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.

Alan is a master of the art of law, is extremely thorough and meticulous to every detail. He speaks softly but carries a big stick. It is obvious that he is given a great deal of respect in the court room. I knew I was in the best of hands from the get go. For such matters, you need the very best. Alan earned my complete trust. There are a great deal of firms out there with many partners, and associates. Alan is a solo guy, so you know your case is getting his personal attention. As an example, he was always accessible by phone or text. I am grateful for everything he did for me.

Mark represented me in 2010 on a criminal case involving charges that included aggravated assault and possession of an unlawful weapon. He was extremely honest, open and real. My mother and I consulted with a few attorneys, but instantly retained Mark based off of our gut feeling upon our first meeting with him. He was extremely reasonably-priced and when the very emotional week of trial time came, I don't think that he slept either. He impressed my family and I so much that even on the final sleepless night that the jury was out on deliberation, my mother, mommom, and I all agreed no matter the outcome the next morning, we couldn't have asked for more. Mark blew our minds away with his intelligence and experience and far exceeded our expectations. Even the court interpreter was in tears when I was found NOT GUILTY on ALL charges. I put my life and future in Mark's hands, and I would do so again in a heartbeat.

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.

When a family member received a careless driving ticket under questionable circumstances, we called upon James H. Maynard to see what he could do. Mr. Maynard responded quickly and efficiently following the necessary procedures to comply with court requirements and prepare a strong defense.
Throughout the process all of our questions and concerns were answered fully and promptly by either Mr. Maynard or his professional staff. On the day of the court appearance we were put at ease by Mr. Maynard's confidence and experience. The resulting outcome was far better than we could have
hoped for taking us from worry to relief and a sense of gratitude for the fair resolution to our problem. We highly recommend James H. Maynard for your legal needs!

This team are incredible. I had MAJOR fear and anxiety regarding my case which held severe consequences without representation. They walked me through it throughout its duration basically holding my hand. They took my calls, answered my myriad questions. Responded almost immediately EVERY time I had question or concern. Alexis Fox my point of contact and liaison to My attorney was warm, empathetic and truly concerned with my well being during a difficult time. William (Bill) Wachowski, my attorney offered unparalleled service, reassurance, legal advice and representation. He did everything he said he would do. My two felony charges were disposed as municipal disorderly offenses.
Mind you, I have and never had a criminal record but bc of him and his team my name and unblemished record remain intact. I can't say enough for the care, humanity and attention they gave me. I could have been in jail for 10-20 years. Today, I'm on my way home with a small fine and my sanity.
The team at Jonathan Marshall law firm couldn't come with a higher recommendation. Special thank you to ALEXIS FOX AND WILLIAM WACHOWSKI.
Thank you. I'm truly indebted.

Mattew Dory, Esq was an excellent lawyer, he represented me in my first case for a speeding ticket on my probationary license. My outcome was much better than expected. Therefore, when I received a second offense I returned to this good firm for representation.
Michael Quinn, Esq represented me on my second offense and guided me through upgrading to my regular license without losing my motorcycle endorsement. He was honest and very helpful throughout the process.
Both attorneys advised me to take a driver's safety course to reduce points on my license. I have since learned to slow down as a third offense would not make me so lucky.
Thank you for your representation.

I chose Robert Depersia,II after reading his many great reviews.
I now have to add another. He made it clear when I called that beating the charge altogether was not possible and explained best and worst case scenarios. We went to court today and I feel he did better than the best case scenario discussed. I could not be happier with the job he did and highly recommend Robert Depersia,II should you need a excellent attorney in South Jersey.

I had the privilege of being represented by Paul D. Colangelo, who has an impressive thirty years of experience, for my Temporary Restraining Order case, and I am incredibly grateful for his exceptional service.

From the very beginning, Paul was professional, attentive, and dedicated to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details and provided clear, concise guidance throughout the process. His strategic approach and compelling arguments in court were key factors in winning my case.
Not only was Paul highly effective, but he also showed genuine care and concern for my well-being. His support and confidence gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. Working in coordination with me demonstrated that he is truly a team player.
With three decades of experience, Paul brings unparalleled insight and proficiency to his practice. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney. His expertise, dedication, and powerful representation make him an outstanding choice for any legal matter.

Throughout the almost year my case went on, he stayed up to date about each detail my case entailed. He was honest. Told me “this is how it is” and what to expect. He was also always available to speak, and if he wasn’t immediately , he always made sure to get back to me the very next day. Definitely will recommend to anyone I know in the future.
