Another big solid recommendation for Gary who we hired based on the multiple recommendations here. He was a solid partner through our home buying process. We had a difficult time with the realtor but Gary supported us through the journey. He's extremely level headed, very calm and shares his unbiased and well reasoned opinion for any complexity. He was prompt in his communications, including when he had to go for a vacation. He worked over a weekend to make sure the attorney review process completes. I can't recommend Gary enough.

Gary helped us win our property tax appeal. He performed comparative market analysis and recommended doing an appraisal to argue for a lower assessment. He clearly communicated important milestones throughout the process. I highly recommend Gary Maher for property tax appeals.

David's kindness and understanding made me feel very comfortable to discuss my issues and needs very openly with him, and in return, he provided his legal knowledge and action to help sort out my dilemma. With his service, my case was resolved with ease, and sooner than I anticipated. Unlike other attorneys, he always remembered to follow up, give me updates, and answer any of my concerns within a reasonable time, if not immediately.

Words cannot express our gratitude to David and Marks Team for all their help in getting our son out of a tough situation. David worked tirelessly to get the best deal for our family throughout this ordeal. He explained all options and answered all our questions even on weekends. He made a first potential offer from the Prosecutors Office of 50 month State sentence to a plea with no time. Professionalism and Communication would be his best attributes.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Ehsan on my DUI case, and I am beyond grateful for his support and expertise. From the moment we began working together, Ehsan demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and was incredibly focused on achieving the best possible outcome for me.
One of the most impressive aspects of Ehsan’s service was his ability to negotiate my DUI charge down to reckless driving. This was a huge relief and made a significant difference in the long-term impact on my life. His skillful approach and strategic thinking not only highlighted his experience but also gave me confidence during a very stressful time.
Ehsan’s communication skills were outstanding. He was always punctual, responding to my inquiries promptly and keeping me updated on every development in my case. This level of attentiveness made me feel valued as a client and reassured me that I was in good hands.
In addition to his legal expertise, Ehsan’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made it easy to discuss my concerns openly. He took the time to explain the complexities of the legal process in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt informed and empowered.
Overall, I highly recommend Ehsan to anyone in need of legal representation. His commitment to his clients, combined with his impressive skills, truly sets him apart. Thank you, Ehsan, for your hard work and dedication!

I started working with Mr. Grasso back in 2018. I was looking at my second DUI, which meant a year loss of license and a loss of my job. Michael Grasso was more than a hired attorney, rather a friend and advocate for me and my future. He took my case from the Municipal court level, through the Superior, Appellate and eventually the top court in the land- The Supreme Court. And we won! This was done for 2 separate DWI convictions in 2 separate courts, something unheard of. In those 6 years, Mike gave me reassurance, confidence, and guidance- not something I was even expecting. I learned a lot from the man who gave me a clean slate in life. Thanks to him I'll be able to travel with my girlfriend and her family to Canada now that my record is completely clean. I've regained my freedom thanks to his savvy and determination. The best decision I made was trusting Mike to look out for my best interest. I can't thank him enough and am proud to call myself his friend.

Ray Raya represented me in early Spring of 2024. I was absolutely petrified, and sick to my stomach for months looking for a reputable lawyer. I received his contact information by word of mouth from a dear friend of mine. The day of court, I came in early but, he came in earlier. He shook my trembling hand, said it’s ok. I got it to a $100 dollar fine plus court costs. With my face bright red from fear and the lump in the back of my throat… I cleared my throat and managed to stumble out the words… am I going to lose my license?!! Tears welled up in my eyes, He said no you’re ok!! His smooth confidence just took so much anxiety away. I was petrified I’d lose my license and of course, the booming thoughts I obsessed about… how am I going to get to work?Am I going to lose my job and my home, if I can’t get to work?!!! My life is over!!! But just like that, he made a fantastic deal and I was so grateful. I sobbed in the car in the courthouse parking lot after my case was heard for 15 minutes trying to compose myself. I am just so absolutely grateful and happy with his services!! I hope I never am in a predicament to see him again, however, I know who to contact if I'm in a jam again. So grateful!!

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.

WOW! I got myself in some serious trouble. I had 1st and 2nd degree charges. Thankfully my parents found fantastic lawyers at the firm of Robert's and Teeters. It was a long 5 years dealing with this case. I immediately said to them I want to take this case to trial and they gave me the full confidence from the beginning. Due to the pandemic the case was prolonged for so long but I'm 100% satisfied with this firm. Matt and Mike are the perfect team. They work together so smooth and it's actually entertaining watching them consult eachother about certain situations. Mike is very knowledgeable and Matt is simply a great talker in court. They don't leave any stones unturned. They never give up any battle and at the same time are prepared for any outcome. They aren't the type to lie to you. They tell you upfront the risks of any decisions beforehand. They even worked with us for the payments. All around great lawyers and I see them doing great things for others. I ended up finally winning the trial and got all charges acquitted. I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of professional and honest lawyers. I'm truly blown away by Matt's performance in the court room. I'm so happy with everything and he is truly an angel sent from heaven. He puts his heart in to his work and faught for me as if we were family. I'll never forget this!...Don't hesitate to use these guys. Their names will go big very soon!

