I cannot recommend Frank Williams in Pequannock more highly: Frank is incredibly thorough, knowledgable, available, diligent, and honest. Frank has navigated my husband's father's estate issues, created our will, and graciously brokered our extremely messy real estate purchase. Let me begin by saying that we had spent almost a year working with another set of lawyers on my father-in-law's estate, and this lawyer set, a father and son, told us that my father-in-law's estate was the messiest they had ever seen during their combined 65 years' worth of experiencing practicing law. We hemorrhaged money, and nothing was resolved. I finally looked for another lawyer, and Frank came highly recommended. To be clear, the previous set of lawyers had not untangled anything, they had simply sapped money from the estate. Enter Frank. Frank took our two boxes worth of labyrinthian paperwork and turned it into a decipherable path. When I say we presented Frank with a mess, it's like saying that World War II was a bit of a problem; it's a grave understatement. Frank did note that this estate issue was the worst he had ever seen, too, (so we now have heard this from three lawyers), but it was almost like Frank enjoyed the challenge--he sifted through all we handed him, and, what's more, he was available. The previous set of lawyers rarely contacted us let alone answered our phone calls, but Frank picks up his phone. I swear he has my husband in his contacts. After the estate fiasco, my husband and I realized we had to have our own affairs in order. We had been to a lawyer eight years back who was paid for by my husband's company, and it was apparent that whatever agreed upon fee the company and he had negotiated was not something the lawyer preferred. He so obviously didn't care. As a result, we left his office with a ton of questions and really no idea how, or desire to, proceed. But then, after working alongside Frank on my father-in-law's estate for so long, my husband and I asked if he creates wills. He does. Frank is one of those people who you want to invite to out for coffee and listen to talk about whatever it is they're passionate about because their nitty gritty knowledge is just so fascinating. Frank explained everything in a way that made complete sense--and what was especially helpful was how he knows the law thoroughly (e.g. we learned that any money willed to anyone other than a direct descendant is taxed heavily--even someone like a daughter-in-law who would pass it onto the grandchildren who are direct descendants). We felt this huge relief after finishing our will. I didn't even realize that I was deeply concerned about what would happen if we died until the will was complete. It was hard coming up with some of the information (e.g. a backup person to take the kids if the first in line has something happen to them), but it was totally worth the effort and money. The last thing I will say is that Frank is deeply caring. To clarify, I don't mean "caring" in the way one would describe a kindergarten teacher who oozes sweetness, because Frank isn't warm and fuzzy, but Frank's actions denote his character, and that is more substantial than any amount of frail words. Frank, who clearly knows our family quite well at this point in our law-filled journey, took on our contentious real estate deal. It would probably be unwise to go into specifics here, but suffice to say, he helped put things into perspective, gave great advice, and helped us finish the process when we thought all was lost (you know, roughly 100 times because it was all just that bad). Bottom line: I highly recommend Frank. My husband and I are in our young 30s and have three young children, and I would never have guessed that we would need so much legal advice, yet here we are. I am so glad someone once answered my desperate Facebook plea and recommended Frank Williams.

Excellent service. Look no further, this is where you want to go. Pricing is fair and his knowledge is immense. I don’t know what my mom and I would have done without his support. Our case was very complicated and Mr. Frank Williams put our minds and hearts at ease. 10/10

Mr. Rasa was knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation during a very difficult divorce. i would highly recommend him.

Very friendly and professional service, Mr. Rasa was very helpful with my legal needs. I will recommend him to my friends and family.

Joe has been representing me thru a bankruptcy settlement from my Divorce. My case was not so simple and had many turns along the way, and Joe continued to explain everything the whole way. He was very helpful and got me a great deal in the end. Joe really was able to cut out the Nonsense the other side was trying to drag out and just got the job done fast and efficiently. Extremely happy with his knowledge and professionalism. Not that I enjoy having to hire an attorney, but he will always be my first call if I ever need one again.

Mr. Rasa was great! He completed my bankruptcy in a couple of months. He was professional & very knowledgeable. A 14 year debt was fixed in a matter of months. I recommend his services to everyone looking to file for bankruptcy. His staff is as friendly as he is. A+

Outstanding attorney! He is hardworking, dedicated, smart, very thorough, responsive, and always available. He has represented me in multi million dollar deals. He is the only one I use for all my legal needs. I trust him implicitly.

I came with 3 issues to Mr Rasa 1) Get a TRO and eventually a permanent Restraining Order, 2) Civil Assault and Battery, 3) Consult on DV Criminal Case & related matters. I found Mr Rasa's approach for my unique situation, attention to detail, and flexibility compelling over the other attorneys I had interviewed. He prepped me for the trail, handled the defense attorney brilliantly, and was able to get 6 witnesses to testify despite of multiple re-schedules by the judge. I suffered a concussion and PTSD as a result of the assault. I was terrified and anxious, Mr Rasa gave me the confidence to focus on my life and I could trust he had me covered. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. After few court appearances it was clear that he had created a win-win situation for me, I had control over my case and was able to select the best outcome for me. I have access to his cell and his staff is diligent and approachable. He's my attorney for life and I am thankful to have found him.

Our overall experiance using Joseph M Rasa's services were very good. I do wish that they would get back to you in a more timely manner through email. There were times that we would send emails and would not receive our answer and or an email back letting us know they received it for a couple of days.

It was not easy going through my divorce and Joe was able to guide me through the process and make sure I was covered on all angles. He looks out for his clients and keeps you updated on a daily basis. Putting the kids first was my plan from the beginning and Joe was able to do that. He made sure that all my requests were fulfilled during the preparation process. I would highly recommend Joe for any legal assistance because he plans and looks long term for all his clients.

Let me start by saying I don't usually write reviews online. However, I would like to help someone out there in need of guidance, expertise and compassion. Joe is an excellent professional who genuinely cares about the well being of his clients. Divorce is never easy. Especially with children involved. Joe walked me step by step through the process of what has become the most difficult moments of my and my son's life. He not only took his time to truly listen, he reassured me, I was not alone. Today, Joe is still my attorney and has become like family to me. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of an experienced attorney with a heart of gold.
