First, I had a consultation with Melissa and explained my situation and where I stood within my situation. She listened intently, did not interrupt, and when I finished, she asked some questions about what I had said, and offered some explanation of how I should be handling myself as well as my case.She not only understood my case thoroughly but I got the feeling that she also understood me. I felt very comfortable talking to her, and she felt comfortable explaining and talking to me, I felt. I hired her on the spot. (this meeting was approximately two hours) During the next few months, she was always there for me. Before I would act on anything between my wife and I, I always consulted her first. She not only Offered advice but explained both sides of the story. Then left the decision of what to do to me. I was able to make sound decisions based on her counsel and looking at the situation in more than one perspective. She guided me every step of the way and helped me to an unbelievable conclusion of my case. I would also like to mention that her assistant,Meghan, Was absolutely wonderful!!

Melissa was amazing! I wouldn’t recommend getting divorced to anyone, but if you do Melissa is who you want in your corner. She worked tirelessly even on her weekends and any odd time that I reached out to her. She made this very difficult time as easy for me as possible.

I hired Melissa to handle my divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable about my rights as they pertained to my situation. Melissa guided me through the entire process which at times could be unnerving. She never missed a deadline and kept me on track whiIe I had many other life obligations to manage. Melissa was very proactive in following up with opposing counsel in order to keep the process moving forward. Her professionalism and dedication to my situation was outstanding and I would highly recommend her!

We retained Melissa to help my husband with a complex issue regarding his divorce with his ex-wife. She jumped right in and knew strategically how to handle and resolve our issue. Her knowledge of this area of the law is impeccable! She not only treats you with respect, she treats with you with compassion because she knows how highly emotional these types of issues are as was such with our case. Whenever we had a question she was available immediately to answer it for us as well as to ease our anxiety over the issues she was addressing for us. She was able to get us everything we asked for in court and we are extremely grateful to her!! I personally recommend her to everyone I know in need of a family law attorney. My husband and I were truly blessed to have her as our attorney and will be forever grateful for her amazing advocacy on our behalf!! I highly highly recommend her services!!

I retained Ms. Cohen regarding a sensitive family matter. She has been nothing but knowledgeable, prompt, and reliable. The dedication she has to her practice is unparalleled. Initially, I was emotional and wavering. Ms. Cohen sensitively and professionally explained the law and decisions (although difficult) I had to make for the safety of myself and my daughter. She thoroughly explains all possible routes and outcomes. Ms. Cohen has a human touch coupled with a fierce loyalty that is an immeasurable benefit when considering a family law attorney. As I continue my journey through family law, her guidance and representation is nothing short of excellence. I have recommended her and will continue to do so.

She was great the whole way around. Recommend to anyone for any family law needs.

Melissa has been amazing for me and my daughter. She helped me through an extremely difficult stage of life, and made sure she did everything to get the results we needed. She has high attention to detail, is compassionate, and has low tolerance for nonsense from the opposition. I felt protected and confident when she represented me. I highly recommend her!

Our family had an exceptional experience with Melissa Cohen. We had a very unique case and she took her time to listen and thoroughly review all aspects of it. We are thankful for the way she always made sure we understood the next steps and we felt confident with her representing us.

I came to Seiden Family Law during one of the most challenging times of my life. I needed a tenacious, highly capable, well-respected attorney with deep knowledge of Union County's family law bench and procedures, and that is exactly what I found in Melissa. Melissa helped resolve my custody dispute quickly and in my favor. In addition to being a highly skilled and motivated advocate, I found Melissa to be compassionate and a great communicator as well. Thank you!

Ms. Cohen exceeded my expectations as an attorney. She consistently offered me succinct direction, thoroughly explained the processes and options and was open to my (countless) questions. Ms. Cohen was thoroughly knowledgeable and remained unwavering in challenging situations. She was compassionate in her approach to all situations, extending a personal commitment to my case all while being the consummate professional to myself, her staff, the court and opposition.

Melissa has been my son’s advocate and mine, since the moment I met her. What impressed me most about Melissa was her professionalism, her investment of time to understand my individual case, her thorough knowledge and understanding of case law and precedent that would support my positions. And most of all, her ability to guide and advise me appropriately on every single issue that came up in this stressful process. I was overwhelmed and scared and needed her to assist me with a contentious custody motion. Melissa was always straightforward and told me what to expect each step of the way. She does not always tell you what you want to hear, though she will provide the outstanding guidance and advice you need to get the best outcome possible. Having a lawyer who is honest with you and guides you even when the information is difficult or not what you want to hear is critical to get the best outcome for your family. My situation is high conflict and Melissa remained steadfast and professional while we navigated the contentious and often frustrating process. Melissa always promptly answered my questions, emails, calls and responded in a manner that helped navigate every issue. I am not someone who would easily give five stars, especially on a topic as important as my son and his well-being, and Melissa is absolutely five stars. I have recommended Melissa to colleagues, friends and family and will continue to do so. She has high integrity and expertise and I trust her in every instance.

I not only recommend Melissa Cohen, but I guarantee that once you choose Melissa as your attorney you will find that she has absolute integrity for the proffesion and those that she represtnts. She is diligent, thorough and truly supportive of the individual needs of each and every client. Thank you Melissa!!!