Great to work with! I had a case in Middlesex County. There was a specific outcome I hoped for. Matthew Teeter laid out how the case would go, gave me the best and worst case scenario, he set me up with realistic goals and expectations, and he even gave me advice on what to do after the case to help with the outcome. When attending court, I was kept in the loop when I needed to be, and given proper instructions and guidance for each step of the way. In doing so, he earned me the exact positive result that I had hoped for. If I find a need for an attorney in the future, I will plan on reach out for his services again.

James was a consummate professional in all of my dealings with him. From our first conversation to the successful completion of my case, he was warm, understanding, knowledgeable, thorough, disciplined, and non-judgmental. As someone who has dealt with many attorneys, I highly recommend James for your matter.

When I found James, one of the first things he mentioned to me on the phone was that it was his job to worry about my case now, and I should do my best to put it out of my mind. That comment alone turned my entire state of mind around lifting the stress and anxiety that had been weighing on me. James was excellent at communicating, explaining, and in getting me the best results possible. I would absolutely recommend his services if you are in need.

I hired James a year ago to represent me in a matter against an individual who was using the criminal justice system to stalk and harass me. My case was a difficult, complicated and emotional case, dealing with an individual who was not emotionally stable. From the beginning, James was the right lawyer for the job. He didn't over-promise, but he handled my case with sensitivity, while, at the same time, was amazingly strategic in how to plan my case. James prepared diligently for my case and got me the exact result that I needed, But, what was most important to me, was not only that he got me the result that I needed, but how he treated me throughout the year. James ALWAYS took or returned my phone calls immediately. James always answered my emails. James ALWAYS made me feel like my case mattered to him, and like I mattered to him as a client and a person. I always knew he had my back and that he truly was putting 1000% into fighting my case. I would unequivocally recommend James to ANYONE who needs an excellent criminal defense attorney who will go the extra mile, who will fight like hell for you, and will never make you feel like you're in it by yourself. He is truly the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey.

Keith handled my case to a very successful outcome. When I initially reached out to him, I was very anxious. He was a great listener and immediately put my mind at ease.

Keith Oliver is an excellent lawyer who cares for his clients. As soon as I placed a request online for some questions about my case, he immediately texted me back while I was at work during my nightshift and we had a conversation on what to expect going forward. Right there I knew that he was the right lawyer for the job. He could of just waited until the next day or two to call me back, yet because of his responsiveness to my situation, I hired him. He stuck by my side through the long drawn out process which was out of our control. Whether your situation is big or small, Keith will fight tooth and nail for you. His straight to the point attitude and aggressive nature will ease your mind knowing that you hired the right lawyer for your particular situation. Give him a chance and call him, you won't be disappointed. Keith is a great lawyer. He's my super lawyer! Google him and you will see his background of accomplishments and achievements. Hopefully I won't get into a situation like this again, but if I do you are number one on my contact list. Thanks for being by my side for two and a half years. Until next time my freind and best wishes for success at your firm.

To make a VERY long story short, I hired a well known
Ocean Country defense law firm who's modo was that the whole firm was behind me. Again they were supposedly the best in Ocean County. They're website looked like they could represent OJ Simpson, it was so professional even a bit intimidating, at the time I new I needed the best so I hired them. The attorney who was assigned to me, wanted me to plead guilty to a petty shoplifting charge on the very first appearance and this was also my first criminal offense. That law firm charged me a large fee so there was no way I was simply pleading guilty, otherwise what did I even hire them for? I fired that lawyer on spot in front of the judge, and the court granted me another month to find a new lawyer. Thankfully I found Steve who helped me get this charge dropped to a non-criminal ordinance which was what I needed to continue as a nursing student. When I initially called Steve I was in panic, he told me to relax and we would figure this out and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation. I will be calling Steve again soon to help me with a record expungement. PS. Steves fee is fair and he will help you with arrangements if needed.

I had a very complicated case. A 1st degree felony with intent to deliver. My future looked bleak. I had almost given up as I had thought this was an impossible case and I would never receive an expungement. The courts, lawyers, judges, all told me no. Not Mr. Marain, he was up for the challenge. He was always available, understanding, empathetic, intelligent, and he knows law better than anyone else I had ever encountered. He's very by the book and thorough if you have a case that you believe is eligible for expungement no matter how complicated it is you need to give Allan Marain a call. He will fight for you when no one else will. It wasn't easy, lots of bumps in the road, but we did it. He changed the trajectory of my life and I am forever grateful!

