I highly recommend this firm. I was facing a harassment charge and a CDS charge and, after months of fighting my case, my lawyer was finally able to get the court to dismiss the charges!

I highly recommend this firm. My boyfriend was facing serious charges relating to shoplifting and this firm was able to get the prosecutor to amend to regular theft and get him a conditional dismissal program under which all he needs to do is stay out of trouble and the charges get dismissed. I would hire them again!

I was facing serious municipal theft charges in North Bergen and this firm was able to get it dismissed after the alleged victim continuously failed to appear. I highly recommend this firm for anyone facing municipal charges in Hudson County!

This firm got my case dismissed! I was having issues with my tenant and she filed a harassment case against me. My lawyer was able to get the judge to see that this was delay tactic and dismissed the case! He showed he cared about my case. I highly recommend them!

I was charged with assault and resisting arrest. I was lookin at fins and jail time, but this form was able to get me into a diversionary program where all I have to do is stay out o trouble and the charges get dismissed after a year. I highly recommend them.

The Cobos Law Firm handled my legal matters in a very courteous and professional manner. I was extremely pleased with the entire experience. Mr. Franz Cobos personally represented me in my divorce proceedings.
DETAILS:
As an immigrant and a young woman it was intimidating and emotionally stressful to face my divorce. In brief, I was married for 10 years, had a child, and had custody and alimony issues. I hired Cobos Law Firm based on the following facts:
• local attorney so he has relationship with local judges
• small but professional firm so i don’t pay top dollar for a huge staff
• responsive straight to the point question/answer not just a YES man.
As a young business owner I truly believe in customer service and honesty. We are all here to make money: I get that, but when “shopping around” for the right fit attorney i came to a conclusion that no friend, and no referral will give me any $$ breaks, therefore i did my own research and picked Mr. Cobos based on the reviews i saw online, the fact that he is local, and the fact that he replied to customer reviews on social platforms himself, which showed me that he cares, and he is approachable.
Sure enough when i had my initial appointment he gave me more information than the friends’ attorneys or anybody else i was referred to. Plus his professional services rate was by far lower than the one I was quoted by two other firms. I hired him on the spot and do not regret!
Some key points I wanted to mention for all who are looking to hire a divorce attorney in NJ:
- listen to your attorney and don’t ask stupid questions because you will just waste his time and yours = $$
- do research online about the main steps in the divorce, timing, preparation, lingo
- be cautious of the word “motion” that means additional $$
- read online about the usual steps/phases of any divorce case, it really goes just like that and the sooner you and your spouse can find the mutual ground the more money both of you will save;
try to have a sit down with your spouse to agree at least on something before you hire an attorney or proceed with any cross motions, if you do come up with something write it down, show it to your lawyer, don’t sign anything until then.
- very little changes after ESP panel so make sure or at least try to reach an agreement with your spouse right before that because if you don’t get divorced before or at ESP there will be 3-4 months of wait until another hearing, which means continuous retainer
- record and take pictures with your children every time you are with them, keep text messages from your ex, keep everything on record, it may be helpful later
- do not be afraid to call the cops if situation gets out of hand during the divorce, again it will keep everyone at check
- there is free help and consultations in your own county, do your research but just prepare yourself for a lot of work on your part if you decide to go the free route.
To conclude all of the above: as all of us being extremely busy, and a lot of times having to work overtime just to provide I still highly recommend hiring a professional to handle divorce case. The Cobos Law Firm was a great find for me and I am proud to say that after 10 years of emotional rollercoaster marriage I am now happily divorced!
Thank you Mr. Cobos!

I hired Montell Figgins based on our phone conversation. I was looking for an attorney to represent me for a landlord, tenant issue. I found Mr. Figgins on AAvo.com, which is a lawyer directory. He had good ratings and I decided to give him a call and explain my situation. I knew, after our phone conversation that I wanted his firm to represent me. Sterling, one of his colleagues is the attorney that handled my case..I am very happy with the results and will seek legal counsel from their office in the future.
