Courtney was super helpful and informative. We had what seemed to be an impossible situation, especially being first time home buyers in the middle of a pandemic, but Courtney and the team took the time to explain and support us every step of the way. Jeremy, Jessica, and Judy were also very helpful. The entire team made my husband and I feel so comfortable and as if we were in good hands. Thank you so much for making this stressful process to easy!

My ex and I could have an uncontested divorce through mediator. The mediator told us the divorce process could be very expensive and we could choose the mediation and get an agreement to divorce. Miklos, however, advocated that the divorce is simple and found all her questionable ways to squeeze money out of her clients. My ex is a simple and sick person (serious depression and think money is not important). Miklos has successfully squeezed around $40,000 out of him while our case still has long way to go. Miklos is a also a dishonest person. She could call me a liar in court while she knew absolutely nothing about the event occurred. She is an old lady pretending to be nice. Watch your wallet. Don't be fooled by her! I am reporting her to NEW JERSEY ATTORNEY ETHICS

Sotiria Makrogiannis is tough as nails, which is the type of attorney you need during what can be the most difficult time of your life. She represented me in my divorce and found a way to stand up for my rights when I was feeling too guilty, miserable and exhausted to fight back. I was ready to throw in the towel and quit. Thanks to Sotiria's strength and good counsel, I was able to go a few more rounds and the results were much better than they would have been if I had a less zealous attorney.

My gratitude and appreciation towards Sotiria Makrogiannis will be something that will accompany for the rest of my life. Sotiria is not only an experienced attorney but most importantly she is ethical, confident, dynamic, honest, and supportive. She is what I call a "Super Lawyer". She was always available and quickly replied to my emails, supporting me in every way. Thank you for supporting me through this difficult time and thank you for giving me the best results for my children and myself. You have made a difference in our lives! Thank you!

I highly, highly recommend the law firm Bielan, Miklos & Makrogiannis, PC to assist with your family law needs. Going through my divorce was an extremely difficult experience. With the expert guidance of Sotiria Makrogiannis, I made it through and learned a lot along the way. Sotiria was absolutely wonderful. She was always there for me from day one, quick to reply to emails, and up front about how the process works. She's incredibly fair. I value my relationship with Sotiria and admire the person and attorney she is. She is strong, driven, honest and extremely experienced in family law. When I look back on my divorce, I feel grateful that I was represented by Sotiria and would retain her again without hesitation. Thank you, Sot, for everything.

You would think going with a major law firm would be more beneficial but it is not with Weinberger. My attorney did not explain what I'm entitled to and she gave me no guidance throughout the process. She told me things that were not true and when I confronted her about it she she ignored my concern about it. Towards the end of my divorce process Weinberger switched my attorney which is fine but then when I asked a few questions about the documents my previous attorney wrote up I was informed I would have to pay more money for my new attorney to look into it because she didn't write up the document but if I still had the original attorney working on my case it wouldn't cost me anything. Even though it is not my fault I still would have to pay according to them. It also took this law firm a full year after my divorce was finalized to change the deed of the house. They blamed it in Covid but what they didn't know is I was in touch with the county clerks office and Weinberger kept screwing up the paperwork and not paying the right amount to finalize the paperwork. I don't recommend this law firm at all.

Lost all faith in lawyers after this. Like I can't believe people get paid so much money on the misfortune of others. They don't truly care for their clients and will milk you for your last dollar.

The experience and professionalism that Richard Outhwaite brings with him to the courtroom is amazing. From the initial conversation, I knew my family was in the best of hands. We are grateful and highly recommend his team.

My experience with the attorney Veronica was excellent. Very professional, quick with her responses and guidance.

Very professional & prompt with responses. Thank you for all of your help and guidance during my extended COVID divorce process

I called Bruce Gudin in regards to a landlord tenant issue. Me being the tenant. He gave me legal advice that left me more confident about my situation. I highly recommend contacting this firm. Also I didn't have to wait for a response or have to email anyone to get in contact with me.

Bruce Gudin was as thorough and efficient as he could be, especially in such a nontraditional setting. We spoke through emails and phone, yet he completely understood my concerns and questions, providing me exactly what I needed to know about my rights as a tenant and that my lease is indeed binding despite my landlord being a flip company that considers me nothing more than a barnacle to them that faithfully pays the rent on time and in full every month via certified mail. You only get one chance to make a first impression, so thank you, Bruce!

