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 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 stumbled online on this law firm to get a representation to remove the condition on my greencard after my divorce. This is by far the best law firm everyone can wish for. Not only are they nice and patient but also very transparent about the case which I really appreciated. I was always kept up to date on how the case was going. About one year later my difficult case was approved. I will recommend this law firm to all my friends and family. I’m sure will be back for any future immigration matter that might comes my way!

      The staff at this office are very helpful and patient. They made my legal matter painless and were efficient in carrying out all of my requests. They are local and I will be recommending them to everyone in Edison. Thank you again!

      Very professional, nice, and honest. Open about the case and what to expect. Kind and punctual staff.

      The attorneys at this office were extremely proficient in handling my case and taking the stress off my hands. My initial consultation was FREE!!! Any time I had questions regarding updates, I sent them emails and received prompt responses. I want to thank this office for the efficiency and integrity of their work.

      So I had a complicated divorce and immigration case. I cannot tell you the professionalism Omar and Shahab showed in my case. My case began in early 2018. After a messy divorce and lengthy immigration process, I finally got what I was entitled to from the marriage and got my permanent ten year green card. Hand down the best lawyers in town!!! Sincerely, A VERY SATISFIED CLIENT =)

      It’s been over a year since my divorce and I’m finally ready to write an honest review. I transferred my case to Bobby Epstein (Robert), after my initial lawyer mishandled my case. I had no clue how to get a divorce and I was shocked at how I suddenly felt like I found my personal advocate. He was up against older, established lawyers in Bergen county. His professionalism, expertise, creativity, patience, guidance, respect & ACCESSIBILITY were unmatched. He is well respected by his peers and judges in Bergen County. (I had the opportunity to observe his interactions during “downtime” in court.) He personally handled my case from beginning to end. (My previous firm pawned me off and I felt completely alone and overwhelmed. I could not reach her when an emergency situation came up. I was terrified but thought this is how it works, I guess- until I found Bobby from a friend who had used him.) Bobby truly cares. You are not “just a case”. He is not a “shark” by nature but the teeth come out when necessary. In fact, he is a likeable and compassionate human being who truly wants to help you get out of your marriage as quickly as possible with optimal results for his clients. His knowledge and passion for the law supersedes any ego that seems to hinder many lawyers from providing the quality service of advocacy you deserve (and spending so much money to receive!) Although Bobby is modest by nature he is secure & confident in his knowledge of the law to achieve the best result possible. He is extremely “quick” on his feet, which made me feel confident during mediation & court proceedings. The difficult personalities he encounters on a daily basis do not ruffle his feathers. He was cool as a cucumber yet attentive to my stress and anxieties. He was relentless in his pursuit to achieve the best results possible in the most timely fashion. My divorce took less than a year. MOST IMPORTANTLY, he will personally respond to your calls or emails ASAP!!!!! Thank Gd!!! Hire Bobby Epstein and don’t look back.

      I endorse the legal services of Robert "Bobby" Epstein 100%. I am not a friend, classmate, prior acquaintance, neighbor or relative. This is not a paid or fake Internet recommendation. I researched qualified knowledgeable attorneys and asked Bobby to represent me in a complicated matter. Bobby took my case seriously. He threw himself into the research and the brief he filed was meticulously written. He was always very well prepared to present my arguments orally in court. He is mindful of billable hours and will work with you. A lot of lawyers don't care about you as an individual human - Bobby does.

      While I had never thought I would be a person getting a divorce, when I knew I had to move forward, I will be eternally grateful that I was referred to Robert (Bobby) Epstein. Bobby was not only compassionate to my situation, but extremely knowledgeable and self assured. As I prepared to make the most difficult decision of my life, I was convinced that I had the right attorney. Sure enough, now that my divorce is behind me, I can look back and say that my legal representation was second to none. I felt confident throughout the entire process that I was receiving the best possible legal representation from an attorney who is tops in his field. I was also extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend Robert Epstein if you must make the difficult decision to file for divorce.

      I have had the pleasure of working with Vikki Ziegler and Jonathan Blonstein in the past few years. Both professionally and personally. Having met Vikki initially, she was very kind, caring and patient. I felt she was very down to earth and offered advice on how to help me achieve my goals while being realistic with expectations. I then worked with both Vikki and Jonathan Blonstein who is a bright attorney that brought ideas to the table and was my go to person to contact any time. As a real estate agent, we deal with many divorce and real estate closings. They also offer a closing department which is nice because individuals that might need a total service, can find everything under one roof. Super appreciative of their services and patience.

