Mr. Levow's expert representation and skill were so good that even the Judge on the case remarked that had I had a different attorney the outcome would have been considerably different. I highly recommend Evan Levow.

Mr. Ackerman was referred to us in a recent residential closing in NJ. We dealt with Shay, Alan's paralegal, for the most part and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Even to the point where, we heard through a third party (after the fact), that she had an important personal matter, she still handled our situation after work hours when she truly did not have to, professionally with resolution. Shay was absolutely amazing, and I recommend Mr. Ackerman's legal assistance because, as a team with Shay, they brought us to a successful conclusion in our closing and we had a flawless experience. I truly could not give Shay more praise for her professionalism and knowledge.

Mr. Garibian is a passionate attorney that will listen to you and fight for your desired outcome. One of Chris’s outstanding qualities is his ability to relate to his clients. Chris kept me calm, cool and collected during the entire process. Our conversations were refreshing and my mind was at ease. The paralegals are fabulous and on top of their game. I will be forever grateful for Chris and his staff.

A truly great attorney to have on your side. Chris made sure I understood everything, every step of the way. He always explained all my options and possible outcomes, in order to help me make the best decisions for me and my specific case. He always got back to me quickly when I reached out to him with questions. A very smart attorney, who really saved me from the mess my horrible previous attorney had gotten me into. I would recommend no one else ever over Chris. He is simply, the best.

From the very first consultation through to the final court appearance Sara was honest, receptive and very knowledgeable with the legal system. Sara was on top of everything from requesting discovery to communicating with me. The case ended up being dismissed with prejudice due to the prosecution being unable to provide requested discovery even after the judge gave them another 30 days (sounds like there was no evidence). Her fees were reasonable and service exceptional!! Great staff as well!!

Sara Senser McArtle is a great lawyer. She recently did my divorce and quickly noticed potential problems with what the outside mediator had written up. She is honest, reasonable and an excellent negotiator.

Sara was recommended to me so I contacted her, did a free consult and hired her on the spot. She resolved the issues with my domestic violence case return phone calls promptly and went out of her way to be accommodating. If I ever needed leagal assistance again I would not hesitate to use her firm. She advised me in the best way possible and the end result saved me time, money and stress. No bs this woman is on point.

I hired Samantha to help me with a consent Order, I explained to her there was a timeline to meet and she worked diligently to complete my matter. Samantha and her team were quick to answer calls and emails. Trish in billing is also a valued asset to the firm. I would definitely recommend Samantha and this Law Firm.

Not being savvy in NJ alimony laws, I found Samantha extremely helpful. I felt very confident in her knowledge and advice. In my situation, requests to enter into an agreement incorrect under NJ law were presented to me. She guided me on how to proceed and offered me the legally correct information to communicate both knowledgeably and skillfully with my former spouse. Had I not seeked assistance from Samantha and the firm, I would have likely agreed to an unfair solution. I am extremely grateful to Samantha. I always felt I was in very good, honest and caring hands at a difficult time.

Samantha did her best to resolve a case involving dealing with very difficult people on the defendant’s side, who were doing everything possible to stall the case by any means necessary. While attorneys on both sides are supposed to work to resolve the problem, this wasn’t the case. Samantha has to do all the work by herself while dealing with terrible people on the defender’s side. She is highly astute, hardworking lawyer at the rise of her carrier and eventually will be running the company she works for now or her own firm.
I only regret that the firm she was working for(even though they warned me that annulment would be much harder to achieve than regular divorce) did not push harder to explain to me that it will cost me x3 - x6 times more if I pursued that option, which I did, and lost a lot of money, just to get a regular divorce at the end anyway because the costs kept rising and I said “enough” when I paid over $30,000 and the case was far from resolved... If I knew that from the very beginning, I would never pursue the annulment scenario and would’ve saved a ton of money by doing simple divorce. But it was in no way Samantha’s fault as “the client is always right” and I did say that I wanted annulment from the very beginning... Again, my only regret is that I wish the firm would try much harder to dissuade me from taking this very expensive route in my case, but since it meant much more money to the firm, I can understand why they did not push hard enough to tell me about much greater costs.
Again, it has nothing to do with the high quality work Samantha did during the case, as she is an excellent lawyer. And if her superiors at the firm, told her not to push hard against me changing to a simpler divorce case instead of annulment, she had to follow the company’s orders. And I give her overall work an excellent rating, as she was kind, professional, supportive, cared about the best outcome of the case for me and accomplished that very best outcome. A+ for Samantha.

Besides the fact that Alan won my case, what I liked most is that he managed my expectations throughout the process, he is so very knowledgeable about the law, went above and beyond researching whatever it is he needed to research, and held my hand, so to speak, the entire way. Alan is such a nice man, very kind, very smart and funny. He can also be tough and forceful. He had a nice rapport with the judge and I would highly recommend him!

My experience with Arthur was a fantastic one. He was not only a great legal representative, he was a support, and a compassionate ally in my custody battle.
We came out victorious, but even if we had lost, with Arthur at my side I honestly felt like we could still be proud, because we had both tried our hardest.
He gave sound advice, good counsel, and I would turn to him again in a heartbeat if I needed a lawyer again.

