We operate the largest criminal law firm in mid Michigan. When we have clients call for a referral for a quality firm in New Jersey, the ONLY Firm we recommend is The Bianchi Law Group. Knowing these lawyers personally allows us to have the confidence that the referred legal matter will be handled at the highest level. Blue ribbon lawyers, impeccable ethics and a national reputation.
This should be the first call you make.

I had an amazing experience with Bianchi Law! My attorney was on point, responsive and did what he said he would do. I felt like they were a good fit because they had experience as former prosecutors. I was not disappointed. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Highly recommended!

I wholeheartedly recommend David Jancha to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney. From start to finish, Attorney Jancha demonstrated exceptional communication skills, keeping me informed every step of the way. His ability to negotiate and achieve the most favorable outcome for my case far exceeded my expectations. What truly sets Attorney Jancha apart is his genuine compassion—he understood the emotional and challenging nature of my situation and provided the support and care I needed. I will enthusiastically refer him to friends, family, and colleagues who require legal services. A heartfelt thank you to both the exceptional lawyer and the remarkable person that he is.

Our case was handled by Paul and Jess even better than we could have hoped! This is a team of true experts who patiently and thoroughly guided us through every step of this scary journey.

Paul and his team are simply the best at what they do! They have an incredibly thoughtful approach for their clients matched with a forward thinking legal strategy and execution. I have hired Paul's team for family before, and as a concerned family member, I felt that I had placed my family in the best of hands; nothing can beat knowing that in your heart. And the favorable result that was gained for my family proved that I had made the best decision by turning to this firm.

I worked with Matt and Ana on a divorce case that was supposed to be quick and straightforward, but the other party made it incredibly challenging, as expected. Despite numerous obstacles, including the other party joining the Army and refusing service multiple times, Ana never gave up. She consistently strategized and found ways to move the process forward. She went above and beyond, even reaching out to JAG officers at the Army base and navigating their bureaucracy. Thanks to her determination and expertise, they successfully resolved the case, leaving everything free and clear. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated attorney in Houston.

Mr. Horak offered utmost professionalism and care while having Felony charges against me dismissed.
My case was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved but Mr. Horak strategic thinking helped me achieve a favorable outcome.
The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses. I am very glad to have Mr. Horak as my attorney.

Mr fiallo really went above and beyond to prove that the information I was providing was credible. I have been experiencing a tumultuous custody battle as a step parent for the last couple years Mr fiala was a ble to go above and beyond and help me prove my case. Our children our future generation and I think it's imperative to make sure that they are properly taken care of no matter what the emotional history is from the parent. Thank you so much Mr fiala for being able to help me substantiate my case to show that the allegations against our children are not substantiated. They are provoked and that does not lead to nothing but chaos within our relationship.

As a colleague of Lauren's, both serving on the Friends of CASA Franklin County board, and both volunteer guardians ad litem, I am impressed by her legal skills and experience, and her passion for helping children in need and their families. Lauren provided me with timely support and mentoring enabling me to help a child with a disability return to his loving family. Lauren is awesome!

I cannot thank Lauren Sabo enough for taking the time to speak with me about my concerns regarding my son’s reading disability. She was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate, and it was evident from the start that she truly cared about my son’s needs. Her explanations were clear and thoughtful, and she made a complex process feel much more manageable.
What impressed me the most was her genuine dedication to advocating for children with special education needs—not because to gain financial profit, but because she believes in making a difference in this underrepresented group of children. Lauren was so helpful and encouraging, and gave me hope during what has been a challenging time. She even provided resources and practical steps that I can use to better support my son, which I know will be incredibly beneficial on this journey.
It’s rare to find someone who not only has the knowledge and expertise but also the heart to serve. If you are looking for someone who will truly listen and fight for what’s best for your child, I highly recommend Lauren Sabo. She is an incredible resource and advocate.

Joe is amazing! He’s patient and understands the laws extremely well. For my case, it took almost a year and a half to go to trial, almost a day and a half in court proceedings, almost an hour and a half of deliberations (including a one hour lunch break) for them to find me “NOT GUILTY”.
Thanks!

