There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to Wendy. She went above and beyond handling my case always guiding me and helping me understand what was in my best interest and how to protect myself. Going through a divorce is a difficult and emotional process but with her at my side every step of the way, I made it through AND got ALMOST if not everything I requested in my MSA. If you want to have an honest, hard working, diligent lawyer, then you want to hire her! The alternative is, you can hire a law firm and yes they’ll represent and work for you but you’ll just be their client. Wendy didn’t make me feel like just a client; she truly cared and had compassion about the many complex matters during my divorce. Thank you Wendy for all you do for your clients. Anyone who hires you is already winning 🫶🏼

I knew from the getgo that Sheryl was going to have my back and give me the support I needed throughout my divorce. Sheryl, Christine and Don guided me through 4 plus years of a very difficult divorce. Sheryl was always there to support me and also not afraid to tell me when I was not taking the right position or giving in too easily. She and all of her attorneys are sharp, diligent, strategic, professional and supportive. No-one wants to go through a divorce but having Sheryl and her team on my side made the process more bearable. Even when they were delivering tough news, I always knew I was getting good advice and they were looking out for my best interests. I hope I never have to go through this process again...but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to call Sheryl.

I honestly feel that I could not have been represented better. From the moment I walked into the office I was treated with professionalism and a true sense of caring from everyone in the office. I’m sure my case is not unique. I was not going through a divorce, my girlfriend was, but I needed to quash subpoenas that were filed from her ex-husband‘s attorney.. I can’t believe the speed and thoroughness that had taken place within one day to eliminate the subpoenas against me. I would 100% recommendSeiden family law if you’re ever involved in a marital separation or divorce proceeding. I had gotten divorced 13 years ago with a different attorney is ever in that situation again and we definitely be glad to know Seiden family law is in my corner.!!

I hired Sheryl Seiden to represent me in my divorce case that started in Feb 2022, and that was the best decision I made in the last 1 year. Thanks to her advice and strategies, I got 50% custody of my 2-year old son within 2 months of hiring her. She helped me navigate the most difficult time of my life by listening to me, understanding the issues that matter to me and nudging me in a positive direction. She is detail-oriented and extremely thorough in all her communication. She has not missed replying to a single email sent by me. She has encouraged me to take the high road through out the process, and that has not only benefited my case but also improved my quality of life. Sheryl's excellent strategies combined with her mediation skills have helped resolve multiple disputes in my case. Based on her track record, I value Sheryl's suggestions a lot and consider her as my partner in resolving and settling my divorce case. She is professional, honest, fair, compassionate and has a great work ethic. She also has a good team and it's been an absolute pleasure to interact with every person in her firm. I highly recommend Sheryl Seiden!

I've been working with Genevieve Blazini since April, 2023 for my divorce. From the very beginning, Genevieve was professional, compassionate, and attentive to my needs. Genevieve was incredibly knowledgeable about the divorce process and guided me through each step, ensuring I understood my options and what to expect. She was always prepared and had a clear strategy in place. I appreciated how responsive Genevieve was. Whenever I had questions or concerns, I could reach out and receive prompt, clear answers. Beyond legal expertise, Genevieve offered genuine support. I had ups and downs during this stressful process and Genevieve patiently supported me till the end. She helped me remain focused and confident, which made a significant difference. Overall, I highly recommend Genevieve Blazini for anyone going through a divorce.

Genevieve Blazini is a wonderful individual, She was kind and understanding; while also being effective in dealing with my case. What I like about her was that she didn't sugar coat things, even if I didn't want to hear it. Which is frustrating at the time but ultimately helps you plan for the inevitable. Divorce with children is terrible, especially when you have a difficult ex. She made it real by being honest with me which ultimately made the process a lot smoother. I would recommend her to anybody and would certainly use her again. Although, I really hope not to.

July 1, 2024 To Whom is May Concern, In February of 2023 I was hospitalized as a result of a serious accident that required months of rehabilitation as well as surgery. While hospitalized, I contacted the Starr, Gern, Davidson & Rubin law firm for legal representation. The firm had successfully represented my mother in a legal matter several years earlier. David Wendel was assigned as my personal injury attorney. David asked very pertinent questions involving the accident. He also made very helpful recommendations concerning medical treatment and rehabilitation specialists that would assist in my recovery. I followed his advice and the medical specialists that he recommended helped me make a complete recovery. David also intervened with medical insurance companies whenever coverage issues arose. He is very personable and easy to converse with. He also kept me informed of any important developments in the legal proceedings. I consider myself fortunate to have had David Wendel as my legal advocate. I highly recommend David to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. In addition, the financial award that I received as a result of his efforts far exceeded my expectations. Sincerely M. Lemon Cedar Grove, New Jersey

Highly recommend Rotem he is knowledgable, caring, and gives great advice.