Once i explained my story Dianna told me most possible scenario of my divorce results. The most respected part was that she actually was telling me that divorce is not a good thing to do, however unfortunally there was no other option for me .
Dianna's prediction was 97% accurate where finalizing divorce was within 97% of her prediction .
Very experienced and honest attorney

Dianna handled my divorce with ease. She moved quick, had every small detail under control and made me feel comforted every step of the way. Her get-it-done attitude made what could have been a long, drawn out, painful process quick and easy. Hearing stories about others i know who are going through a divorce, it is clear to me that i hired the best there is. I never doubted her knowledge or expertise.

I'm so glad I retained Richard to represent me during my divorce, which was just finalized. It could have been very long and contentious, but Richard did an amazing job of working with my ex's attorney to negotiate a fair agreement. He did everything he could to keep the legal costs down for me and kept meetings and correspondence brief, yet was always responsive. He has so much experience and knowledge working with divorce cases I felt very secure with his advice. In the end it came down to the wire and he jumped through hoops to get everything wrapped up for me quickly, and I am very pleased with the final outcome. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone going through this painful process.

This past Fall I found myself in a domestic violence situation that could not be ignored. I interviewed several lawyers always bringing a family member with me. I was searching for a gut feeling and that happened when I met Sal & I hired him. Throughout this daunting, nerve wracking experience, Sal put my mind at ease& just knew when I needed a kind word to get me thru. Sal takes no B. S. from the adversary & was smart in his responses. Sal was thorough, listened & addressed any concerns I had & always kept me in the loop.He had my full trust and was more than fair with the time he gave me and how I was billed. I felt then and still do, that not only was he my lawyer but a family friend. I 100 percent recommend Sal Simeone!

* If you looking for an attorney to tell you what you want to hear & when you want to hear it, I suggest you move on to the next review since Sal Simeone’s not that type of a lawyer.
Although, if your searching for a truly Great ethical lawyer, with a solid reputation who’s respected in the courts while getting the job done for you and your children, Sal Simeone is your man!!
With close to 30 years experience Sal has dealt with all aspect of family law and I’m extremely thankful for him & his team.
I was recommended to Sal in 2016 from a reputable Morris county lawyer who knew my divorce would be high conflict. I was told Sal Simone would be the best for what was ahead in my case. I’m grateful that I took that advise because after 4 false TRO’s, several motions and a trial for a final TRO that was dismissed.
Sal and his team were always on their “A” game all the time no matter what was taking place. No matter how my emotions escalated based on so many false allegations and my concerns for the children. Sal and Matt always kept me focused, had a plan in place along with making me realize that the truth would come out in the end, which it eventually did.
With all the false TRO’s, many crazy allegations and much more, Sal was by my side for it all, while still being the best advocate for the children.
Through everything my children have been living with me full-time since 11/2017 and still are today.
So if you’re looking for someone who will put your best interest first along with someone you can call SEVEN DAYS a week from 8am-11pm for those crazy weekends, Sal is your lawyer period!
It’s great to know when things get a little nutty which they will, your always able to speak with Sal for that quick advice so you not in the wrong.
Based on everything that my children and I went through, I considered that accessibility to Sal at all times to be priceless for sure.
When you deal directly with Sal there’s no leaving messages in the morning while hoping he gets back to you before 5pm. Sal gets back to you quick no matter what day or time period. Besides all the great points I’ve already made just realize that Sal truly shines even much more in the courtroom.
No matter if it’s a simple motion or days of a trial, Sal is always prepared to do whatever it takes for the children and his client best interest.
I’ve known Sal Simeone since 2016 and we still talk today as he’s always checking on the kids to see how things are going.
I consider Sal a very good friend and great divorce attorney. I have and always will continue to recommend Sal and his team to anyone I hear of going down that rough road of divorce.
Best of luck and just know you’ll come out the other side.
Louis Curcione III- Madison, NJ
Primary Parent of 2 teenagers since 11/2017!
Good Luck

I was referred to Sal Simeone thru a friend with a post divorce issue also. My case was about terminating alimony due to ex claiming he was disabled. He was still working, never applied for disability. This was a frustrating time. Sal continually spoke to me calmly with reassuring words. He kept me focused and on point to the matter on hand. Sal saw thru the Smoke Screen the ex & his attorney were trying to pull. When I would get caught up in the drama & get so tired of it, he would have another strategy to offer. I always hung up the phone feeling he had my back and filled with confidence. The post divorce issues can be just as emotional as the divorce, you need Sal, he is fair, level thinker and supports your interests at all times. He was always available to answer my concerns, and kept me informed on everything. I was not disappointed with Sal and neither will you be. Call him for your consult and after you will feel like a weight has been lifted, Sal will fight for you.

There are so many decisions to be made when legal representation becomes inevitable. Thankfully I chose the best team to represent my name. Laura Mendonca and Cyndi Reeves became my dream team. At a time when you are lost and need a guiding hand, the counsel of Weinberger (Laura Mendonca) proved to be a sound choice. Working with me every step of the way, we mapped out strategy and contingencies for the multitude of challenges which accompany most legal matters. All my thanks and praise to these fine professionals. Thank you Laura and Cyndi for all your hand holding, care and 100% satisfaction!

They put me in collections from something I did 12 years ago I have no idea what’s it’s for.. It happened in my 20s when I was married..They put not only my bank account on hold but they also put my teenage daughters on hold.. you can’t get in-touch with anyone all the phone does is ring and ring… The fact they took my daughters money is absolutely disgusting. The fact they are coming after me years later with no warning but one letter and I tried to call and resolve it no answer.. As a lawyers office I didn’t think you allow to touch a child money since this is not her responsibility..

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.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- 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.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
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.