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.

I would be lying if I said anything negative about this fine lady and very best lawyer anyone could have to represent them! Amanda Salcido whom happens to be the wife of one of my close friends at church, was so dependable and helpful. She gave excellent advice, and even recommended things I did not think of! Talk about someone who knows what they are doing and the patience to get it done right! I'm so very happy and grateful that she was there, to help me through this challenging event of my life. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal service. If I'm silly enough to need this type of help again... Amanda Salcido, you know whom I'm calling!!!

Shannon is an essential part of my business. When I started, I was using contracts that I had crafted from a template, and one from another attorney who didn't understand my industry. Shannon not only wrote the best contract for my business, but she also explained each part of the document and what it does so I completely understand how to protect my business. I'm fortunate to have such a trusted advisor on my team.

Shannon Villalba offers a holistic legal & business lens on my business. She has been able to offer support and advice in ways that I didn't know I needed. I feel that she is very trustworthy and kind, and that makes me feel comfortable working with her and essentially trusting her with these pieces that I'm glad I don't have to worry about. I couldn't do it alone and it's important to have people on your team that you can trust! When I found Shannon, I asked Facebook friends for "a lawyer with heart" and that is exactly what Shannon is - strong, can defend & support in powerful ways, but also is connected to her heart.

I can truly say that Attorney PieRina Infelise works with integrity, accuracy, and most of all compassion. I was 30 days away from adopting a child I had for two and a half years to only be falsely accused of child abused. Attorney PieRina was very detailed about finding the truth and presenting it to the judge with all the facts. Thank God for her due diligence I won my case! Thank you Attorney PieRina Infelise for all the hard work you've done.

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.
Anyone who is serious about getting their legal issues in order, or may only need legal advice, you must reach out to David. Highly recommended!

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.

Heather Fig is an outstanding Attorney. She should be awarded the highest rating that any rubric offers. She is ethical, extremely hard working, eminently knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. She is familiar with every detail of my case and the law. She applies herself so completely that one would think she’s working for a relative. Honestly there should literally be a line at her office to procure her representation. She’ll restore your good name if you are wrongly accused. Her reputation in the courthouse proceeds her. People actually stand back and say ooh when they hear that you have Heather Fig defending you. Seriously, if you don’t pick her to represent you you’re making a mistake.
Her staff is equally terrific. She would never surround herself with anything but the best. Working with her has been a genuine source of inspiration.

I recently had an issue with a law firm regarding a $300 consultation deposit that never occurred. Despite my attempts to resolve the matter, I've only received the runaround. This experience raises serious concerns about their reliability and trustworthiness, particularly when considering the complexity and importance of legal proceedings. If a firm can't handle something as straightforward as returning a deposit, how can one trust them with more intricate legal matters? I would caution others to think twice before engaging with this firm for legal services. It's important to do your due diligence and perhaps ask if others have had similar experiences. Proceed with caution.

The immigration process can be overwhelming, but having the right people to help in the journey can really make all the difference!

I recently used Stracci Law for legal counsel for my case in Porter County & I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case. I was referred by Frankie and I don’t think I’ve ever received a better referral. Nichole & Peter Fouts were so professional, communicative, helpful & overall amazing with every possible thing my case endured. Peter Fouts rest assured that he would get my possible outcome my actual outcome & I thank him and Nichole so very much. With me moving out of the state of Indiana back home to Texas I was a little nervous but both Nichole and Peter made my case a breeze. If you are having a criminal law issue & looking for legal counsel I cannot stress how much I would recommend Stracci Law over any other firm in NWI. Thank you thank you again Peter & Nichole! 🤍

I recently worked with Douglas and Lindsey during my divorce, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach. From the very first consultation, they provided clear, honest guidance and made the entire process less daunting.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way.
One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process.
His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Whether you’re facing language barriers or simply looking for someone you can trust, Jim Miron and his team at the Maddox Law Firm is what you want on your side.

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.
