Helen and her team are amazing, I highly recommend her!!! Everyone is so helpful, patient and kind! Helen explained everything, helped me with making the best decision and explained why they're the best, always communicate with me and was always there.

We needed a post nuptial agreement before we were able to refi and Helen took the time to explain to me exactly what it entails and the steps her firm would take to complete the document. She was always an email away and was extremely helpful even when the refi team was having trouble knowing what legal terms they needed included. Efficient and knowledgeable. She even followed up a few weeks later to be sure everything worked out for us.

Helen is terrific. She has helped me a few times now and I would highly recommend her.

Helen is an amazing lawyer! From the initial consultation to the final signature, I felt confident and cared for by Helen. She is smart and savvy and excellent in the court room. She handles each and every case with intelligence and knowledge. I would recommend Helen without any reservations. She gets the job done!!

Helen and HD Family Law is the greatest experience I have ever had with a lawyer. Helen is widely knowledgeable and hyper vigorously litigates her cases. If you need a lawyer in this field, stop looking, call Helen and pay her whatever she asks for, you will be very happy you listened to my review.

Before I start, If you’re looking for an aggressive attorney who will fight for you, look no further and hire Phil Petrullo. I have hired multiple attorneys in the past who just collected their cut and didn’t make my problem theirs. Phil Petrullo not only cared about my case but he also fought for me as if he was fighting for himself. He is knowledgeable and an aggressive attorney who will answer you promptly and also keep you up informed every step of the way. He reviewed before every hearing and was more than prepared. I never had to worry or question anything when being represented by Phil because he always made the best decision for me and protected me as his client in any way possible. He cares about his clients and cares about what he does and it shows. Thank you Phil! You really are amazing at what you do! Don’t hesitate and hire Phil Petrullo. You won’t regret it!!!!!

Mr. Petrullo, Toni and the whole staff at this law firm were hands down a great experience to work with. They were professional, responsive and knowledgeable about law and were very empathic towards my situation. I worked with Mr. Petrullo for the majority of my case and this was by far one of the best decisions I made. What a great experience. I would definitely recommend this firm,10 out 10! Thank you.

Highly recommend. This team walked me through the entire custody process and helped me get the best results possible. Mr. Petrullo is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his clients. I appreciated his honesty and would recommend them to anyone.

Phillip Petrullo is a miracle worker. He has saved my family twice now. He is such a great person, it’s like we are talking to a close friend or family member. He always quick to respond (to my 10000 emails) and provide advice. He is honest about everything and makes sure we are aware of all possible outcomes. But most importantly, he wins. We recommend his services to everyone we know.

This is just a fake practise.This is a unfair law firm who are billing me in thousands of dollars for not even one hearing.I had to tell them even before hearing that they stop working on my case because attorney doesn't lift the call and I had to call the receptionist and then I am being billed for calling receptionist in hundreds of dollars just for 2 phone calls and also they are charging me for going to another lawyer as well.I feel my information was also passed on to the opposite party.The attorney also threatened me that he would attend the hearing even after i mentioned to him i don't need his services.He said he will go to court and bill me for that to say he doesn't want to be my attorney.He didn't even listen to my case fully took it up and started billing.

During the past 13 years I have gone through several attorney's before finding Helen. I have been working with Helen for the past 2 years and I am so pleased with everything she has done and continues to do for me. Every aspect is handled professionally and I completely trust that she is on my side and looking out for my best interest and those of my children. An excellent attorney and one that I highly recommend!!!!

Helen Glass was my attorney for my divorce and custody battle. I had been through three attorneys who did not take my case as seriously as Ms. Glass did. My children and I were all abused by my ex-husband who did not heed any court orders and violated all visitation provisions. Helen Glass was always available to me and my children's needs. She took my calls promptly and produced all the legal documentation very professionally. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific lawyer. My children and I were put in good hands. She is also quite experienced in many other areas of the law as well. Could not ask for better!

Helen handled my divorce about 5 years ago which was very complicated. I was very impressed by her negotiating skills as well as her concern for our then pre-teen children. Every curve ball that my ex threw at me, she handled. I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend her and will use her again if need be.