      Ashley Manzi is by far one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with (business, personal, beyond). Her ability to be strategic and laser in on key priorities during the ever so stressful process of getting a divorce was only matched by her EQ and ability to "hear" out and navigate my situation. I would add that her responsiveness and thoughtfulness was incredibly invaluable to arrive at the best possible outcome in an expeditious manner. I just cannot say enough about her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and ability to get stuff done and do the right thing. She's also a lovely person and mom to boot! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

        It’s been over a year since my divorce and I’m finally ready to write an honest review. I transferred my case to Bobby Epstein (Robert), after my initial lawyer mishandled my case. I had no clue how to get a divorce and I was shocked at how I suddenly felt like I found my personal advocate. He was up against older, established lawyers in Bergen county. His professionalism, expertise, creativity, patience, guidance, respect & ACCESSIBILITY were unmatched. He is well respected by his peers and judges in Bergen County. (I had the opportunity to observe his interactions during “downtime” in court.) He personally handled my case from beginning to end. (My previous firm pawned me off and I felt completely alone and overwhelmed. I could not reach her when an emergency situation came up. I was terrified but thought this is how it works, I guess- until I found Bobby from a friend who had used him.) Bobby truly cares. You are not “just a case”. He is not a “shark” by nature but the teeth come out when necessary. In fact, he is a likeable and compassionate human being who truly wants to help you get out of your marriage as quickly as possible with optimal results for his clients. His knowledge and passion for the law supersedes any ego that seems to hinder many lawyers from providing the quality service of advocacy you deserve (and spending so much money to receive!) Although Bobby is modest by nature he is secure & confident in his knowledge of the law to achieve the best result possible. He is extremely “quick” on his feet, which made me feel confident during mediation & court proceedings. The difficult personalities he encounters on a daily basis do not ruffle his feathers. He was cool as a cucumber yet attentive to my stress and anxieties. He was relentless in his pursuit to achieve the best results possible in the most timely fashion. My divorce took less than a year. MOST IMPORTANTLY, he will personally respond to your calls or emails ASAP!!!!! Thank Gd!!! Hire Bobby Epstein and don’t look back.

        I endorse the legal services of Robert "Bobby" Epstein 100%. I am not a friend, classmate, prior acquaintance, neighbor or relative. This is not a paid or fake Internet recommendation. I researched qualified knowledgeable attorneys and asked Bobby to represent me in a complicated matter. Bobby took my case seriously. He threw himself into the research and the brief he filed was meticulously written. He was always very well prepared to present my arguments orally in court. He is mindful of billable hours and will work with you. A lot of lawyers don't care about you as an individual human - Bobby does.

        While I had never thought I would be a person getting a divorce, when I knew I had to move forward, I will be eternally grateful that I was referred to Robert (Bobby) Epstein. Bobby was not only compassionate to my situation, but extremely knowledgeable and self assured. As I prepared to make the most difficult decision of my life, I was convinced that I had the right attorney. Sure enough, now that my divorce is behind me, I can look back and say that my legal representation was second to none.

      I highly recommend Ruvolo & Ruvolo Law Group. Melissa and her team were excellent in bringing my crazy divorce to a favorable conclusion. She accomplished exactly what she said she would do and was patient and understanding of all my concerns. Melissa is a strategic thinker and was able to predict my adversary’s next move. It was a pleasure to work with her and her team throughout my divorce. She was always on top of everything and is very knowledgeable regarding matrimonial and family law. Ruvolo & Ruvolo Law Group will always be my attorneys. In the end, you will never be disappointed.

      Both Laura and Melissa are fantastic. They were consultative and genuinely supportive through the entire process. It was important to me that I had an amicable divorce. Laura and Melissa always made sure I was aware of my options and let me and my ex-husband make the decisions. Their expertise, advice and willingness to listen helped make sure that our divorce wasn’t a horrible scarring event for us and our children. They were very responsive and made sure the ball was always rolling – helping us navigate the process relatively quickly and seamlessly. It’s been a few months since the divorce was final and everyone in the family has adapted very well - better than ever expected. Prior to my experience I thought divorce was inherently difficult, lengthy, expensive and emotionally crushing. Thanks to all the folks at Ruvolo Law, it wasn’t that way at all.

      Family Law deals most often with divorce. It's obviously not a field enveloped with a positive vibe as heart-broken clients sort out their fears, sorrow, hostility, and anxiety. But Ruvolo Law Group was able to recognize these emotions, allow me to experience them, and then keep me moving forward with my head up. They helped me see that, with children involved, divorce isn't really the end; the marriage may be over but the relationship must continue to be grounded in respect for the sake of the children. Michelle and Melissa (and the super-friendly assistant, Kristin) worked together on my case and they got me through some very difficult times. They supported me when I needed it, gave me strength when I had none, and kept my eyes open to the bigger picture. In the end, I feel that my children are in a better place because of how Ruvolo Law handled me and my case. I can't thank them enough.

      The attorneys at Ruvolo Law are professional, competent, compassionate, and practical. Laura and Melissa are both moms with young children, and they are down to earth and easy to talk to. The support staff is equally professional and attentive to detail. For anyone who is in search of a Family Law Attorney, the professionals at Ruvolo Law are wonderful. I highly recommend this Family Law Practice.

      I could not have dreamt up a better lawyer than Melissa. With any divorce there is a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the process, but Melissa made it so, that when I was talking to her about my assets and my future, there was not a speck of stress worry, or doubt. She truly understands what you are going through and works relentlessly to see that her clients get all that they deserve. I don't know how she does it, but even with multiple clients, she sees to it that she puts just as much time and effort in every single one. And she doesn't just go by the book and say we have to do this this and this, but instead takes the time to get to know you, understand your personal situation, and figure out the best way to get you exactly what you are entitled to. Although I hope I won't have to call on her again, if I did, I know I would be in the best of hands. There aren't enough words to thank you, Melissa, for all that you have done for me except to boast about your amazing job to all who may need you. Hire this Wonderwoman ASAP! Trust me, you will not regret it.
