My husband and I finally acted on making a will. We reached out to Mark Chazin, of Gebhardt and Kiefer in Annandale, NJ. So glad we did! He made the steps very easy, explained everything in details and answered any questions we had clearly and simply. He was prompt, very accommodating, professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for your estate planning/will.

Recently retained legal counsel (Leslie Parikh) from Gebhardt & Kiefer Law Offices as a referral from a reliable friend. The services provided were professional and tailored to my particular situation. I couldn’t be happier with the process and ultimate outcome. I now consider G&K as my firm of choice for any future legal support.

Great place.

Mark Chazin led me through Estate Planning in a simple and straightforward manner. I was very pleased with how easy it was.

We recently completed our Estate Planning with Mark Chazin at G&K. Mark was great to work with. He provided us with an outline of information that we needed to gather before our meeting. This made our meeting relatively short, but very productive. He explained things in simple English, not legalese. When we went back to finalize our will, again, everything was well organized and we left with all of our documents and a nicely organized folder with great instructions of what we needed to do with everything. Overall our experience was painless and made us wonder why we had put it off for so long. We would highly recommended Mark to friends.

I was handed to Dianna from Bill Goodwin halfway through my divorce case which was very contentious and damaging to my kids. Mr. Goodwin wrote a settlement agreement which left me no protection from an ex-wife who alienated my daughter from me and my entire extended family, and left me bare to being treated like an inhuman college wallet, and zero input to my daughter's college choices. Unfortunately my daughter suffered and I just learned failed out of her university after 2 years. At times I felt that Diana's (and Bill's) professional relationship with opposing attorney was more important to them than providing zealous representation for me! Indeed I now see that Diana provided a glowing endorsement of the opposing attorney on AVVO during my case! My ex-wife's attorney, on the other hand, was outstanding; she zealously represented her client at all times. She insulted me nearly constantly, with barely a response from Bill or Diana. In fact, during one of our telephone conferences I became upset with the pleasantries that were being exchanged between opposing lawyers, to which Bill asked me, "don't you have colleagues?" Basically, I think Diana did the best she could with the poor settlement agreement drafted and misrepresented to me by Bill Goodwin. On balance, I think Dianna is a competent attorney, smart and articulate. The only criticism and suggestion would be to keep the professional attorney vs. attorney relationship secondary to zealous representation of your own client. The opposing attorney in my case did a much better job in this regard. I like Diana and wish her well!

I have used William J. Rudnik to represent me for over 15 years now for a variety of different reasons and have always felt I was very well represented every time. This included in court where he looked out for me in a contentious divorce, as well as drawing up personal contracts and my will. Bill takes the time to listen to my needs, advise me properly, and draw up what works best for me as his client. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation in any matter.

William J. Rudnik, Esq. was exceedingly kind and patient with me as he walked me through the legal channels of a difficult divorce. He took the time that I needed him to, to not only listen to my heart in the matter, but to explain a great deal that I did not understand. He did so confidently, with much knowledge - in terms that I could grasp. Utilizing both his legal training and field experience, I was greatly blessed because Bill followed through on the matter at hand with the best interest of my children in mind. I am convinced that in matters of the family especially, compromise is warranted. Bill was able to manage the attorney of the plaintiff well, and in the end, the matter was fairly closed. I am grateful to God for His generous and gracious provision of Bill to the children and me in an unanticipated season of our lives.

Excellent attorneys - Bill Rudnick and John Manfreda were responsive, very knowledgeable and great to use. Would highly recommend them.

My husband and I needed to update our wills, power of attorney and health care directives. We were referred to Mark Chazin by our financial planner and were very pleased with Mark. We met one time in his office, he listened to what we were saying and by the end of the appointment we had everything in order. He is extremely knowledgeable, direct and organized. We highly recommend Mark for estate planning.

My husband and I were referred to Mark Chazin by our accountant to help with updating our Will. We had contacted other lawyers in the area and in the end we were very happy with choosing Mark. He listened to what we were looking for and gave us exactly what we needed and more. He is very direct and organized, which is very important when preparing a Will. We highly recommend Mark.