Helen is well respected by her peers and in court. She is very competitive and competent . Helen is really understanding to make sure you take care of your children and play fair. She really fights for what is yours and as a man that's all you can ask of your attorney . Thank you Helen ! Your the Best!

I've used Helen for my divorce and then twice after. She has always been competent, very attentive and compassionate. I highly recommend her.

Terrible ! She didn’t even bother to actually even help me, after thoroughly explaining my case she turned me down with a b.s explanation. everything that came out of Erlina Perez’s mouth was just NEGATIVE, the only positive side of this was that it gave me a chance to find the lawyer I now have, who is more experienced! Thanks but NO thanks Erlina, spend your $$ else where on a lawyer who is actually professional and knowledgeable!

Erlina is one of the best top family lawyers that I can recommend. I've dealt with plenty of lawyers in the past and she's very understanding, very good listener and very persistent when it comes to following up with her clients. I love her professionalism and fast deliverance on any child support services. Back in June 2017 I was dealing with my daughters father not wanting to pay child support after 8 months of brake up. I've decided to contact Erlina in order to help me figure this situation out in terms of child support and child care support, I'm glad that every time we went to court she was very eager and firm on generalizing what's best for the child. She also make sure that the judge hears you , she's also good advising you with what to do and how to proceed in order for you to win the case. I'm very excited to announce that now my daughter's father is paying $202 A week which is being garnished directly from his employer for child support and child care and if it wasn't for Erlina I would of been struggling on making all decisions and child care payments on my daughter's behalf since the father is such unreliable person. I don't regret spending my last dime and savings on Erlina she's WORTH your time and money. Trust me !!!!

I am very satisfied with my lawyer, Erlina Perez. She was well informed and smart. She was also helpful and kind. I would recommend her!

The best lawyer that I have dealt with.

She is a very good lawyer

Pretty terrible experience. Their 1(800) number rang through for two days. It led to a voice recording saying to leave a message and someone would call you back within 30 minutes, which then led to another message that said the inbox was full , "Goodbye" and hung up. Had to call around to several offices before I was able to get a hold of someone who then told me they don't have time for my case so his advice was "call someone else". Ok.

They made this nerve racking experience very easy for me. Made me aware of every email send to court. I am very pleased and grateful. Ml

From a former client: I had been represented by another law firm before finding Aretsky Law Group and previously felt only frustration and disappointment. My experience with Aretsky was reassuring from day one. I was able to speak personally to Eric Aretsky during my first phone inquiry and when I visited the practice from England I felt for the first time that I was in capable and professional hands and no longer an uninformed outsider as the law regarding divorce is not the same as in the U.K. I was assigned to Liz Vengen, whose dedication and work ethic exceeded any expectation I ever had. Liz is so approachable, kind and patient and her commitment to my case gave me the support I needed to follow through and stand up for myself and my entitlements.

Excellent group of attorneys who are experienced and knowledgeable. Easy to work with and made the experience as painless as possible. I would highly recommend them.

I felt very at ease during the whole process with my attorney from Aretsky Law Group. She was accommodating and reassuring and helped me to understand the entire legal process.

I was represented by Seth Parker for my divorce. He did a fantastic job with what I asked him to do. He was always clear, calm and understanding. Seth was also reasonably priced. I give him five stars.

My experience with them was very positive. I would recommend this law group to anyone who needs a great divorce lawyer. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed in the service you will receive. I would especially like to recommend the lawyer who worked with me, Elisha McLaughlin, she was outstanding and worked tirelessly on my case until the very end. This is a great team..

Seth Parker Esq. recently represented me in a personal matter, and I could not be more happy with his work for me. He is a calm, thoughtful and competent professional, and worked diligently, and economically, to make my matter go smoothly and easily. I would recommend him highly to anyone in need of his services.

From my initial intake meeting through every action I've had nothing but positive experiences with the firm. Ms. Moskowitz was a pleasure to meet, but Genevieve was my representing counsel and she was respectful, very reasonable with billing, and a good partner on both strategy and specific actions. I came out trusting her opinions and advice, and would use her again without hesitation. Thank you!

Seth Parker was my attorney and handled my divorce with professionalism and expertise. He is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and patient. I felt confident in court due to his counsel in addressing all of my concerns with care. Divorces are never pretty, but I’m very happy that I picked the best.

