My experience with Mr Speck was great from start to finish. Going through a divorce is never easy, but Mr. Speck made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He and his team's expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach were evident throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to anyone own need of a reliable and trustworthy divorce lawyer.

Mr. Speck assisted me in handling my brother's DUI cases, which involved a couple of legal issues. Thankfully, with his help, we were able to get the last one dismissed, which could have resulted in jail time. Although the process was a bit prolonged, Mr. Speck remained dedicated and committed to our case. We are grateful for his support and pleased with the outcome.

I highly recommend Speck Law Offices! Mike is very knowledgeable and very well respected in the Monmouth County Courts. My specific case had a lot of twist and turns which Mike walked me through and kept me sane! Mike is always available for his clients and makes you his priority.

Mike has been my attorney for over 20 years. Throughout difficult times and legal tribulations, he not only defended me but made sure my family and I were alright emotionally as well. He’s a legal advisor and friend you could always count on to answer the phone 24/7 for legal guidance or just someone to listen to you.

I had an unpleasant situation and Michael was essential to making sure my rights were protected. If I ever encounter a need for a legal representation and Michael covers it, my choice is made!

after 6 years and 6 lawyers Mike Speck with his experience ended my battle with the family court and the matrimonial lawyers that have no idea of laws or court rules. Mr Speck knows all the the laws and rules can dig up more on your spouse that you had no idea of can read tax returns and profit and loss statements not afraid to call out another attorney in front of a judge (in a nice way) his assistant Theresa is wonderful , THE LAW OFFICE OF MIKE SPECK GETS 10 STARS

He cuts through the BS, gets to the bottom, and gives an objective assessment of the issues. I would not make a move without his advice. He understands and uses the law effectively. Highly recommended!

Don't just go to any divorce lawyer. Interview a few. Include Mike as one of them. I did not do that. I ended up with two previous lawyers. Careful of the firms that call themselves "matrimonial firms" or they "specialize in family law only." This probably means they have no other experience. I learned that in a divorce you need a lawyer with lots of experience in different areas of the law. Mike had that experience. Then I met Mike. I was referred to him by a friend. How refreshing, Mike is a lawyer who gave me his cell phone number. A lawyer who returned a phone call. A lawyer who returned a text. A lawyer who I felt was the epitome of the word "counselor." We talked things through. He helped me tamp down the anger and make rational decisions. Mike was very fair on his fees. Mike sat down and explained the retainer agreement was. He worked with me. The other two lawyers threw a piece of paper in front of me and told me to sign it. Mike's bills laid out what he did for his money. I didn't have to guess what the "T/C" was about. Mike gave a synopsis under each bill. My first two lawyers just sent me a bill. I had no idea what they did, other than a code and a time amount, with no synopsis. Mike sent me correspondence to review before he sent it out. Mike copied me with every correspondence that went in or out of his office. i had to beg my other attorneys for copies. I was part of the process, not just the audience.

Michael R. Speck and his assistant Theresa were absolutely amazing to deal with! He has your best interests in mind and kept me up to date with my case which was about a year long with going into trial. He always comfortably explained the the potential worst and best scenarios which isn't always something every lawyer does. They worked out a payment plan that worked for me and him, even worked in the specialists and reports which couldn't have been appreciated more! Mr.Speck let me know which court dates we needed to attend, and which we did not because of rescheduling. He was a personal recommendation from a friend of mine and I won't be consulting any other lawyers. I believe he has your best case scenario in mind and he's willing to work his way to get it for you! Thank you Michael Speck for taking my case and I propose anyone reading this; consultant him AT LEAST for their case.

Mike Speck is an excellent Family Law attorney. While he is exemplary in all areas of law and litigation - Mr. Speck proved to be absolutely phenomenal during a very stressful child support case in 2018 through 2019. My child’s father submitted falsified tax returns, Mr. Speck’s keen eye immediately picked up on this act of perjury. He subpoenaed my ex’s lawyer, accountants and the IRS to uncover my ex made $400,000+ a year not $90,000. Child Support laws in NJ are very tough and calculated with a child support worksheet. Once we had my ex’s accurate income info, Mr. Speck was able to calculate correct child support based on my FT income and my ex’s. I saw a substantial increase in child support for my son. Mr. Speck also argued and won - that my ex pay 50% for elite sports training and summer camp. Plus, a % of health insurance for my son. Additionally I received a legal and substantial lump sum of arrears. He prevailed in every matter presented in the case. As a single, working mother, in cancer remission, with sole custody of my son - he truly saved my life. We also encouraged my son’s father to exercise his visitation rights to no avail. Mr. Speck is smart, detailed, and a no-nonsense lawyer. My ex tried his best to out-wit Mr. Speck but failed miserably. In fact, the judge ordered my ex pay a portion of Mr. Speck’s legal fees. The child support case was based in NJ. But my ex lives out of state. That did not stop Mr. Speck from fully prevailing. I’d like to add, in the matter of family court, and because my minor son was involved, I was extremely moved by Mr. Speck’s empathy and determination to fight for my child’s rights. He will represent me until my child graduates college or graduate school. If you need a child support lawyer - you need to call Mr. Speck today.

Mike was recommended by another great lawyer, Ira Karlstein. As soon as Mike and I started our lawyer-client interaction, I had to reach out to Ira and thank him profusely. Mike gets things done and keeps me in the loop every step of the way. He always reveals his cards so I am not blindsided. It is this approach plus his positivity that encouraged me to trust his judgement and know that I can be open with him regarding financial limitations and mental stress. One last point, I canvassed several lawyers and his rates are reasonable. I did consult with a lawyer who charged less than him but this lawyer's method discouraged me from finding him trustworthy and reliable. There are other lawyers who charge a lot more because they are part of a bigger firm. For my case, Mike Speck is the right lawyer and whether or not I win does not take away from the fact that Mike and Theresa (his assistant) are the best !

My husband and I retained Mike after numerous failed attempts to resolve post divorce judgements costing a fortune with 2 previous lawyers. Mike was kind, compassionate and above all, knew the urgency in resolving our issues, even making himself available on Sunday's because we were dealing with a child custody issue. He was a life saver for us and I highly recommend Mike. In fact we have sent him many of our friends. The service he offers at the rate he charges makes him one of a kind, rare finds for a lawyer!
