This team deserves way more than 5 stars.
I hardly know where to begin to express my immense gratitude for everyone at the offices of Tomasella and Vacca. Im not sure how to adequately convey my appreciation for this team. This firm genuinely cares about me and my three children.
I have been navigating a very difficult and highly contested divorce that dragged on unnecessarily for over two years. Throughout this period, I faced numerous false allegations, multiple restraining orders, and countless trials and hearings. Victoria was there for it all and knew exactly how to handle my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation, its amazing to see someone work so well in their element.
Thanks to Victoria Tomasella and her team, I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted from the divorce. Victoria Tomasella knew the nuances of my case even better than I did, making me feel as though I was her only client. She was highly professional and extremely prompt in returning all my calls and emails.
Victoria Tomasella exceeded my expectations, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. This amazing team has allowed me to move forward with my life, maintain access to my children, and ultimately achieve the outcome I was hoping for with my divorce.
I would highly recommend this firm.

Victoria Tomasella delivered on what she told me from day one, that i would get 50/50 custody of my daughters. No matter what the other side threw our way, Victoria was quick to advise me on how to respond. When it was obvious the other side was delaying the process, Victoria knew exactly how to handle them and how to make them settle and put a close to this case. I would recommend Victoria to anyone in need of her services.

Jon Green is a consummate high integrity legal professional who not only knows New Jersey employment law but knows how it works and how to work it. He is relentless and tenacious in his pursuit of justice for his client. He’s fearless and will consistently fight to get a fair settlement for you. He doesn’t back down. He’s a client-oriented attorney who listens carefully to his client so that he fully understands the case details and what your objectives are. If he doesn’t know or understand something you’ve said, he’ll ask you to explain further. He doesn’t assume anything. He’s very detail oriented. Jon will be fully engaged in your case and is best described as “all in” once the wheels of justice begin to turn. Jon also will tell you what you need to know not what you want to hear. He’ll give you the good news and the bad news. As the case twists and turns, Jon takes the time to explain it to you so you understand it and what ramifications it has for your case. Jon works with the client collaborating on strategies and next steps. I was referred to Jon by a corporate labor attorney who recommended Jon because “Jon has a game plan”. Once Jon knows all the details of your case he definitely will have a game plan. That said, he is open to the client’s opinions and is willing to take a different path that the client suggests if it makes sense and is beneficial to the case. Jon was always accessible and his staff and other partners were very helpful. After three and a half years the case was settled out of court and it was a very positive outcome. In my opinion, you couldn’t have a better employee rights attorney fighting for you than Jon Green.

Jon represented me as a whistleblower against a former employer. He worked with me for over three years and negotiated a settlement that I am happy with. Jon’s knowledge of employment law, coupled with his many years of experience never ceased to amaze me. He always took my calls and answered my questions, patiently educating me on how the law works. What you want from your case and what you can realistically achieve with the evidence you have is something that Jon understands well. Jon is open-minded, he will listen to your suggestions and will work with you to give you the best chance of success. Jon has seen it, done it and he draws on his own experiences over his long career to provide the “battle plan” for your case. The proof is in the results and I can truly say that Jon delivered for me. We spent a long time together working on my case. If you hire Jon, you will gain the benefit of his experience, a brilliant legal advocate and also a friend. I will miss him. Thank you again, Jon.

Jon came highly recommended to me through one of his colleagues.
As soon as we started talking he knew exactly what the main crux of my case should be and how it should be handled.
He and his staff were in constant communication throughout the whole process. They never left a question unanswered.
They worked patiently to make sure that I received a just and fair end to my case.
His empathy for my situation was more than I could have asked for. Workplace situations are very delicate and emotional. Jon struck the great balance between being firm with me, keeping me focused and having the right sense of humor!
There is no doubt that he is the leader in his field, his expertise is exceptional.
I would, without any hesitation recommend Jon and his firm.

