    Douglas is an amazing attorney from his capabilities in the court room to building trust and rapport. He is a family man who does not discriminate against anyone and provides a full breakdown of everything you will need to stay calm and collected through such a scary/ stressful process. I love the reliable communication from Katherine as well. I highly recommend this firm and want to thank you for helping me throughout my case.

    I highly recommend Douglas Herring. I got a criminal case for the first time and of course was scared out of my mind. Mr Herring and the rest of the team eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, Douglas Herring is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything!!

    I am thankful for having had Doug's representation. Doug was the first time I ever sought counsel for myself and after doing some research and reaching out to several lawyers I am glad I chose him. Doug was the first lawyer to get back to me and he was very helpful, diligent and responsive from day 1. Doug gives a good name to the lawyer profession and works hard for his clients.

    I was so scared when I was charged with a crime. Douglas made me calm and explained the charge and the court system. He gave me his cell number and he was always ready to answer any concern, even at night and weekends. We got the best possible outcome because he knew the right law. I highly recommend hiring him if you are charged with a serious crime.

    Doug is a brilliant lawyer and his courtroom demeanor, virtual or not, is IMPRESSIVE. Doug is one of the best communicators that I have dealt with. He was able to go above and beyond my expectations and dealt my case in a truly professiona; manner. He didn’t try to break the bank but still gave you the best service. Doug you are the best!! Doug was better then I could have asked for and so we’re the results. He reminded me of court dates and walked me through everything step by step which made things very easy for me. I would recommend Doug to anyone who wants a professional and responsive lawyer. VICTORY!!! My life changed because I chose the right person to manage my needs. If ever anyone is looking for best DUI attorney in New Jersey, look no further. DOUG is one stop for your case and I am sure you are on the winning side. I would definitely recommend Doug to anyone for their traffic violations or DUI needs. Thank you Doug..

    Mark is the best attorney in Burlington County, He is incredibly knowledgeable, and takes the fear out of going into legal situations. More than once he has beaten the odds, simply by articulating the truth.

    Mark is a brilliant attorney. He really helped me deal with a very difficult situation and was spot on with his advice. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone with a complex case.

    Mark represented me in 2010 on a criminal case. His prices were very reasonable and he exceeded my expectations with his intelligence and experience when we reached the week of a highly emotional trial. I was found NOT guilty on ALL charges, with Mark literally saving my life and future. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

    The reason I have a clean record today after a messy situation!

    Must read! I found Michele by Googling attorney's in the area and the reviews did not disappoint! From my first call I made to her office, I felt a sigh of relief. Michele contacted me later that day; after I had spoken to her office manager, and told me she understood my case. She explained what the next steps were if I wanted her to represent me in court and from there I proceeded. Before I knew it I had a court date and all I needed to do was just follow her instructions. I am so glad I contacted her law office! With her expertise and guidance she got me the best possible outcome. I am so grateful she was able to help me. I definitely recommend Michele Finizio as your attorney because she is worth every penny. If I ever have another legal matter I will be contacting her. Thank you so very much Law Offices of Michele Finizio and Team. ????

    Received a speeding ticket and called many different lawyers. Most other lawyers were charging 3x the amount Michele was charging. Michele made the process so quick and easy. In court, we had a very favorable outcome. Overall, great experience. She is very responsive and professional. If you have any anxiety over a speeding ticket, call her!

    Michelle is absolutely amazing. I remember searching for different lawyers to handle my case but something told me pick her and I went with my gut feeling. I was getting some pretty big things thrown at me and I was scared, nervous and depressed. She kept reassuring me through an entire 4 month wait due to COVID and courts being backed up that things will work it’s way out and to not even think about it. She was caring and I really appreciated that. She got all my charges dismissed. After I had my hearing she had her assistant call and tell me to not worrying about any payments here on out. I literally cried because I’ve been picking up hours at work paying weekly. I remember I seen a review saying she is all about money on another website and that’s false. Michelle called me later that evening telling me how she knows I’m a mom of 4 that she rather I spend my money on the kids then pay any more to her. I still had a good amount to pay off and she refused to let me pay any more. Michelle if your seeing this thank you so much. Your kindness was truly unmatched.

    All I can say is thank God for Michelle. I was battling some legal issues and she assured me that everything would be fine, with her many years of experience and knowledge everything turned out exactly how she said they would. I must admit I drove her crazy but she stood by me every step of the way. Even after the case she still made herself available to answer whatever questions I had. Thank you Michelle!!!

    Literally called to ask a simple question and the lady sounded like she was putting on a pot of coffee and laughed at me. Our conversation went from “no lawyer handles parking tickets” (which is false) to “I don’t know anything about that”. If it’s not your area of law then just say that. Anyone looking for an answer about whether something is legal or asking for help isn’t calling to be laughed at. I’m glad reviews exist.