I reached out to Mr. Bruce E. Gudin Esq. Through email. I found an article that helped me better understand the Landlord Security Deposit rules in NJ. I reached out to him and he was pleasant, honest, and most importantly very quick to respond. His responses were concise and informative and prepared me to make the best decision in my situation.

I am a property investor and I had questions about collecting during this pandemic and about adding a legal unit to my property. I spoke with Derek Reed on the phone today and he was professional and incredibly informative. I will certainly use their services in the future.

This law firm is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I contacted them for advice on a collections case. They reviewed my case, answered all my questions, and provided excellent advice and strategy to move forward with my case. I knew I was in good hands with Mr. Gudin and his team. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case. Highly recommend this firm for all your law necessities.

Finding a great attorney can be challenging, especially when part of your search relies on on-line reviews. During our search, I made several phone calls to various attorneys, but Mr. Vito Brunetti was the only one willing to spend time answering questions regarding the adoption of my (step)son. He gave me and my wife a level of comfort that we could not find with other attorneys. We hired him and never looked back. Mr. Brunetti was thorough and attentive, keeping us informed every step of the way. His professionalism was on display every time we reached out with “just one more” question and our calls and emails were always answered in a timely manner. Without any hesitation, I would strongly recommend Mr. Brunetti to anyone that has a family matter that needs legal counsel. I will always be grateful to Mr. Brunetti for making the adoption of my son possible!

I can't recommend divorce attorney Vito Brunetti to anyone who is seeking marriage divorce. The attorney doesn't listen to their clients. Instead, he narrates well rehearsed narratives over the phone to fill in the 30 minute intervals and you can't even ask a question. He is rude, unprofessional and can't distinguish K-1 Schedule from 1099 on income taxes. I've lost time and thousands of dollars by working with him and had to find another attorney to continue with my case.

Thank you Vito for getting my case to a successful resolution! I can recommend Vito to anyone looking for a divorce or other family law issue in the Hudson Country. With Vito's attention to details all the Ts would be crossed, all the Is would be dotted and things would go forward in a timely predictable manner.

Vito helped me through every step of a very tough time in my life. Vito is honest, accessible, knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. He listens to his clients and will fight tenaciously on your behalf. I highly recommend Vito if you find yourself in need of a family attorney.

When I was looking for a lawyer for my extremely complicated divorce and meeting with tons of them to see who would be the best fit, Vito was the first one to give me actual advice during my free consultation. Repeatedly he said "even if I don't represent you, you should do a...b...and c.." This was my first sign that I would be in good hands. During my very lengthy divorce Vito has shown himself to be a true champion for my daughter and I. He has been honest, professional, and caring during one of the most traumatic times of my life. He has repeatedly helped me cut down on his legal costs and given me compassion during my darkest hours. As my divorce finalized he was honest and let me know this would not be the last of our time in court. He was not only right, but has continued to fight for me and my daughter as this has evolved into a custody dispute. I am forever grateful for his support and advice on our ongoing case, and at no point have I ever felt he wasn't fighting for us. He genuinely has our best interest in his heart, and I would, and have, recommended him to anyone who is having a difficult divorce that requires more than just a person to file motions. Thank you Mr. Brunetti, as I continue to work with you I'm amazed at your dedication and knowledge and my daughter and I are safer because of you.

    I highly recommend Mr. Artusa when you need a lawyer in New Jersey. He helped me with 5 different cases over the years and I knew I could count on him and that I knew he would not seek the easy way out of a case but what was best for me. Whenever I wanted to see him, he set a time for me sometimes the same day sometimes within a few days. He really helped me during tough times and I will never forget it. He was real, blunt, honest and realistic. He knows what he is doing and cares.

    I hired Artusa Law firm for my mediation divorce case. I was extremely pleased with the process as well as the result. Santo Artusa as a mediator was professional, patient and fair. He understood the sensitivity in the divorce case, and he was able to deliver the professionalism to achieve the ultimate result that made the breaking couple happy. I highly recommend his service. UPDATE: I previously gave Santo a good review for his services. However, due to his sloppy work and the poor wording in our settlement agreement, we needed to return to him for clarification. Instead of providing clarification, he requested for information and charged us for it. During this phone call, he provide no feedback, show no responsibility or care for his work. Instead he asked us to send him more information and then have 2nd call with him, to which he would charge us. In the meantime, he provided no feedback to the information we sent him. He also blew off our 2nd phone call and never followed up to reschedule. When we finally got the 2nd phone call scheduled, he was no show, again! I am NOT pleased with this service especially it has affected our deadlines, and we wasted our time and money. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIS SERVICE TO ANYONE.