Claudia came highly recommended by another top attorney, and that recommendation was spot on. When I consulted Claudia about a concerning situation with my employer, she carefully thought through all of my options, considering actions I could take on my own and actions that involved retaining her for more involved representation. She paid close attention to details and clearly had extensive experience handling similar issues. Should my problem persist, I will definitely hire her.

Claudia was a fantastic lawyer from the moment we first met. She listened to my story and was warm and welcoming. This instantly made me feel like she would be the perfect fit for my case. She helped me with my maternity and pregnancy discrimination case against my former employer. She was always there when I had questions (or even when I just needed to vent). I always felt like she was on my side and she was always helpful and explained everything to me throughout the entire process. I could not have asked for a better outcome and it was all thanks to her hard work. I highly recommend Claudia as an employment lawyer.

With the retirement of our previous counsel, we did a thorough search for one whose practice focuses on wills and trusts. We engaged Kelly Goldfine to update our estate planning and, in particular, draft trust agreements to ensure our estate would be dealt with in the smoothest manner when the time came. Kelly did not disappoint us in her thorough, professional and pleasant manner. She advised us on different approaches for achieving our goals, understood our circumstances and wishes, and offered refinements to the chosen course of action. She laid a solid groundwork, and we will continue to rely on her counsel in the future!

My entire situation was/is incredibly nuts. Mr. Warner has been handling it for 4 years now & it’s not yet over yet. He has been amazing. Eric handles every aspect of the process with professionalism and efficiency. He is a real person that you can talk to and will explain things you may not understand, and doesn’t make you feel silly about your inquiry. He’s kind, understanding and incredibly compassionate to your plight.
I would rehire him in a heartbeat ! I pray I won’t need him though!

Omar A. Lopez is a fantastic attorney. He always gives the best advice. I suffered for two years in a hostile work environment and was able to keep my job and stop my harasser when management was hoping to fire me because I complained about unfair and unethical workplace practices . This gave me a chance to find another job and keep my good employee records. I was never as upset as I was dealing with that horrible workplace and Mr. Lopez was there when I needed him for morale support. I could have taken the easy way out and quit or let them continue to harass me but I am glad I had Mr. Lopez’ help. I 100% recommend him. He truly is in it for justice and for the best interest of his clients, which is a rarity for lawyers it seems.

I am in extreme pain and disbelief at how my kids and I are homeless today, living out of hotels, and suffering to a degree that is unconscionable, after Mr Noble pressured me to settle my discrimination and assault case for far less than what we agreed to before mediation. I had high hopes in Mr. Noble's skills during the years of litigation before the disastrous second mediation right before the scheduled trial date. There was no justification to yell, demean and bully me during the mediation, and to further ignore the grave concerns I repeatedly brought to his attention for years about the extent of the harms visited upon my family and me by the defendants and their agents. I do not know why I was treated in this manner, as I worked very hard on my case and tried to cultivate a respectful, positive working relationship with Mr Noble and the entire team. I am already at risk of discrimination and harassment by virtue of my religious, ethnic and gender characteristics.
Now that my claim was dismissed, I continue to be very vulnerable and unprotected, which is the opposite of everything I hired Mr Noble for. I believe an economist should have evaluated my damages from the start. I forgive Mr. Noble, however I do not believe in suffering in silence. May God bring complete justice to my family.

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one.
Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney.
During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce.
Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process.
The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well.
In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one.
Five star review.

I highly recommend Mr Nicholas Macri as a lawyer. He handled my sexual harassment case, swiftly and professionally. Any questions I had he answered them with such confidence we won and settled our case. In less than a year. He fully explains everything and help me to understand the whole process, step-by-step this being my first sexual harassment case, I did not know what to expect at first. He never neglected any questions I had, and always respond in a timely manner almost immediately every time, considering what I went through, he made me feel so comfortable. I give him a 10 out of 10 I was highly satisfied with his performance and professionalism in what he does. Thank you so much for your help!

