Claire and Felicia were amazing to work with! Claire really took the time to help me reach a reasonable settlement and avoid a contested divorce. Both Claire and Felicia were supportive and helped me navigate a divorce that could have become very complicated. I can't recommend them enough. Claire truly cares about her clients and I think she is the best divorce lawyer in Monmouth County if not NJ as she’s has the knowledge and expertise to get you the best possible outcome.

If you are in the unfortunate situation of a divorce and are worried about your future with your children, assets and mental well being Claire Scully is the attorney for you. From start to finish Claire has guided me every step of the way. My first priority was my two daughters and getting my equal share with them. Going through all the horrible aspects of a divorce parenting time, forensic audits of a business, splitting up assets and a restraining order against my now X wife. Claire wins time and time again. With a fantastic paralegal Felicia is always there for any question you may have. Always an ear to listen and help guide you through some of the worst days. Their knowledge and team work is truly a work of art. A divorce is an absolute horrible life event but having a team like Claire and Felicia in your corner truly matters. I never felt like any old client to Claire, she makes you feel like a top priority and truly cares about you. From the 9am Monday phone call to the just checking on you call on a Sunday afternoon Claire truly cares about her clients. While your family may be falling apart you gain a family with Claire and Felicia at Scully Family law.

I hired Claire Scully in summer 2019 when I filed for divorce. Claire and her Legal Assistant Felicia were available to talk whenever I needed more understanding about the Court system and what to expect in my case. Claire worked diligently to get me the desired relief. She is professional, thorough and empathetic. Now, several years later, I reached out to Claire again because I needed to modify my MSA due to a change in circumstances. Claire guided me and fought for the proper protection for my daughter. I am relieved I received what I asked for. If you are looking for the family lawyer who is professional, earnest and gets things done, I highly recommend her! She will fight for you to get the desired outcome you are looking for. Claire is truly an excellent family lawyer! I will definitely use her again in the future if needed.

I'd give Claire a 6th star. Claire is a master at her craft. When we go to a lawyer, we want to feel assured that we're choosing someone who understands not only how to protect our rights but also understands how we're feeling about the situation. Being involved with the legal system for many is scary. I was hesitant to take a consultation with her at first because I was already speaking to multiple attorneys. It was an extremely stressful time because I was a defendant in a TRO case which was time sensitive. I was being accused of things that were untrue during the aftermath of a complicated relationship that's demise mimicked a divorce. Once I spoke to her on the phone, I knew I would be taken care of. Claire is highly intelligent, she understood better than any other the reality of the situation. She was uniquely perceptive when listening to what I had to say and subsequently was able to immediately figure out how to help me. She came to trial ammo loaded, confident as the sun is bright, and executed perfectly from start to finish. Thank you so much, Claire.

I was married to the kind of person who lied about who they were and committed countless financial crimes as well as various forms of abuse throughout the duration of our marriage inclusive of building a false reality via forged documents and made up scenarios, people and danger. When I forced this person to exit my life, I had no idea how I intended to survive. She had drained all of our financial accounts and my mental health had suffered so significantly I was rendered (temporarily) disabled. My situation was messy. Claire was undaunted- she agreed to represent me to separate myself from the scariest, most deceitful person I have ever met. I am confident I would be deceased today had Claire and Felicia not helped me through this process. Claire, respecting my boundaries at every turn, calmed my anxieties and made herself readily available. She listened to me and pivoted as necessary- there were certainly some unexpected curves along the way that she had to recalibrate in order to navigate (my ex is the stuff of lifetime movies). She changed course with grace time after time, never tiring and never blaming me for things far beyond my control. She called me the Sunday before my scheduled divorce after I had called it off via e-mail. The fear I felt was too immense and I intended to discontinue my life. I had blocked her office number and was attempting to rehome my dogs. Who calls on a new number I’ve never seen before but Claire Scully? I don’t think she even realizes the timing of her call or how it affected the timeline of my life. She used her lawyer voice at first, clearly displeased by my recent abandonment of our plan, but quickly realized I was just terrified. She immediately changed course again and added language into the divorce paperwork to protect me from my very legitimate fears. She and the judge assigned to my case then spent an hour and a half in court painstakingly crafting language to protect me from further abuse, conning related behavior, etc. She also carefully preserved my right to press charges should I ever find myself capable and willing. She and the courts provided me a divorce decree that made it clear that my spouse was a person of interest should anything happen to me or my home thus granting me the peace of mind to finally sleep soundly at night and begin to feel a sense of safety and wellbeing. I believe that Claire and Felicia’s expertise, empathy, wisdom and dedication to their work enabled them to meet me in (hopefully) my darkest hour with the compassion necessary to help me proceed with a dignified life. During parts of this process, Claire and Felicia probably cared more about me than I was able to care about myself. If you are in need of legal services, I hope you find Claire and I hope you choose her- she will absolutely identify and defend your very best interests with every fiber of her being. I could not recommend her or Felicia any more highly. They get it done when it seems impossible. The humor she brought to the situation was therapeutic and the insight she offered was invaluable. I’m glad I met her- lame circumstances, but overall 11/10. Claire and Felicia are about as good as human beings come.