    Update: Santo is a people person. He truly cares about the satisfaction of his customers. Santo handled my divorce proceedings years ago and despite the lack of attention given to my case by the judge Santo agreed to continue to guide and support me through filing a motion for sole custody of my daughter. Now years later I consulted with Santo regarding an unrelated legal matter and he immediately contacted me personally, listened to the details of my case, and considered my history as a past client as his fees are competitive but well worth it. I appreciate Santo's genuine nature and willingness to help and highly recommend.

    I highly recommend the Artusa Law Firm for legal issues in Jersey City and NJ. Mr. Artusa was diligent and creative in my divorce case and later on helped me in a personal injury matter. I am glad we met and that I chose him. Thanks again!!!

    I was and am very happy with the work, care and attention I received in my child custody case from Mr. Artusa. I recommend the Artusa team.

      I highly recommend Mr. Artusa when you need a lawyer in New Jersey. He helped me with 5 different cases over the years and I knew I could count on him and that I knew he would not seek the easy way out of a case but what was best for me. Whenever I wanted to see him, he set a time for me sometimes the same day sometimes within a few days. He really helped me during tough times and I will never forget it.

    Freeman Law Center representatives support was invaluable during a highly competitive and intense litigation process. The team of Freeman Law Center guidance kept me center during an emotional period. Mr. Brown was open with me so my expectations were realistic. I appreciated this, throughout the case, although it was hard. Mr. Brown was able to litigate an outcome which proved fair for all interested parties. Thank you Freeman Law Center.

    The ultimate measure of how a business is doing is when you refer your family and friends. I refer both. Nuff said. Mark

    I am forever grateful to Steven Sico. Throughout the years, both professionally and personally Steve has delivered for me time and time again. More recently, when I needed him the most he had my back and came through in a big way. With a calming confidence, he told me not to worry, assured me that he would take care of everything and he most certainly did. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He always treated me more like a friend than a client and fought for me on that same level. Thank you to Steve and Connie in the office for all your help.

    Both Steven and Connie are such amazing people. Connie answered every call and made sure I was aware of everything going on right away. Steven definitely knows what he is doing! He has many years experience and after a very complicated custody battle that my family saw no peace in the distant future, Steven gave that to us. He was on top of everything and I barely had to say anything during our case. They truly empathize with their clients and make sure you are confident going into those battles.

    I am writing this because I was once in your shoes. Researching a lawyer that made me feel like I could breathe again. Reading reviews and thinking “okay is this individual the right one.” Mr. Sico who I now call Steve was referred to me by another attorney who advised me “your case is above my head.” I called Steve and immediately felt relief. I remember saying this is the one. Steve picked up on things that no other attorney found, he asked questions and provided paths that no one else recommended. I was in a dark place, my world was completely upside down. Unbeknownst to me, I was involved in a “flip home” with con-artists who purposely left me holding the bag. When Steve found out how low I was in my life, he immediately protected me. I cried in his office the first time I met him in person, I was completely broken. He told to “enjoy the weekend and don’t even think about this situation.” I was in shock because for months this was all I thought about. Let me tell you, I enjoyed my weekend for the first time in a long time. Steve and Connie both checked in on me regularly, not as client, as a friend. He truly cares about his clients and he fights for them. He would contact me with information and I would listen to him, trusting his guidance. I remember one proposed deal and I wasn’t completely happy but I said to myself “okay, we have to do this.” Steve knew I wasn’t completely happy. And I now know Steve wasn’t happy with it either. Steve never expressed this to me, he just fought. A few weeks later he called me and told me the new deal, the one we originally wanted. I wanted to hug him through the phone (even in a covid pandemic). All he said to me was “Valerie, enjoy your weekend.” Heck my weekend, MY LIFE. I was originally going to wait to write this review until the case was done. Although I know I don’t need to because he will fight for the outcome I deserve. I trust him that much. In closing I want to express if you are reading this and you are also in that dark place, CALL STEVE. I’ve been there, scared and innocent, with no direction because nothing prepped me for this type of evil. I hope this review reaches you because this truly is the review I needed to see a year ago. I can’t thank Steve enough, he saved my life. I also can’t leave out Connie, because that sweet soul still checks on me.

    From day one Steve reassured us that he was on top of things. He was informative & patient with us. He gave us one on one attention, I never felt like we were just another client. All I can say is that I felt protected knowing that he was handling matters for us.

    Getting to Sico is quite easy. I simply booked an appointment online and the next day, I found him waiting for me. He is a very humble guy compared to most lawyers that I interacted with in the past.
