Michael has successfully guided me through a year-long struggle with my former spouse. He met and matched each new salvo thrown against us efficiently and effectively. His approach is calm and professional; if you want a screamer, don't hire him. If you want a pure professional, call Michael. I am a lawyer and a harsh critic. He is very good.

Michael was smart, knowledge and thoughtful, meaning: he really listened and thought, and applied his knowledge to my unique situation. He was pleasant to speak with and he didn't rush me out or seem distracted. All the qualities I want in an attorney. He quoted recent case law which showed that he's current and engaged.

I would highly recommend Michael DeTommaso. Michael represented me in a very contentious 4-year divorce. He always told it like it was and never pulled any punches. His knowledge of all forms of matrimonial law is amazing. He was always able to answer any questions that I had and always counseled me when I was unsure of what decision to make. He worked hard and never dropped the ball in 4 years of litigation. The outcome of my divorce was better than I ever would have expected. I would highly recommend hiring Michael if you are looking for someone to fight for you whether you are the plaintiff or defendant in the case.

If you are looking for an attorney who is no-nonsense and to the point (as I am myself), Michael is your guy. He tells it like it is and he knows his stuff. I went to him needing advice on a post-divorce matter. His information and sound legal advice was indispensable. He was able to give me the understanding I needed to make decisions that were of extreme importance. Because of his input, I had confidence in the standing of my case and was able to argue my point successfully. Also, he was respectful of my time and didn't fluff his bill by adding unnecessary time. He was to the point and while some may find this blunt - it was exactly what I wanted and needed - no BS! I trust Michael and, if the need should arise, I would recommend him to my closest family and friends knowing that they are in good hands.

Michael is representing me in my divorce. He responds to all my calls promptly and takes decisive and tough action as needed. He filed my divorce complaint within 2 days when circumstances changed.

Michael went above and beyond to expedite my divorce. He explained every step, was always available, quickly responded, and assisted me during an incredibly difficult time. His in-depth knowledge of the laws and proceedings was evident at every step. Sue from Michael's office was also incredibly helpful in processing my documents and available if I needed anything. I cannot thank Michael and Sue enough for all they did for me. Thank you!!

I am very grateful to Michael DeTommaso of the DeTommaso Law group for representing me during my recent divorce. My divorce was a life-changing event for me and it required that I hire a highly skilled and competent family law attorney to see me through it. The divorce was difficult and complicated. Aside from the emotional turmoil, there were so many consequential financial variables that could potentially affect me for the rest of my life and which only a skilled family law attorney could sort out. I had dealt with attorneys before for various legal matters such as real estate transactions, wills, estate planning, etc. But, this was different. I needed a lawyer who understood my case and who was willing to justly fight for me and my rights. The process, at times, was daunting. It seemed as though almost every day something new and convoluted developed. Michael took control of my case with conviction and assertiveness. I felt his dedication whenever I communicated with him. And, it was easy to communicate with Michael. He always responded promptly to my emails and telephone calls. He took the time and care to share his thoughts with me about the case, outline the legal strategy moving forward, and explain and clarify the possible outcomes. It was reassuring and comforting to know that he was on my side, every step of the way. Choosing the right family law attorney can have a huge impact on your case and your life. I know because I experienced it. I sincerely recommend Michael DeTommaso.

I was facing an intractable case that had languished for over a decade. During that time, I had come to expect very little from the family court system in NJ and as such had a very low expectation regarding my most recent court battle. Mike's tireless efforts and advocacy on my behalf have started me on a new and hopeful path. He has done what no one else has been able to accomplish. Most importantly, because he knows the family court system he has ensured that many of the bureaucratic trappings will be avoided and will not derail forward progress. I am thrilled with the outcome that Mike was able to achieve on my behalf! Mike took a highly focused approach with me; from case review to strategy and tactics, Mike kept me informed and apprised of all activities, what to expect and all outcomes. The successes that Mike gains on behalf of people like me truly make a difference in people's lives. I would highly recommend his firm!

“Merciless, yet tactful"… Mr. Michael DeTommaso represented me to gain full custody of my son and a motion for order to enforce litigant's rights, both were a win/win! I went to Mr. DeTommaso because he came highly recommended by his fellow peers as being aggressive/merciless to get the job done, yet tactful to use the "strong arm" only when needed. Michael's "no nonsense" presentation of the motions gave me an obvious advantage going into court and superb conclusion before the Judge! "You'll want this guy on YOUR side!" ... Dave K‏.

Mike DeTommaso has been representing me for over 6 years in a very contentious and complex divorce. Mike’s depth of knowledge in all facets of matrimonial law is superb. Whether it is custody issues, financial matters, child support, or relocating out of state, Mike has been exceptional. Mike’s professionalism and attention to detail has been outstanding. I always appreciate Mike’s promptness in responding to any questions or comments I put forth to him. He is right-to-the-point, clear and concise. I could not be happier with Mike’s legal services. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

There is a major hospital that advertises, "where you go first makes all the difference in the world." The very same can be said about the attorney you select in a divorce. I was fortunate to meet Michael Detommaso during a very challenging time in my life. I was thrust into an extremely contentious divorce that I was unprepared for. My ex had significantly greater family financial resources that I had, and I feared that I would lose my children and my financial independence. My fears were alleviated after meeting Michael Detommasso. He explained the process and gave me realistic expectations. During my divorce, Michael controlled the process and thoroughly dominated the adversarial attorneys. The result was a very favorable custodial and financial outcome, which has allowed me to move on personally and professionally. I have never been happier and I owe that to Michael. Please keep in mind that Michael is among the very few attorneys certified in divorce. He is a specialist. And if you want to to control your future after a divorce, then I strongly encourage you to engage Michael as I did. I have referred Michael to both men and women, and all have had outstanding results.
