Outstanding! I'm writing this review only because Its a game changer. I've been in and out of trouble all my life. From Minor innocents to major headaches. That being said, I have dealt with lawyers all my life. I never saw an attorney fight as hard as James......period. I felt like I was being represented by my father,. He made me having prior restraining orders a good thing! Who does that? I even felt good about myself! During this pandemic I had many issues taken care of. Here it goes. Bridgewater, NJ driving suspended, expired registration= $200 fine Sayerville, NJ DWI State Police= Dismissed Mercer County Grand Theft Auto= Dismissed/ Disappear Union County- Assault- Released from jail after being retained for 6 days. In addition had charges dropped to Municipality= Dismissed Expungements in process. Talk about starting off with a clean slate! Thats my life now Thanks to the Law Offices of James A. Abate

Mr. James A. Abate, Esq. is a highly respected criminal and civil defense attorney. Whether he takes your case on as plaintiff or defendant, Mr. Abate represents and guides his clients through the difficult bureaucratic court process in a confidant, compassionate and professional manner. As a criminal defense expert witness, I have seen Mr. Abate’s court expertise in action, and can most certainly confirm and attest to the fact he is superior in his intellect of the law, his knowledge of court procedure jurisprudence is beyond compare. His success rate at achieving the best possible court outcome for his clients is unmatched. Additionally, his office staff, Megan Brault and Ally Fredericks, are knowledgeable, friendly, highly sympathetic, nonjudgmental, accommodating and compassionate to his client’s every needs. I do not make this recommendation lightly. As a retired police officer of 30 years, and now as licensed private investigator, I have consistently observed Mr. Abate go above and beyond his role again and again as an ombudsmen for the innocent, oppressed and wrongly charged clients he so expertly represents.
Review
James is amazing at his profession, he doesn't leave a rock unturned and goes above and beyond what is needed to get results. No matter what day of the week (even Sunday's) there was always someone in his office to answer a phone call. Megan and Ally are truly great people and are on top of their game. Hands down a fantastic law firm that doesn't blow smoke and gets results

I used Robert Dunn for a legal matter I had. Everything was handled professionally, and I ended up with a much better resolution than I thought could be accomplished. I would definitely recommend him.
Review
We contacted Hanlon Dunn Robertson Schwartz at the advice of another lawyer who did not handle our type of case. Our case was not a divorce, but rather of a more serious nature. Robert Schwartz was the consummate professional. He was respectful of our situation and was thorough about outlining all of our potential courses of action, as well as the potential outcomes. He patiently met with us multiple times when we were concerned about the direction of the case, and when we had questions. He was always available by phone and even held phone meetings when necessary. When we would email, he always answered us in a very timely manner. In addition to being fully dedicated to our case, he has an demeanor that puts you at ease -- something much needed during stressful times. He was very knowledgeable and always kept us informed. I would absolutely use his services again, and I recommend him to anyone needing family civil and criminal lawyers.

