saved me.

Please be cautious of this law firm. Several warning signs should not be ignored. Mr. Brown, in particular, was highly problematic. He attempted to have me undergo anger management without my knowledge as part of a deal he made with the prosecutor. Neither he nor the law firm returned my calls, and he failed to appear in court when required. He lacked communication skills and legal knowledge. He seemed more interested in cutting deals with prosecutors than defending clients' rights. I eventually had to hire another lawyer who could highlight the inconsistencies in the false charges against me, resulting in the dismissal of the case.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Rasheedah Terry during a very difficult time after the passing of my father. From the outset, Rasheedah demonstrated a deep understanding of estate law and expertly guided me through the complex process of settling my father’s affairs. She was incredibly compassionate, making sure I felt supported and informed at every step.
Rasheedah’s attention to detail and thoroughness were evident as she helped navigate probate, handle asset distribution, and address all legal matters related to my father’s estate. She was always available to answer my questions and ensured that every concern was addressed with care and professionalism.
Her calm and confident demeanor in what could have been a stressful situation truly made a difference. I highly recommend Attorney Rasheedah Terry for anyone dealing with the sensitive matters of a loved one’s estate. Her expertise and compassion are unmatched!

Incredibly terrible law office. Lack of communication is their biggest issue. My attorney changed 4 times and I was only notified once of the change. During my case I moved out of state and the office made a doctor’s appointment for me. In order to make that appointment I had to take off work and my husband had to take off a week of work (no pay) because we have animals and there was no one to watch them so we had to drive to NJ. When I get there, the doctor’s appointment is cancelled and no one notified me. We kindly asked for some kind of compensation because we just took a week off work with no pay for literally no reason, we were told “that’s not going to happen.” When I was supposed to originally receive my settlement check, it was expired bc the amount had changed from the beginning of the case. The paralegal who was working on that left the office and no one decided to continue her work. I called three different times and I was told every time that I would get the check by the end of next week (3 different weeks). Finally, (three months later) I spoke to someone in accounting and was told that my check isn’t ready yet, but it should be within 1-2 days. 30 minutes later, my attorney calls me and tells me that my check is currently on its way to me. I said how? The accounting dept just told me it’s not ready. He then said, well if that’s what they told you, go with that. Just the lack of communication and lack of truth are truly dumbfounding. I have never left a bad review in my life, but this whole time has been SO incredibly infuriating and frustrating and I am severely disappointed in the professionalism at this law office.

I was wrongfully charged with simple assault, a situation that left me devastated. I felt completely overwhelmed by the emotional turmoil caused by my wife and the police. The stress and depression were unbearable. But everything changed when I met the Anthony Law Firm and their exceptional criminal lawyer, Mr. Joseph Alter.
From the moment I engaged with Mr. Alter, I felt a sense of hope and reassurance. On the day of the court hearing, I witnessed firsthand what it means to have a lawyer who defends you with dignity, skill, and unwavering professionalism. Mr. Alter was not just my lawyer; he was a human being with a profound sense of morality and decency. His dedication to my case was evident in every word he spoke and every action he took.
Thanks to Mr. Alter, I felt truly defended and understood. He restored my faith in the justice system and helped me navigate one of the most difficult times of my life with grace and confidence. I will always be grateful for his exceptional representation and the humanity he brought to my defense. I hope anyone else have my chance to work with this great ANTHONY POPE LAW FIRM and MR. JOSEPH ALTER

On the morning of November 17, 2020 during the height of COVID, I reached out to the Anthony Pope Law Firm to schedule an appointment to discuss my accident case. Later that day I was sitting across from Anthony to discuss my case. What was most impressive was his quick response after spending 7-10 days calling numerous law offices and getting nowhere. He settled my case on May 5, 2021. The settlement was far more than I ever expected. From the time I first met Anthony, until my case was settled, he kept me informed during the entire process. Anthony and his staff were very professional.
On June 28, 2023 I reached out to Anthony Pope to represent me in another accident case in which I had a slip and fall down a flight of stairs on April 4, 2023. After my surgery in August of 2023, Anthony settled my case on March 12, 2024. Once again Anthony and his staff always kept me informed during the entire process. I hope that I don't need his services again but if YOU need a lawyer your first call should be to the Anthony Pope Law Firm.

I went to Anthony for help with my husband’s case. I knew by looking at him, he was the man for the job. And he did not disappoint! He showed up to meet my husband one hour after I spoke with him and during Covid no less! He worked with me on his fee because he understood I was in a bad spot. He has walked us through everything and kept us up on all info immediately. Even after everything was all said and done, he still keeps up with us, unlike other lawyers. Anthony is extremely professional and diligent. He dots every I and crosses every T. It was amazing watching him argue in court…he’s a shark!!! He doesn’t back down like so many lawyers. He will fight…and how he loves to fight!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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. -

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.
