i am a single mom who is taking care of my 2 years old son.it's very difficult to deal with divorce and child issue case ,especially my first language is not English and i am in a very low income.and my case was complicated.i was SO glad i found Mr.Hodge and Mr.Scott.they are real christian,real honest people.they were not only did excellent job for me ,but also derate fees as much as they can.i really appreciate what they did for me. i will definitely recommend Laterra&Hodge LLC to all my friends who needs attorny.

Just after the paper was served, my first attorney had already charged me half of the average counseling fees most common Americans would spend, although I admitted part of the bills was to pay the rental of an office in Court Plaza, the fancy building. I was so depressed that when I had questions, I would google myself instead of asking my attorney. Thanks to my attorney, I spent lots of time self-studying NJ divorce laws during that time! Finally I decided to change the attorney. I consulted many, some did not provide free consultations, some was nice to talk on the phone for an hour charging nothing, BUT, all of them told me that the counseling fee for my case would end up to the price of a luxury car because my case was too complicated, and it needs a tremendous amount of time. I was so desperate until the consultation with Mr. Scott Laterra, of whom I found very good reviews on AVVO. Scott explained very patiently to me, and gave me really professional advice. Last but not least, he told me not to worry, my case was simple, which was so true! I was divorced in 3 months after Scott became my attorney. During the 3 months, every time I call the office, Scott or Jeff always answer my questions friendly and professionally. They get to the point. They always think of me, their client, and try to protect me while simplify the case and save my money. The bill was reasonable, that's why I never hesitated to call them if I had questions. I was lucky to have Scott as my attorney. If you do need a divorce attorney, call Laterra & Hodge!

A positive recommendation for Laterra & Hodge is the very least I can do in appreciation of what they have done for me. From the time that I came into the office for an "Free Consultation" Scott Laterra esq. not only made ME - a single-mom/custodial parent in a uphill battle to get a fair chance in the NJ Family Court of Law - feel comfortable during an extremely stressful and taxing time. Unlike many other attorneys I could have selected who would've been content with money, Scott in turn selected me based on my character and desire to do the right thing. This shared value took us all the way to a successful outcome that worked out even better than I could have anticipated. I will be forever grateful for Scott's direction, compassion and dedication to see this process through. At the end of it all - it was all worth it! A special Thanks to you Scott...and Your special Tie :-)

Outstanding law firm!!! Scott and Jeffrey are truly top notch lawyers who are there for you every step of the way. I couldn't be more pleased in the way they handled my case. Their fees are very fair and reasonable and their staff including Valentina their paralegal was wonderful and always very accommodating, reassuring and helpful. If you need a great lawyer, give either Scott or Jeffrey a call. You wont go wrong with either one of them!

Going to family court isn't easy and can be frightening having Mr Scott Laterra help me and made the whole process less scary. He and his firm were terrific. They really care about their clients and they make sure you understand everything you need to know before you leave their office. They made my situation so much easier. I highly recommend them!

Going through a divorce is a difficult time in someone's life and it is very important to have an experienced attorney and I can tell you that Scott Laterra is that person. Scott has been there listening to my needs right from the start and has fought for everything that I had asked for. When things got stressful as they usually do during a divorce Scott was there to calm the situation and make sense of things when you really thought there wasn't a solution. Scott and the whole team at Laterra & Hodge have been so helpful to me that I will forever be grateful to them. If you ever find yourself needing a divorce attorney, and I pray that you don't! I would definitely recommend you give them a call.

Thank God that, I found Lattera & Hodge Team. I found Scott Laterra here on Avvo. It was absolutely the right choice. From the beginning, Scott displayed his complete knowledge of the law and expertise. He is very attentive, good listener; always explain difficult legal issues with patience and insight on how it would impact my case. Majority of lawyers take advantage of the vulnerable situation and will take more unnecessary action to charge more money for the service, you will not see this at Laterra&Hodge. Scott is very ethical in his approach, does not resort to overblown hyperbole, but presents strong, logical arguments that are well received by the courts. Laterra&Hodge has a great team of attorneys including Scott, Jeff, and Sunita as well paralegal Valentina, the most professional person I have ever worked with returned every call or email same day. They treated a difficult, emotional situation with utmost professionalism respect and compassion. I certainly would give them my recommendation.

I found Scott Laterra here on Avvo. And after viewing multiple attorneys' feedbacks, I decided to go with him. It was absloutely the right choice. He is very attentive, good listerner, will hear you and work with you. My content stems from the fact that I was not misguided throughout the process of my divorce. Majority of lawyers take advantage of the vulnerable situation and milk your bank account all out. Well, not this one. My divorce was finalized last week. He even cut me a break on my last invoice. I genuinely think he did deserve the fees I paid given his and his office proficiency. No doubt I'll use him again if I needed a legal advice.

Scott was retained as my attorney for divorce proceedings about five years ago. From the beginning, he displayed his complete knowledge of the law and individual rights. With compassion, he worked with me to steer clear of unnecessary conflicts and expenses. During the entire process, I felt like I was with a trusted friend while receiving excellent advice. He even made himself available for many important discussions well after business hours and on weekends. Since the divorce, Scott has worked diligently to advise me on any issues that have arisen. He helped me to resolve any and all additional concerns in a very timely and professional manner. I am confident in recommending Scott to friends, family and associates for his outstanding legal skills and advice.

Scott has my attorney on a very diificult and emotional case for the past four years. At every turn, Scott has been there for me, able to explain difficult legal issues with patience and insight on how it would impact my case. He and his partnter, Jeff Hodge, ably represented me throughout the process, succesfully arguing many of the important issues to me of the case such as custody of our children. Scott is very ethical in his approach, does not resort to overblown hyperbole, but presents strong, logical arguements that are well recieved by the courts. Scott and his firm are more than fair in their approach to billings and fees, I felt that I was a part of the process throughout the case and they always informed me of the impact to my case. I have referred two of my friends to Scott, who have needed the services of attorney, and write this open recommendation for anyone who wants a smart, ethical lawyer, they would do well having Scott as their counsel.

I retained Scott Laterra in my divorce proceedings in 2014. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney. Scott is great. He is very professional and a great listener. He made sure that everything we were working for was clear and that I understood the outcome. Him and is team are the best at what they do. I would go back to them in a heartbeat.