I first met Gregg years ago when I was facing criminal charges. I was unsure what my outcome would be so I took a chance on Gregg and, man, am I forever grateful I did! He was patient and understanding throughout the entire process. I cannot thank him enough for talking me off the ledge when I would spiral into "what if?"s. With the help of his amazing legal assistant, Colleen (who is just as compassionate and non-judgmental), he will fight to the end for you. Not only is Gregg well-spoken and highly skilled in the courtroom, but he truly is a genuine and honest person. He saved me years of prison time. Now years later, I had a smaller matter and reached out to Gregg for help. He handled my case with the same integrity as before. The end result, again, was the best possible outcome for me. What are you doing still reading my review?? Just hire him already!
Review
Gregg was a beacon of hope for me in a situation of an unjust accusation. He took my case and showed compassion and understanding. His professionalism and expertise gave me peace of mind and the assurance he was the right attorney for my case. Gregg was able to have my case dismissed. I am for forever grateful for his service. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest, reliable and knows the law look no further give him a call you will not be disappointed. Blessings
Review
Greg is very highly skilled and his knowledge of the law showed immensely. Gregg is very professional, straight forward with us and honest with everything. He answers all of our loopy questions too without judging. He also shared and directed us on checking with Immigration lawyer for the possible outcome that means he looked each and every approach. We experienced court for the first time, with a lawyer that truly demonstrated experience and knowledge of the law. We were extremely pleased leaving the courtroom and very grateful we had him by our side. His communication channel is powerful means we got answer immediately every time either through email / phone call. Highly Recommended
Review
The experience during this stressful process that my son went through, the help of Gregg could not come at a better time, his experience with the courts, his confidence as he handled my son's cases made me feel safe and confident throughout the whole process. His professionalism was great, 100% involved in the case, Gregg never delegated the case to another lawyer, he handled the cases himself with the help of his secretary Colleen who by the way was very warm, patient throughout this process. Gregg was very punctual in all appointments never late and showed a great outlay with the court staff and prosecutors. My 19 year old son certainly learned from this lesson and realized that Gregg was right, “that driving is not a luxury but a privilege that not everyone has” and learning to act with maturity for a fruitful and peaceful life. My son finally got his license and planning to join the Army! :) Thank you so much for everything Gregg and Colleen keep working with that same positive attitude and humility that characterizes you. Best Regards, Veronica Naranjo

I recently contacted Chris when I was in crisis and really needed sound legal advice. From our very first conversation, I knew I was in the right hands. Chris gave me great advice, was clear and concise, told me everything up front. I will definitely be using his services again, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.
Review
Christopher and his paralegal, Stephanie, have been a pleasure to work with from day one. Chris took the time to explain the entire process to me and was always a quick phone call away to answer any questions to put my mind at ease. I am happy to say I got the results I wanted and the best possible outcome, and will use his services for any future legal needs. Highly recommended!
Review
Unfortunately I got into a car accident not to long ago and it was my first time ever going through this process. After getting a careless driving ticket, which could have ruined my entire driving history. Chris took care of me and was very on top of my case. He explained everything in great detail and helped me understand everything that was going on. After the entire process I can honestly say that I can drive safely without any points on my license. I appreciate all the effort that Chris and his team have put in to help me with the situation. I highly recommend Chris to represent anyone in need. Thank you guys so much for everything.

I WISH I READ ALL THESE REVIEWS ABOUT THIS LAWYER BEFORE I PAID HIM IN CASH. He is the most unprofessional , unreliable lawyer I know . Please do not use him ... take my foolish advice don't do it ! The moment I paid him in full everything changed .. he stop responding , Stop Calling , Stop giving updates on the case . When he wanted his money he made sure he Harassed me until I paid the full amount. He’s a headache ! A nightmare ! Instead of him keeping me updated on my love ones case I have to keep asking for information , and updates . please go else where . Especially if your a minority ! ( Specifically African American ) Please be ware !

Leon and his team are excellent. They have represented our family a few times and we are very pleased. We would highly recommend them!!
Review
Leon is an absolute rock star attorney. He handled three separate cases (2 of which are 3rd degree felonies) for my son. Two of the cases were dismissed and the 3rd reduced to a simple misdemeanor which only carried a very small fine. In all 3 cases, no record for my son. Right from the first contact he listened carefully and went straight to work. He always responded to our messages and was available to talk to. I don’t know what we would have done without Leon. He and his assistant Megan are very professional and stay on top of the cases. My entire family is so grateful for his help. If you are looking to hire a lawyer, look no further, Leon is your guy.
Review
Leon Matchin and Meghan provided stellar service. I need some assistance for a traffic ticket and they helped me so that I only paid a small fee at the very end. They will answer any questions you have and will make sure you are fully aware of the situation at hand. I could not have asked for better assistance with my case. I know who to call if anything happens to my friends or family. "Knock on wood"
Review
Atty. Leon Matchin is everything you want in a lawyer. He's acessible, efficient, and knows the inside and out of a court and the process of contesting a traffic ticket. He successfully argued a motion of dismissal for a couple of otherwise point-heavy tics of mine and i could not be any more happy. I highly recommend working with Leon????
Review
Leon and Meghan were extremely attentive, responded to all my questions and concern almost immediately. They helped me immensely in taking care of a traffic ticket - there services were beyond my expectations. Leon explains everything and loved the fact that I never felt like he or Meghan were trying to rush me off the phone always spend the appropriate time with me to address all my concerns. All I had to do was pay for their services and they took care of everything literally. Will deff recommend and will come back if needed again. Leon prices are beyond reasonable .