Mara is very nice and take care of my deepest concerns. I really appreciate her service.

I worked with Mara Dooskin and as soon as I hired her she did more for my case in 3 hours than a previous lawyer that I terminated did in 20 days. I highly recommend Mara and the Weinberger Law Group.

beware ,they talk a good talk to lure you in , once your in its about the money they really don't care about you .I had to create my own settlement because between my x and my lawyer ,i was broke . After the settlement which my weinberger lawyer read and said "i did a good Job " .I went to see a different lawyer and she said "i would have never let you submit this , you just shot yourself in the foot . After I was done with Weinberger they sent me a bill for another 10,000 , Beware they are nothing but sharks , they suppose to be representing you .

The old saying "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true when dealing with this firm. My attorney (Carmela) is the managing partner in the Hackensack office. Due to that, the cost was a bit more. But worth every penny. She was tenacious, intelligent and most important patient. I know I was not an easy client. Especially being a lawyer myself. Not only was my attorney fantastic, but the whole.office was attentive and professional from the office manager Brian to the receptionist Tillie to the paralegal Denise. A truly great experience in a difficult time . I couldn't have asked for better.

I regret doing business with this law firm. VERY VERY VERY BAD experience. DO NOT do business with them!!!

    The old saying "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true when dealing with this firm. My attorney (Carmela) is the managing partner in the Hackensack office. Due to that, the cost was a bit more. But worth every penny. She was tenacious, intelligent and most important patient. I know I was not an easy client. Especially being a lawyer myself. Not only was my attorney fantastic, but the whole.office was attentive and professional from the office manager Brian to the receptionist Tillie to the paralegal Denise. A truly great experience in a difficult time . I couldn't have asked for better.

I went to Peter when my marriage of 36 years was crumbling my wife had filed for divorce I was to say the least devastated I went to Peter after I had hired the wrong attorney for the divorce Prior to peter and things became a real mess . Peter was from the first day concerned and actually cared he showed tremendous human compassion throughout this whole mess he was not just an attorney to me he was a friend he listened and did not judge and if I had not had him in my life and as my attorney I truly don’t think I would have made it through it I was extremely painful as time went by my wife realized what a nasty mean and zero compassion of her attorney she had hired and realized peter was not the enemy nor was I we just drifted apart the whole time Peter encouraged my wife and I to talk he want us to have great communication not like her attorney trying to put us at odds constantly as time went on peter postponed the final divorce as I asked on several occasions as my wife was now broken shattered as I was she needed more time and peter gave us just that in the end my wife divorced although thanks to peter and his kind words and compassion became better friends than ever we still love and respect each other and all I can say is peter and his wonderful secretary deb were sensational I urge you before you make a mistake hire peter you won’t regret it and he was fair priced it was always a pleasure to pay him a Divorce can be one of the biggest things to face so please I urge you to do it with the best attorney friend and great human being on your side because there are no sides as I learned just a degree of loss with that being said thank you peter from the bottom of my heart and my prior wife feels the same way we will never forget the cad she hired and how peter saved us in so many ways again thanks Peter ????

I can't rave enough about The Law Offices of Peter Van Aulen. From my first initial contact with them I knew instantly that Peter was going to be an excellent lawyer for my case. Not only is he a fantastic lawyer, but he is very understanding, knows how to listen to his clients, and extract those details which make a big difference when dealing with difficult cases. Peter has a mind-set that few people do and I appreciate every effort he has made with my case. My case was very difficult and he was always right on with focus on the right attitude. He faithfully commits to get the job done accurately. I didn't know many law terms until he explained things so easily for me. He's not just some lawyer like many others out there who want to be quick with your case, he takes his time and explains everything before standing in front of a judge. He made me feel comfortable and had a willingness to do what it takes. I highly without a doubt recommend Peter and his team all the way!

Peter is an awesome attorney. First of all, before taking action, Peter would always explain to me the next step of action he was going to take & why he was doing it. He took the time to explain to me very well each & every step of the way so I understood what the ongoing process was & what to expect. There was some tough decisions to make, & very fortunately for me, he was correct every time. He is very confident & knows what he is doing. I am extremely satisfied with his work & will continue to use his services & recommend him to others.