I had a very positive experience working with Lisa and would recommend her to others who need a staunch advocate and supporter.
She listened carefully to the circumstances of my complaint against a former employer and quickly grasped the details, concluding that I had a case worthy of pursuit. She is very professional and meticulous. Her written letters did a great job of capturing the facts and explaining the essence of our case.
I appreciated that she asked for my input and respectfully listened to it and took it under advisement. The overall effort took longer than I expected, but Lisa remained steadfast and encouraging throughout, even when my confidence sometimes wavered. It felt good to know she was in my corner.
She was thorough in her research and very clear and articulate in her status updates. It was evident that she remained consistently focused on my case. It was very easy to maintain the thread of our conversations throughout the entire multi-month process. I never wondered where things stood.
This extended to her precise accounting and invoicing. Though I suspect this is a customary practice, I nevertheless found it very helpful. It served more than one purpose. It provided a detailed list of actions completed and a glimpse into her thoroughness, and it also inspired confidence that she was leaving no stone unturned in her fight to win my case.
Thanks to Lisa, we achieved a desirable outcome!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the legal assistance provided by Lisa during a challenging period in my professional life. My case was complex in that I was still employed by the company while pursuing the discrimination charge. Lisa was dedicated to protecting my rights which made a significant difference in my ability to face the challenges with confidence.
Lisa always made herself readily available to address my concerns and answer my questions at every step of the way, offering a level of personal attention that I doubt I would have received from a larger firm. Lisa is the real deal – no-nonsense, efficient, and dedicated to getting the job done promptly.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone facing employment-related legal challenges. Thank you, Lisa, for making a profound difference in my life during a challenging period.

I was referred to Lisa Fried-Grodin by another attorney who had a conflict in my case. I contacted, consulted with, and hired Lisa to represent me in an employment matter. Lisa asked many questions throughout my time working with her and I feel that she really understood my situation.
I found Lisa to be thorough, detail-oriented, and a strong advocate. Lisa was particularly attentive to the details of all written documents. I learned a lot about the laws pertaining to my situation. I think the end result in my case is much better than I ever could have imagined and is a direct result of hiring Lisa. I am happy that I found my way to Lisa and that she was my legal advocate.

Aimee Lin helped us with a very stressful, employment law matter. Before deciding to hire Aimee, we had another legal consultation, but we immediately felt at ease with Aimee and moved forward with her. She'll calmly assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case. She'll put you at ease, not in an emotional crutch kind of way, but by bringing her vast experience in employment and contract law to bear on your case. Aimee was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable, and very committed to developing the absolute best legal arguments for us. She presented many solid legal strategies. She communicated with us throughout our engagement and was super responsive to our questions. Being involved in litigation is terribly stressful, especially for the uninitiated. We felt like Aimee had our back the entire time.
If you're considering Aimee for your legal matter, I would definitely recommend her.

A former employee attempted a cash grab with a frivolous claim, which jeopardized everything I had worked for over the last several years. Aimee not only handled it like a pro but put me at ease every step of the way. She truly cared about me and bore the weight of my frustration.
The employee walked away with a tiny fraction of her original demand (go-away-money) and I have my peace of mind and a thriving business.
Aimee is thorough, very knowledgeable, and brilliant in her field. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

A few months ago, my job laid me off without notice. They handed me a 14 page document to read and sign full of legal jargon. Feeling uneasy about signing these papers a friend recommended Aimee to me. Not only did Aimee attend to my needs, but she took the time to go through the document page by page. She explained to be what the job was requesting and negotiated on my behalf for different terms. Not wanting to have any contact with the company Aimee did all communication on my behalf. By the end of the negotiation I received more money than what was originally offered to me.
I am not recommending Aimee because she got me more money. I am recommending her because it was clear that my needs were her first priority. She is detailed oriented, trustworthy and caring. Needless to say she is also a phenomenal lawyer. It is without doubt that I would 100% endorse her to anyone.

