I have done business with Jose and his firm for over 15 years. They are top notch, thorough, and the best at what they do. I have recommended friends and clients to Jose’s firm, and they all have been very happy , Michael Axelrod Partner at Bleakley Financial Group, Fairfield, NJ

I would highly recommend Bastarrika • Soto for providing marital legal services. I was very selective with choosing the law firm that I wanted to represent me in my divorce and I was so fortunate to have been recommended to Bastarrika•Soto with these services. The firm is extremely responsive, every staff member is compassionate yet professional, and extremely focused on the needs of their clients. From the moment I retained their services to the day my divorce was finalized, I was kept informed of the progress, communication was outstanding and I was well informed with what to expect every step of the way. Thank you Jose and Betsy for your expertise and more importantly, making a very difficult situation one that was more bearable. It was so reassuring to know that I was not alone and you remained very mindful of the details within the divorce decree. Irene Ilic

This firm honestly has the best lawyers in New Jersey. Particularly in the area of Family law, you will receive the best representation at a fair price. Jose Bastarrika is a brilliant attorney that is able to resolve complicated and highly contested matters. He will give you honest legal advice and guidance that is in the best interest of you and your loved ones, he won't lie to you and tell you what you want to hear just to make a buck. He has been in this business for over 20 years and his experience allows him to help you in areas of your family matter that intersect with other fields of law (criminal, real estate, etc). Erin Thompson is also a brilliant and talented attorney that will help you through your case to receive the best outcome. She is extremely caring and a strong advocate for her clients. She represented a family member through a domestic violence trial that was very volatile and difficult to deal with. She was extremely reassuring and understanding of the situation, yet her presence in court was firm and effective. I cannot recommend this firm enough for all your legal matters, but particularly I highly highly recommend Jose and Erin for all your family law needs. Anyone that I know that has an issue I have referred (and will continue to refer) to them. I would give 10 stars if I could!

For 15 years, my family's legal affairs have been handled by Jose Bastarrika. His knowledge, professionalism, sincerity and dedication are unmatched. Jose answers our questions before we ask them, and he and his staff are always available when we need them. Any time we have concerns, Jose is optimistic and reassuring. He is the best advocate and fighter our family could ask for. 5 stars!

I have worked with Jose Bastarrika and this firm for many years on several legal issues, from family matters to other personal and professional concerns. Jose is level-headed, straightforward, and efficient, always sensitive to the many tasks and associated costs that can be consumptive of a client's budget. He's able to deftly negotiate complex legal matters, while at the same time communicating the implications back to me in plain language so I can understand them. I have had consistently positive outcomes and am extremely satisfied.

My experience with this firm has been outstanding. Jose Bastarrika was my divorce attorney in 2012 and I was awarded everything I was seeking. Several years later, I returned to him to represent me in a child custody case as well as other matters and that also turned out in my favor. He is a true professional focused on obtaining the best possible outcome for his clients. He has a great team of paralegals that are patient and kind. I highly recommend them all.

Very helpful and understanding, always available to answer any and all of my questions throughout the process in a prompt manner.

Attorney Jose Bastarrika and his team have been our choice for all our legal needs for over 16 years. We have trusted them with our most critical legal transactions: Real estate, Wills, and the Adoption of our child. We recommend them extensively to friends and family who have also been impressed with their personal attention and knowledge. We would not go anywhere else for our legal needs!

I cannot express in words, how thankful I am for this firm. I had a previous attorney, who I will not name, and I wish everyday that I had gone with Bastarrika from the start. I was referred to them by a friend and so now I am paying it forward to others. Mrs. Thompson knows the system and always gives the right advise. She is caring, sympathetic, but also strong. I did not always want to follow it, but I am very glad I did. If you are in search of an attorney look no further!