Peter provided legal advice and guidance through a difficult situation. He is knowledgeable, experienced, responsive and understanding. Through my situation I felt I was in trustworthy hands which was a huge relief for me. Thank you Peter for helping me through such a trying time for me. I greatly appreciate it.

5+ Stars Excellent Service. After 7 years of efforts with other divorce lawyers, Peter Van Aulen accomplished what they could not. Extremely Professional and skilled Attorney. An Excellent Attorney and I Highly recommend him to all and anyone who seeks this line of legal representation.

I retained Loren based upon the recommendation of a family friend. She is an extremely professional and results oriented attorney with excellent negotiating skills. Loren is very understanding of the emotional toll that divorces take on her clients and was always very responsive and accessible when I needed to speak with her. She is very compassionate and always provided very sound advice and recommendations that were both cost effective and in the best interest of my family. Loren successfully negotiated a very fair divorce settlement, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. I am very thankful to Loren and her staff for their professionalism, and dedication.

I walked into Ms. LaForge’s office after firing a previously retained lawyer and was feeling very defeated about the prospect of being able to relocate with my son following my divorce. Ms. LaForge instantly put me at ease (she just has that type of demeanor) and assured me that even though it would be a fight, she was positive she could make it happen. And she did. Throughout multiple issues with my exes lawyer, extensions offered to the defendant by the judge, and even a pandemic, she remained steadfast and focused. She NEVER stopped working for me, making me feel as though I was her only client. Every step of the way was communicated and she navigated every hurdle with ease and professionalism. Ms. LaForge is kind, tough, knowledgeable, outspoken, and great at what she does. She is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!

I retained Loren in my divorce from my husband of 17 years. Loren is amazing. She is compassionate, honest, knowledgeable, and tough. She was incredibly responsive at all hours, even late at night and weekends when issues arose with visitation and such. From the day I consulted with her, her no nonsense style is direct and honest. She informed me of my legal rights and what my son and I where entitled to and never stopped fighting for us. Going through such a life changing event it was wonderful having a strong and powerful ally in my corner. She always put my mind at ease that she was in control. She is top notch and I would recommend her highly to anyone in search of a Family Law attorney. Thank you Loren for everything!

I had the privilege of having Loren as my divorce lawyer through a very tough divorce. She was there for me every step of the way. Her friendship, loyalty, knowledge, no-nonsense style and ethics are of the highest standards. I never had to wait long for a response to any question or problem I had and even after my divorce was final I still need her services at times. It is comforting to know I always have her there for me for guidance. Loren is assertive, orally articulate, and has excellent communication skills. I highly recommend Loren!!!

Mrs. Loren LaForge is a top notch experienced lawyer who truly understands family law & knows how to leverage information to best support her client. She has a special place in her heart to support women and mothers. I hired Mrs. LaForge for a post divorce case against my ex husband who is a narcissist & his family who has deep pockets to fight endlessly and ongoing. Mrs. LaForge went to the batting field (she’s a shark!) for me and my children. Her background in psychology is a big bonus. I highly recommend her and would hire her again (hopefully not ????????) if needed.

Laraine has helped me with two home purchases and I am planning on working with her on a home sale. She's done great work and has been fast and responsive. She's also patiently explained confusing sale contracts to me in simple and clear terms. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Schwartz is a wonderful, caring attorney and human being. She was very helpful in explaining things and very patient. I have consulted her in several areas of law: Business, Real Estate and Trust & Estates. I have recommended her to lots of my clients since her fees were very reasonable and my work was done on time. The best part of working with Lorraine was that unlike nearly all other attorneys I have worked with (over 600), she was never nasty, snarky or condescending. Such a pleasure to work with! I recommend her most highly.

Choosing Laraine as our real estate attorney was the best decision we made. She is exceptionally responsive and knowledgeable.

I loved working with Ms. Schwartz !!!!!! She is very professional, Responsive and makes sure everything runs smoothly !!

I had Laraine help with me with my business sale purchase and home purchase at the same time. However, the front team and Laraine made everything easy and stress-free as possible. I felt comfortable with my representation and happy with my outcomes. Thank you