I wouldn’t ask for a better representing lawyer as Benjamin Hoffman. I reached out to them to get my kids rights in the house we live in, after their father took me to court and tried to claim half of the house despite our agreement before the divorce. Benjamin was very attentive, listened to me and all the case details carefully during the initial consultation before I even hired them. He knew exactly my family’s circumstances and thought of every way to protect my children’s rights, always discussing progress and all the document details with me. Making sure I know all my choices and all the possible results. Very punctuate and would accommodate my work schedule to make sure I am able to talk to him. He used every piece of evidence I gave him perfectly and got my kids their rights in their house back. Every person I dealt with in the staff was very respectful and pleasant. Even the billing department. I Highly recommend them.

Margarita provided excellent legal advice while being compassionate and supportive. I never questioned what the status of my case was because Margarita's communication was clear and thorough. She was available when I had an afterhours emergency, or for a scheduled call.  Whether we were in mediation, in front of a judge, or dealing with opposing counsel, Margarita was professional, composed, and showed that she had my best interest in mind. Divorce can be scary, but I am so thankful that I had Margarita by my side from start to finish.  I would highly recommend Margarita and encourage anyone needing a family law attorney to reach out to her.  She genuinely cares about her clients and I am extremely grateful for her guidance and support through such a daunting and emotional process.

They are not only highly knowledgeable & professional, but truly care about your case as if it affected their own personal lives as well, & the level of compassion they show is like no other.

She still continues to be a wonderful support and unbelievably knowledgeable on all aspects of Monmouth County court system, She is also very empathetic person, that has nothing but the best intentions for her clients!!!! She is not the type of lawyer that are just feeling as if , you’re just a number in her computer, you become friends, and become part of the community with other clients, that she has developed over the years

I can't express enough how thankful I am for Constance S. Hill and her incredible support throughout my immigration process. From the moment I had my online consultation with her, I felt a sense of relief knowing I was in the hands of someone who truly cared about my case. Constance took the time to listen to my concerns, explain every detail of the process, and answer all my questions, no matter how small. What really made the difference for me was their constant communication. Whenever I was nervous or unsure, Constance was there to reassure me, always quick to respond and provide thoughtful, clear guidance. I never felt like just another client; I felt like they genuinely had my best interests at heart. Thanks to her hard work, patience, and expertise, my urgent case was resolved quickly and successfully. I’m very grateful for everything she did for me. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who truly cares and knows what they're doing, I wholeheartedly recommend Constance S. Hill. She made a challenging process so much easier, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Michael's appeal saved my medical malpractice case by winning the main claim in my case. Thank you, Michael ! Michael's expertise and commitment made this happen. Michael has been supportive and always available through this process. He is trustworthy, altruistic, and down to earth. I must add Michael's lack of greed and willingness to work with his clients on the financial part of the appeal was another reason it was possible for me to go forward with the appeal. After having a malpractice attorney with 40 years of experience that was able to significantly hurt my case was devastating to me. No one should have to go through that. Michael was able to put the pieces of my case together and convince the Appellate Court that the lower court erred on a decision, which really hurt my case. If I didn't have Michael to do my appeal, I'm not sure where I would be today in terms of my case. I can now proceed with confidence that my case will be settled or won. Michael is the best ! He's in it to win it. I can't say it enough times, I am so grateful and thankful for Michael and his firm. Don't settle for less than the best.

I was at a point in a medical malpractice case where a judgment summary left me deciding, do I go forward with an appeal or not. The original attorney who represented me no longer wanted to remain on my case. I knew my case had merit to it, so I decided to pursue an Appeals Attorney. I called Hegge and Confusione and spoke to Michael Confusione. I immediately had a good feeling about him. He listened to me, he was non-judgmental, and spoke to me in a down to earth manner. My appeal was done by the time promised and I couldn't believe how accurate it was. It tells the story of my case exactly how it happened. I felt Michael understood my case better than my original attorney. His effort in doing my appeal shines through and through. I can't express enough how happy I am that I found Michael to do my appeal for me. I don't believe anyone could have done a better job. Thank you Michael !

Chris was easy to work with in a highly stressful divorce. His depth of knowledge and calm demeanor, being supported by excellent staff, made a tough situation tolerable. He communicated clearly, on a timely basis, and was always available for questions, or as issues arose. I couldnt have asked for a better experience.

Corinne took care of my divorce case. It finalized in April 2019 and the result was excellent. I obtained more financial support from my ex than I expected! Corinne is very nice, patient, and polite to everyone, has the magical skill of do not react right away! To be frankly honest, I was once very upset because of not enough explanations, but more I started to understand the process and her, I was totally blessed to have her as my attorney. I trust her very much and would like to get more help for my new business. I would highly recommend her!

I consulted with John initially, and thought I couldn’t afford him. To my dismay, I retained another lawyer who was decent but didn’t safeguard issues the way John had outlined in our initial consultation. Unfortunately, due to lack of prevention in my initial trial proceedings, another motion was filed against me, and I then retained his services. I spent over $10k from not utilizing his advice and suggestions. I could have spent less than half of that, if I would have retained him the first time. I cannot promise you that he can save the world; but he will advise you appropriately. He will not let you indulge in the abyss of desire that will never come to fruition. He and his associate, Tom, were up front and honest about what to expect and predict. I’m pleased with his practice and services. He’s reasonable and down to earth. If you need answers to simple questions, subscribe to his YouTube Channel or newsletter. I learned the best way to save money, is to go to him prepared with your documents organized. He’ll handle the rest.

