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

The entire experience with this firm was extremely responsive to an urgent matter. I was extremely impressed with their expertise in the area which I need legal representation immediately. I am fully confident that the legal team with the Williams Group was more than the perfect decision. This was after speaking with them for a short time and felt my case was important to warrant immediate attention. I highly recommend to utilize the expertise of this legal team if you are looking for representation with any concern a lawyer may be needed. Legal counsel for a family matter I would certainly suggest calling the Williams Group. Judith Miller and Jamie, were empathic and showed a true sense of urgency They appointed Sean O'Connor Esq. to take our issue within less than a few hours. We are looking forward to their support to resolve and assist us with our legal matter. Thank you in advance to the Williams Group.

I reached out to this Firm during an emotional time while dealing with a domestic violence situation. They were attentive, caring, and professional and made sure everything was taken care of. I was assigned to attorney Sean O’Connor who honestly gave me the hard truths that I needed to hear and provided thorough, excellent representation to me and got the job done. I would definitely recommend them to others who need them.

I am currently working with Ms. Madziar and going through a very complicated divorce. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She has been on top of every detail from day one!! Her professional expertise all while showing an extreme amount of kindness and compassion has made going through an enormously difficult process so much less painful for me and has giving me the confidence I need to know that everything will work out. She has left no stone unturned!! Thank you to the Williams Law Group for setting me up with such a wonderful and capable attorney!! Michele C.

I've spoken to several law firms including an in-person consultation prior to covid. Judith was professional, courteous, she took her time explaining how their law firm works, who I would potentially work with on my case and the fees. Most importantly, I never once felt judged (my case involves DCPP, Domestic Violence & other issues) or that she wasnt willing to provide information until I made arrangements to hire their firm. Based on that alone I would recommend seriously considering the Williams Law Group.

She was very professional and answered all my questions. Thank you so much for your time. I will contact you soon.

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.

      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.

        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.

      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.
