Melissa was by an amazing attorney. She went above and beyond for myself and my children. She was smart, caring and always available for me. She helped me through a really tough time and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lawyer that cares about their client!!

Melissa was the pillar of strength when I just wanted it to be over. She fought for me every step of the way and never backed down. She worked hard for what was rightfully mine, in what should have been a simple divorce, but got a little complicated. She was always accessible and "worked" for me in every sense of the word. If you want success on your side, hire Melissa. You won't be sorry. She's the best.

Caring, out going individual. Beyond the words helpful during the darkest time. Knew actually what to say and how to always react while assuring that things will get better. Extremely talented in her field and would definitely recommend and use again!

Melissa changed my sons (and my) life for the better. I was seeking to relocate over 1000 miles out of state, which is not an easy feat in New Jersey. It was a long, stressful, and tough process. Our case ended up going the mile to trial. Melissa was completely responsive throughout the whole process, answered every crazy question I had, and eased my worries. Her true skills shined in the courtroom. In the end, we won our case and I was granted the relocation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better representation, and a better person to emotionally guide me through the process. I would whole heartedly recommend Melissa to any friends and family who were seeking family law representation.

Getting divorced can be an extremely emotionally heavy event and we may not be in the most mindful place. Melissa's expertise and and steady stance got me through a difficult time and I am very grateful for her! Highly recommend.

I have worked with Melissa for over a year now. My case is ongoing and extraordinarily high conflict, and I found Melissa after not having a lot of success with another attorney. Melissa is passionate, knowledgeable, and kind. Since the other party in my case is constantly creating issues that need to be addressed, there have been many times where I emailed or texted Melissa in the evening or on a weekend, expecting that I wouldn't hear from her until the next day, but she got back to me immediately. That's so important to me as someone dealing with family court issues that directly affect my child. I appreciate her honesty- even when it means kindly letting me know when I got it wrong and what I can do better the next time I have to interact with my high conflict ex. I spent years feeling like I could do nothing right- that every single thing I did or said would be taken out of context or used against me. Melissa has helped me- not just in confidently and assertively managing my case with the courts, but with helping direct my communications with my adversary. She has guided me to ensure I can expect and demand what I deserve and reminds me of what I am entitled to when my ex is trying to pull something unsavory. As someone who has been dragged through years of ongoing custody battles, I have spent a great deal of time feeling exhausted and discouraged. Melissa has helped me. She has helped my child. She truly cares and she will fight for what you deserve. She will not let you be stepped on by dishonest adversaries who will say anything to win. Hire Melissa, you will not regret it.

Melissa is responsive, knowledgeable, dependable, and timely. I have been a client for over six years and all of my family law issues (divorce, custody, pre-nup) go through her. I have recommended people to her who also tell me they have a positive experience.

Seiden Family Law group has gained the best family law attorney. I always felt secure and protected by Melissa Cohen for the past 13 yrs during and post my divorce. She handled my divorce case with so much knowledge, dedication and was by my side and available for any issues I had.