For the first time in 30 years they gave me the courage to stand up to my ex. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and highly recommend them.

I found Sameer on google while looking for an immigration lawyer and I was sure that I wanted to work with him after reading his reviews, he helped me initially in getting my green card and helped clarify all my questions about it. I reached out to him again to take help in getting my green card renewed where he guided me about the entire process on getting the condition removed from my marriage based green card. Unfortunately due to my budget I could not work with him (which I really wanted too) but if anyone needs any and is looking for a good immigration lawyer I always recommend.

A Compassionate and Skilled Divorce Lawyer I wholeheartedly recommend Taryn R. Zimmerman for anyone navigating the challenges of divorce. Taryn expertly guided me through a grueling 55-month divorce process. Throughout this difficult time, Taryn was consistently accessible and supportive, offering calming advice that proved spot-on time and again. Her expertise and reassurance helped me stay grounded, even when frustrations ran high. While I didn't entirely agree with the judge's decision, I recognize the inherent difficulties in such rulings. Ultimately, Taryn's dedication and skill ensured the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Thanks to Taryn, I've emerged stronger, happier, and living my best life. Her advocacy and support were instrumental in salvaging my well-being and securing a stable future. Highly Recommended!

I am a Father and my daughter wanted to live with me and attend school closer to my home (I wanted to enroll her into private school) so that would mean I would need to become the primary parent of residence. I thought it would be impossible to get that changed because I also have a career as a firefighter so my work schedule rotates and its 24 hour shifts. I contacted Robyn and she was upfront and honest provided me with possible outcomes. Robyn was outstanding! She had to do the work of two attorneys because the defendants’ attorney would not submit paperwork to the court in a timely manner and that would’ve slowed the process. The case went to trial and having the experienced attorney really showed! I am now the primary parent of residence my daughter and I couldn’t be happier. She always answered my calls, emails and was on time. Both parents were found to be fit by the judge yet a change of custody was still granted in my favor.

Carolina assisted me with an ongoing matter that I had with a neighbor in the apartment complex I lived in. For over 1 year, we had multiple complaints with these neighbors to the building management that included several calls to the local police department. Unfortunately, our building management didn't do anything to rectify the situation. Our complaints really fell on deaf ears. All that changed when I reached out and hired Carolina to handle the matter. Carolina got immediate results after we hired her. She was able to not only get building management's attention but was instrumental in helping us reach a release agreement to break our lease earlier. I really appreciate how Carolina handled this matter. My only regret was not hiring her earlier. I give her an A+ for service and an A+ for getting results.

I called her office and Im surprised that she picks up her own calls NO Secretaries! She kept me posted at all times delivers result and I mean even weekends and very late night she's up working on your case. She is not a greedy lawyer, although SHE DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO BE... I tell her accurate info and soon as she asked me to read and review her documentations and letters I do it, and she reciprocate and goes above and beyond her clients cooperation.... THAT'S THE KIND OF LAWYER SHE IS, she does not say a lot at first, she listens to you and lets her client weigh in their options, she wont instigate fight between her client and the other parties just to earn a living... but she surely wont let her client end up as loser.... My ex's lawyer was very greedy and very ghetto... NOT JULIE... she's very calm, classy and as a matter of fact when we were in the court, random people approached her and told her " YOU ARE VERY SHARP AND CLASSY UNLIKE OTHER LAWYERS, THEYRE ALL MOUTH AND YET THEIR BRAINS ARE EMPTY", and when our case has received judgement she even had to help the other lawyer figure out what to do next. She comes in prepared and organize and on time, if not half an hour early. Ive not seen any lawyer ever before like her and my Dad was a lawyer he was very kind and very smart, but JULIE?... I MEAN SHE IS SET APART, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER LAWYER LIKE HER, at least not my lifetime.

We hired Mrs. Julie Warshaw's for Guardianship and Special Education Law services. Throughout she was kind, understanding, patient and very diligent. Guardianship was completed very efficiently within a few weeks. Even for the special education services her approach was different than others. While discussing the matter she would even use the nicer words for the other party too. Saying let us understand their point of view and resolve the matter. Unlike some others professionals who will bash the other party during the first appointment but will be less responsive once the contract for services is signed. But we saw her same level of commitment as the case went on. As others also mentioned she is really an attorney with a heart! She is extremely knowledgeable about all the topics too. We cannot thank Julie enough for everything that she has done for us. We highly recommend her.

Look, no one wants to find a lawyer. It is not awesome, and doing it, well, is daunting for those of us who aren't really accustomed to "legal" stuff. That said, I found myself in that spot. I connected with Greg Kirschenbaum, and he really changed my mind about lawyers (on most things). He was personable, as he took the time to listen and understand the annoying details of the situation and the nuances and things that I cared about. He represented my interests well and kept me informed and comfortable with the process and events. I don't have anything bad to say about my time as a client with Greg; it was quite the opposite. If, and I doubt it, but if I find myself in that situation again, or something akin, I would call Greg before anyone I know or could look up.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
  • List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
  • Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
  • Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
