Here's Why I'm Giving Mathew 5 Stars...
Matthew Rosen did a excellent job not only addressing, but resolving the matter I had. Mr. Rosen is very knowledgeable in the legal field, and provides A+ service to his clients. I think you will agree after the first initial call or consultation that Mr. Rosen is a great attorney. I had a matter that was taking forever to resolve (we are talking months, weeks of trying). It felt like dead end after dead end. When I spoke to Mr. Rosen, I went on my gut feeling to hire him, and I sleep good at night knowing I did. In less than one week, Mr. Rosen resolved my issue, case closed. This guy was like the Flash of attorneys. Here's why I would hire Mr. Rosen again: - Excellent service. He knows the legal field, great personality, and understanding. - Easy to contact. I could reach him in a timely matter, and I feel this is overlooked attribute in the legal field. - Speed. He does not wait, or hesitate on your case. Like I mentioned earlier, I hired him on Wednesday, and by Friday, my situation was coming to a close. I'm glad I was able to work with Mr. Rosen, and he is definitely my lawyer of choice. I would give him 10 stars, but Avvo only allows 5!

Great Experience
Mr. Rosen is a highly talented lawyer. He goes above and beyond what needs to be done, to get you the results that you want. In addition, it is evident that he truly cares for his clients. I was living in an apartment below very loud tenants, and when my apartment management company failed to acknowledge my case, Mr. Rosen had me in a new unit at no additional cost in less than a week after his initial call. I would highly recommend Hammerman Rosen LLP. I will be recommending his firm to friends and family in the future.

Wonderful lawyer
I cannot recommend Matthew Rosen enough as a divorce lawyer. He was extremely patient and explained everything to me about entire divorce process. He made sure I had reasonable expectations for my outcomes and delivered everything he promised and more. Divorce is never an easy thing to go through but Mr. Rosen was there supporting me every step of the way. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he explains things in a way anyone can understand. He was extremely professional and always responded in a timely manner. Highly recommend anyone to use him as their family lawyer.

Best divorce lawyer!
I couldn't be more grateful for the excellent service and expertise provided by Matt Rosen, my divorce attorney. From the first meeting, he made me feel heard and understood, and remained empathetic and professional throughout the entire process. He was always on top of every detail and kept me informed along the way. I so very much appreciate his dedication on expediting and achieving a quick and fair divorce settlement all while protecting my rights. Thanks to his hard work, I can finally close a long awaited chapter in my life and move forward with confidence. I highly recommend Matt as an attorney to anyone going through a divorce.

Great Experience
Matt is the reason that, after eighteen years of alimony, I now have a Court Order terminating alimony and declaring that all my previous obligations to my ex-wife are over. From the initial consult, I could tell that Matt knew how I could best present my case to the Court. He worked with me to get the paperwork right, effectively told my story, and fended off my wife’s lawyer’s cross motion. He also performed well at the Hearing, showing an instant positive rapport with the Judge, unlike my wife’s attorney. Eventually, to use a metaphor, the ship went exactly where he was steering, and he really helped me get through the day’s stressful events. Relying on my prior experience in NJ family court, Matt’s impact, just by being in the case, was well worth his fee. Thank you, Mr. Rosen! As good an experience as this could have been, and I’ll be back if I need a lawyer.

I hired Matt to help me with my divorce. I found him to be very knowledgeable. He was always reachable and answered every question I had throughout the process. He responded to emails quickly and never made up items to create billable hours. Matt kept me informed of important dates and never treated me with disrespect.

The focus is in finding solutions
Mr. Rosen handled my divorce process and I can say that I am a very satisfied client with the overall result. He effectively answered all my questions and proved to be a keen negotiator during the marital settlement agreement with the ability to find alternatives to problems. Mr. Rosen is a lawyer that focuses in solutions, which is a crucial characteristic when someone is facing a stressful situation like divorce.

Adoption case
I can’t thank Matthew for the adoption for my daughter. My husband has raised her since she was 4 months and we thought it would be smooth sailing adoption. Unfortunately , it was not and it was a difficult adoption due to something within our end. Matthew spent nearly almost two years working so hard to get this through and he sure did! ( and he could have charged me extra for the complications but he never did;Also Bergen County is the hardest adoption process versus other county’s ) I cried tears of joy hearing the judge say my husband is officially her father!!! Thank you Matthew! You’re an amazing attorney and not only an AMAZING attorney and AMAZING being! Thank you for your patience. Shelby his assistant was amazing and thorough! They were on top of everything and cc’d d me on every email. Let me know by step by step. Never missed any deadlines. If you are in the same situation! Please look no further because he did an outstanding job!! I am forever grateful for you, you have no idea! I would give him 10 stars!!!

Client of Matthew Rosen
I would like to thank Matt for his amazing work in helping me with the numerous mounting cases I have encountered in the past year, a very complicated custody battle, a back and forth parenting time schedule, a house partition action, helping to prove fictitious accusations against me and clearing my name of falsified domestic violence and criminal charges. Matt has kept me on the straight and narrow, keeping a level head and focused on the end goal, which I am beyond satisfied with. I recommend Matt’s services at the highest of recommendations. Matt has always been there for me during my toughest of times, being a FDNY firefighter battling in the Courts of New Jersey, for the first time in my life ever dealing with courts in general, for both custody and criminal, Matt has gone above and beyond. Thank You for your Professionalism and Thank You for ALWAYS answering the call, I’m indebted to you.