Ryan has helped me out with a few different issues and has been the most professional and helpful attorney I have ever met. He was always looking out for me during the process and is very upfront and helpful with any questions or concerns I had. He always had my best interest in mind and I highly recommend his services

During a time of great distress, Ryan heard my concern, assessed, and called me the next day to accept the case. While working together, Ryan was reliable and consistent with his communication. He always treated me with respect and offered the available options to help me as the client make informed decisions, without making any promise. I'd highly recommend his service to any friend or family member.
Review
A close family member was arrested and charged with a serious felony. At the time of their arrest, they were diagnosed with serious mental illness and went to a cell in the forensic section of the state mental hospital. When their case came up they were transferred to a mental health section of the county jail. Although I was the victim and hoped to get treatment for my relative, the state automatically pressed criminal charges under the state's domestic violence laws. Initially, my relative was defended by a public defender, which was a relief given the cost of hiring a defense attorney. But the public defender was so overworked and overloaded with cases I am surprised he could remember my relative's name. Neither my relative nor anyone else in the family could find out much about how the case was going because the public defender spent so much time in court defending a great pile of case-after-case. Little by little I learned that the prosecution's case was relatively strong. The prosecution piled on every possible charge the prosecutor could imagine, and remained adamant in pressing for maximum, non-concurrent sentences for all charges -- up to 30 years in prison. The public defender conducted negotiations with the prosecutor and was slowly working toward a deal. All my relative had to do was plead-out and they could get off 'light' -- with only eight years in state prison. This seems to be the way law works these days. Forget all about all the lawyer and cop shows you might have seen on tv or in the movies. Very few defendants risk going to trial in our legal system which has become so heavily weighted in favor of the prosecution. I couldn't fault the efforts of the public defender given his situation but I didn't need to learn any more. I started hunting for a private attorney to defend my relative. Finding a good criminal defense attorney is not as easy as I expected. There are many attorneys who practice criminal defense -- for shoplifting or DUI charges -- but relatively few who will practice and are experienced at defending in serious felony cases. My search was further complicated by my relative's mental illness and the state's insistence on treating their case as a criminal case. I feel very fortunate to have found Ryan Gilbert, LLC. He was both experienced with handling criminal cases like my relative's and knowledgeable in the special case law involved in what is called a Krol case -- named for the defendant whose defense case pioneered this area of criminal law. In addition, Ryan Gilbert knew what expert witness to retain to best forward my relative's defense. I believe the testimony of this expert witness together with Ryan Gilbert's patience and expertise was crucial in determining the outcome of this case. There were several difficult personalities Ryan Gilbert had to deal with in handling my relative's case. I remain impressed by his ability to understand and skillfully maneuver through the often delicate relations with these difficult people. Unlike the public defender, it was easy to reach Ryan Gilbert and he was forthcoming and plain spoken about how the case was progressing. Ryan met with state prosecutors in court and in side negotiations for over a year. At the end of this ordeal the state finally recognized that my relative suffered from mental illness and the state's interests would be best served if this relative were placed into the state mental health system as a Krol patient. Mounting a criminal defense requires considerable time and energy in addition to resources like the expert witness Ryan Gilbert obtained to further this case. Hard work, and great skill and expertise deserve adequate compensation. The defense of my relative was neither free nor exorbitant, and worth more than every penny it cost. How much would you value each year in the life of someone you love?

I found myself in quite a situation and Ryan could not have been more helpful in my time of need. Ryan worked tirelessly and did whatever he could to secure for me the best possible outcome. Even when I first called, I never could have imagined having my case resolve as positively as it did. Thank you so much Ryan!