Hiring Claire as my Family Law Attorney in a custody case was the best choice, she was actually a referral and I am so glad she was. The case is still ongoing but Claire makes me feel safe and supported and cares so much for her clients. She fights for what’s right, and will guide you in areas that are foreign to you. I couldn’t have ever picked a better attorney! Thank You Claire for everything! You have put my head and heart at ease when I needed it.

I used Claire Scully law firm and I was very pleased with my outcome. Claire and Felicia are fantastic!!!! I came into the office in tears I was facing a TRO (with my daughters being removed) and family court matter. I felt so defeated, alone and guilty until proven innocent. Claire and Felicia changed that feeling, they assured me they would fight for me and my daughters will soon be home. I called and emailed all the time, both Claire and Felicia had the patience’s and care I desperately needed. They put all my worries to rest. Claire made sure I was protected legally while having my daughters and my best interest always in mind. She resolved the issue in a timely manner and at a great cost. I highly recommend this firm, these two women are my heroes and I couldn’t thank them enough. If you are seeking an attorney that is knowledgeable and will fight for you and your family this is the firm you need.

Ms. Scully's office is responsive and professional. Felicia answers the phone personally and she will get back to you promptly. This office will listen, help you if they can and respond with an appointment, information and documentation right away. We were thrilled to find them and to receive such professional and courteous help. Family strife, divorce, restraining orders bring stress, Ms. Scully brings the peace and reassurance you are looking for.

Needed a lawyer and after meeting with Claire I knew she was the right choice. She was by my side every step of the way, had an answer for anything I asked and is a very easy person to communicate with. I'm so fortunate that I put my trust into her as we accomplished our desired outcome for my case. She respected and understood me well and is the definition of a true professional. Her and her secretary Felicia were wonderful to work with from start to finish.

Had a TRO placed against me that was heading towards a FRO from my daughters mother . I found out about Claire Scully and I am so happy I did. Claire and Felicia did a good job with helping me through the process and explained everything that would happen and what I needed to do. In the end Claire got everything dismissed I am very pleased with her services

Claire is really proactive and is a superb lawyer! Really recommend hiring Claire as your lawyer, she truly dedicate and caters her time to fully review the case and really do fight for you to win! Felicia her secretary is also amazing she always stay on top of following up and keeps you updated with even tiny bits of details that really show they really care for you as a human and people’s piece. Claire and Felicia are the best duo! My family and friends and I would only go to Claire Scully for any future family matters as she is very skilled and know how to handle cases and my case was the most complicated as it had multiple previous preceedings with different justifications and NY state laws. Claire really fought for me and got me what I needed and now I am on a journey for my new life!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Claire and her assistant Felicia. Last November, unnecessary harm, accompanied by a deluge of lies, attacked me unexpectedly and mercilessly. It plunged me into the coldest winter of my life, catching me off guard. I was extremely anxious and confused. During that helpless time, I consulted with several different lawyers, but ultimately, I chose Claire, and it turned out to be the best decision I made. She is extremely professional, experienced, and energetic, and she is always assertive when it matters most. What sets her apart from other attorneys is that she really connects with her clients from the heart. Claire demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. She was always available to answer questions or concerns I had, even during weekends and evenings, and her responsiveness and attention to detail are truly impressive. She is very skilled at managing cases and always projects confidence. With Claire by my side, I felt confident and reassured. My journey is not over, however, as she said to me and I believe now, "Spring is eternal."
