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 cannot recommend the Law Office of Husain Gatlin highly enough. Mr. Gatlin represented me in a criminal case with professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication. From the very first consultation, he took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I was informed and comfortable throughout the entire legal process.
His deep knowledge of the law and attention to detail were evident at every step, and his strategic approach to my case ultimately led to a successful outcome. Beyond his legal skills, Mr. Gatlin’s compassionate and approachable demeanor gave me peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time.
If you’re looking for a skilled and trustworthy attorney who will truly fight for you, Husain Gatlin is the one to call. I am forever grateful for his hard work and commitment.

This was my first time in court. I was going against 7 tickets looking at 9 points on my license & my drivers license being suspended. I found Maduabum Law Firm on google & instantly called them. The process was super easy & fast. They let me know possible outcomes & also had great pricing! Christel Lugo was my attorney & she got most of my tickets dismissed leaving me with no points, keeping my license!! Thank You so much guys. If you’re reading this call them, they’re great!!

It was our first time being sued. It was definitely a nerve racking thought. However after our very first consultation with Mr Maduabum we felt at ease. He was super knowledgeable, experienced and very personable that helped us to be really comfortable. He was able to get us 2 dismissals after the plaintiff came for us twice. They never stood a chance with Mr Maduabum representing us. The best thing about Peter was he really does care about his clients and his work. Even in instances where we weren't forthcoming with his request for evidence he was patient and consistently reminded us (this was post being paid in full). Peter Maduabum is the most impressive attorney I've met, super professional and relentless until the job is done. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Dear Law Offices ,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Richard S. Chadwick for his invaluable assistance in resolving my recent traffic violation with minimal consequences. I am pleased to inform you that I have paid the imposed fine, as shown inthe attached receipt.
Mr. Chadwick’s efforts and expertise in ensuring that no points were added to my driving record were crucial for me, as maintaining a clean license is essential in my profession. His dedication and care were evident when he went the extra mile to call me and include me in the court hearing via Zoom, as I had trouble using my microphone. This generous and thoughtful act truly stood out to me.
This was my first personal experience with your office, and I am proud to say that I made the right choice. In fact, I referred a colleague to your office last year, and their traffic issue was resolved successfully in February. Other coworkers have also relied on your services before, and your results have always been exceptional and trustworthy. I will undoubtedly do my best to recommend your services to even more of my friends.
Additionally, I want to extend my deepest thanks to your amazing secretary. She was incredibly patient and supportive during my call on the morning of my court date. Despite my repeated requests regarding the Zoom link due to my nerves about missing the hearing she calmly resent the email with the link and explained that it was already on the fourth page of the document. Please accept my apologies for my persistence and my gratitude for her professionalism and kindness during such a stressful time.
Once again, I offer my sincere thanks to Mr. Chadwick and your exceptional team for your support and professionalism. I truly hope we meet again under different circumstances (just a lighthearted joke!). Wishing you all continued success and fulfillment in helping others.

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.

**Title: Misrepresentation, Conspiracy, and Abuse of Power**
Isaac Wright Jr., while acting as my standby counsel, not only failed in his professional duty but actively conspired with the judge and prosecutor to prosecute me. He withheld critical discovery that could have helped my defense and filed a deceptive motion for a mental evaluation without my consent, attempting to have me deemed incompetent so he could take over as lead counsel. His scheme failed when the mental evaluator determined I was not only competent but intelligent enough to continue representing myself. Despite Wright’s efforts to undermine my case, I eventually fired him and went on to win the case *Pro Se*. His unethical conduct, blatant disregard for my rights, and conspiracy with the prosecution make him untrustworthy. I strongly advise against hiring him for any legal representation.

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.

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:

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. -

While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -

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.

- 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.