    Never had to hire an attorney before but after an embarrassing DUI arrest needed one fast and Steve was recommended by a lawyer cousin of mine. Going through the worst experience of my life Steve always made me feel like I made a mistake but we will get through it. He never made me feel like it was a hopeless case. It took extra time due to covid but received minimum sentence and for 2 months post sentence Steve continued to point me toward the right people regarding my license restoral. Could nor recommend an attorney more highly then Steve. He treats you with respect throughout the process and can not thank him enough for his help and guidance.

    Most people will tell you that lawyers have no heart and only care about the bottom line, for most lawyers this is true. But that would not be the case for Mr. Piper, his interest is in making the most prudent decision that will make the best of whatever the situation may be at a fair price. He is direct and will do his best to get the best outcome given the situation for his client. He worked on multiple cases of mine regarding custody and more. Custody battles can be a daunting process, and Mr. Piper got us through it in a fair, just, and decisive measure. So if you are looking for a good human and attorney he is definitely your man! Highly recommend him to my family and friends.

    Very responsive and attentive. Addressed all my concerns. Helped to get a ruling in my favor that no other attorney has been able to get in 3 years.

    Hey guys, I had a typical military divorce and the LAST thing you want to worry about, is all that legal and administrative Jazz. Mr. Stephen represented me with professionalism and tact. Quick and easy and never been happier. You won’t be disappointed.

    A good guy that can help you when you need a lawyer

    My daughter has used Christopher Baxter, this is her experience with him: I was facing a DUI charge and several other tickets from the accident, including leaving the scene of the accident. Chris not only went above and beyond to find every little detail of my case. He spent his time going through to find possible mistakes to help my side of the case and was very persistent to receive all the documentation from the police. He truly cares about his clients he will go back to court as much as needed to help get the best end result. I blew a 0.19 and from his attention to detail my reading was thrown out. He puts in his time and dedication to your case, he truly cares and wants to best end result for his clients. He is worth every penny if you are looking for a lawyer who is going to put his time, dedication and all into the case. I would recommend him to anyone no matter the circumstances of your case. I was facing serious charges and received reckless driving and a loss of license for 6 months. This would of not been my end result if it was not for Chris fight and determination. I highly recommend Christopher Baxter for any case you are facing. He is what you want in a lawyer and will fight for you.

    Never did I think I would be in the position to need to hire an attorney for a situation like this, but I was. I was so unsure of how to go about choosing a lawyer. I spoke with 3 people prior to talking with Christopher. They were brief phone conversations, just a few questions, and mostly about the penalties I was facing. There was one that I was considering. Then my phone rang...it was Christopher. I now had other experiences to compare with. He was amazing. We had a great conversation. He took his time with me and asked a lot of questions. He seemed to want to know the whole story not just the charges I was facing. I left that conversation with no doubt in mind I wasn't looking any further and that I was going to go with him. He was honest with me and definitely had my best interest in mind. When we finally met he made me feel at ease. (Which to be honest is a hard thing in this situation) In the end, he went to bat for me and we (in my eyes) won! I believe that without him and his dedication to me and my case that I would of faced life changing fines and permanent things on my record. I could of went with a cheap lawyer but I would of paid 2x as much to have him fighting for me. So Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You truly were a blessing.

    Chris was extremely knowledgeable and stream-lined my case from the moment I reached out. His professional demeanor helped to manage any anxiety that I was experiencing. I would refer anyone to Chris who needs a top of the line, criminal defense lawyer.

    Chris handled my case professionally, and with great attention to detail. The outcome achieved exceeded my expectations. Recommended!

    I would definitely recommend Chris to represent you! Very happy with the results achieved.

      My daughter has used Christopher Baxter, this is her experience with him: I was facing a DUI charge and several other tickets from the accident, including leaving the scene of the accident. Chris not only went above and beyond to find every little detail of my case. He spent his time going through to find possible mistakes to help my side of the case and was very persistent to receive all the documentation from the police. He truly cares about his clients he will go back to court as much as needed to help get the best end result. I blew a 0.19 and from his attention to detail my reading was thrown out. He puts in his time and dedication to your case, he truly cares and wants to best end result for his clients. He is worth every penny if you are looking for a lawyer who is going to put his time, dedication and all into the case. I would recommend him to anyone no matter the circumstances of your case.

    Leon and his team are excellent. They have represented our family a few times and we are very pleased. We would highly recommend them!!

    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.

    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"

    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????

    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.

    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?

    Nice place

    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!