Mr Porfido and his staff were very knowledgeable and professional during my TRO case. He provided superior guidance, never sugar coating the situation. Mr. Porfido explained the laws to me and outlined all the potential pitfalls ensuring that I was properly prepared for whatever the outcome was. I would highly recommend Mr Porfido. He is highly competent attorney and is definitely my attorney of choice for all legal matters moving forward. Mr Porfido and his staff made me feel like my family was representing me in my case. Mr Porfido stood side by side with me carefully explaining the process as my trial progressed. He always provided consistent information of my situation. He always explained the worst case scenario but was always optimistic that he could work out the best case scenario. He is a no nonsense attorney and practices law with the utmost credibility and respect. Mr Porfido always followed up and answered my emails and calls no matter the time. He also showed great compassion and concerned for me and my children through the whole case and even after.

Mr. Porfido cane highly recommended to me by another attorney when I found myself in need of representation in Federal court. I was told that James was very knowledgeable on the compexities of navigating the US District Court process, and I quickly learned that this referral was solid advice. Not only was I impressed by his legal skill and knowledge, it was also apparent to me through this process that he was recognized and highly respected by his peers, and so many others in the legal community. I was already pleased with his service, when my confidence was reaffirmed by the Judge commenting at my last hearing that even he was impressed at how hard James fought for me behind closed doors in conference. His office was also excellent, highly professional and extremely helpful in communications. While I hope I never find myself in need of his services again ;) - I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Porfido & his office to someone who does!

I received a Reckless Driving 5-point ticket in a Camden County town. Officer didn't like the way I changed lanes. We pleaded down to Unsafe Driving (Which is a larger fine but no points and no recurring insurance charges). Admittedly it had been 19 years since my last traffic violation, which I'm sure helped the judges decision... but stepping down from 5 points to no points is a huge win regardless of the circumstances (in my mind). Never had to go to a trial with officer. Simply negotiated with prosecutor at initial hearing, and judge agreed.

Mr. Traub was successful in obtaining a dismissal for my careless driving ticket. He graciously provided extensive advice (on several occasions) even prior to his retention, and it is my belief that he sincerely cared about the outcome of my case. He is very professional, knowledgeable, accessible and has a wonderful personality. It was truly a pleasure to have him represent me, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a positive result.

Desperate for assistance, entangled in the BOP's web of bureaucracy, and a family member with health issues, we needed an attorney with experience, knowledge, results driven, and of exceptional talents, fortunately, we were recommended to Richard Sparaco. Richard and his colleagues negotiated the muddy waters of the Compassionate Release Act and First Step Act to provide us with a compelling legal drive through the BOP Administrative roadblocks and onto a precedent setting path for Compassionate Release for our family member in the dire straights of the COVID-19 crisis while incarcerated and in ill health.
Richard proved himself to be a man of his reputation, which we later found, was profound, and eventually succeeded where lesser Counsel would have faltered.
For anyone that is looking for an experienced, intellectual, and forthright attorney with legal acumen and the tenacity to carry that seemingly insurmountable case forward, Richard would be the attorney to seek out.
This is an attorney who cares, communicates, is upfront about the situation your facing, the risks, and who is not afraid to take the cases other attorneys lack the courage to push forward.
We're grateful to have Richard and his team in our corner, they made a difference. We thank them dearly.

Richard is an attorney with a rare combination: he consistently exhibits great skill and knowledge with a friendly, direct approach that is refreshing. He is always personable and is a man of high integrity. Richard was very informative in walking through the process and what to expect. He's also very quick to respond to any questions or concerns along the way. Richard has become an invaluable part of my professional network. I depend on his legal advice to help me avoid any legal issues. Richard is an outstanding litigator who will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of a just outcome. My highest recommendation!

Mr. Gatlin is a superb lawyer who exude a lot of strength and character. He was upfront and matter of fact in my mom court case. He was able to get a very serious traffic violations dismissed. He gave my mother battling with early onset of dementia something we take so much for granted. Although she barely drives, she will still be able to make her Sunday trips to Harlem for church. And that means everything for her. Again thank you so much!

Barry handled my civil case in Family court ultimately with a win. This is the first time, hopefully the only time, I've ever been involved in a legal matter against me so personally this was an emotional and scary time for me. The legal proceedings frustratingly took over a year. Barry kept me well informed throughout the matter. I put a lot of trust in Barry since I have no legal knowledge. He was well prepared at each court appearance and referred me to the needed expert witnesses for my case. I am very happy with how Barry handled my case and would highly recommend him.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?
A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
- Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
- Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
- Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
- Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
- Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.
How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?
Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
- Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.
Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.
How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:
- Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
- Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.
Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.
Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer
Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will you personally handle my child’s case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court. -
What rights does my child have?
Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.
How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled 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 in juvenile cases.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
- School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
- CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