My experience with Mr. Johnson and MDS was nothing short of superior. In managing my dispute, Mr. Johnson strategically addressed the issues at hand and found ways to engage all parties to settle the dispute in the most logical and economical manner. The firm aggressively defended my family and positioned the opposition in such a fashion that their best course of action was to dismiss their complaint.
Mr. Johnson was able to talk through the issues with me in a reasonable and commonsense fashion helping to keep me calm throughout an emotional and heated process as the dispute played out.
I am grateful to Mr. Johnson and MDS, and recommend the firm without reservation.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Dave for the past 25 years but only recently have I sought his legal representation. My wife and I retained Attorney Johnson's services in late 2012 for what we expected to be a routine real-estate transaction. Without going into great detail, our routine transaction became a legal nightmare. Dave Johnson and his wonderful paralegal Karen Rizzo provided my family with the strong, intelligent, and no-nonsense legal expertise that we desperately needed to rectify the situation. If you need legal representation for any reason, let your research end with Attorney Johnson and his associates.

I hired Mr. Tatulli on three cases and he successfully represented me by winning a case by exposing a mayor who fabricated data against me (wrongful termination/suspension). His research and closing statements unequivocally won over the city council resulting in my reinstatement. Mr. Tatulli provides the legal knowledge, constant and effective communication, die-hard commitment, the highest level of integrity, and the demonstrated ability to take on any firm that is believed to be a legal industry champion and slay them with his stone of intelligence and a slingshot of passion that is second to none. The second (defamation) and third (employment) cases are ongoing and positive results have been evidenced with the defamation case and we are confident of the outcome for the employment case. He is David "the counselor" seeking justice against what often appears to be legal Goliaths!

Timothy's research into my case was thorough and thoughtful. It was obvious that he had the experience and expertise I needed, but his care and concern for the human side is what really set this counsel apart. Finding an attorney with his integrity, thoughtfulness and courtroom savvy was a blessing to me, as I did not know which way to turn after being injured due to a landlord that did not act on my pleas for heat in the wintertime. His tenacity in the pre-trial and throughout the ordeal, and his knowledge and insight into the law and how it should protect me sent a strong message; do the right thing, or meet my lawyer, Timothy McIlwain in the courtroom! I can't recommend him highly enough even if we did lose the case (which we did not!)!

I have worked with many attorneys in the past, and have found Mark Kowal to be one of the best attorneys I have ever done business with. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field. After using his services, I feel like I am better educated and that the forms that he has drafted for us are very detailed and professional. Mark has always returned my phone calls and e-mails promptly and he explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. I will continue to use Mark Kowal in the future and would highly recommend him.

Mark knows his stuff! Not only that, he wants you to understand and he works to make sure all stones are unturned. Mark was able to show me how to protect myself better and to make negotiations equal rather than just on the seller's side. He gave me equal footing.

I contacted Mr. Sandler with regard to Employment and Labor law. I then hired him to review my case. His pricing is reasonable and fair. He took time to thoroughly review my situation and he then carefully explained everything in a way that I could understand and made suggestions as to my best course of action. In a nutshell, highly recommended and five stars!

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Termination Lawyer
- Verify Their License: Check your state's bar association website to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review Their Experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law and have specific experience with wrongful termination cases.

- Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) indicates a focus on employment law.
- Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

- Employment Documents: Bring your employment contract, employee handbook, offer letters, termination letter, and any severance agreements.
- Performance Records: Include performance reviews, commendations, or any disciplinary actions.
- Correspondence: Provide emails, texts, or memos related to your termination or any incidents leading up to it.
- Witness Information: List names and contact information of colleagues who can support your claims.
- Timeline of Events: Prepare a detailed account of events, including dates and descriptions of incidents.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your situation effectively and advise you on the best course of action.
