Direct, Compassionate, Thorough, and Assertive!

Melissa has been amazing for me and my daughter. She helped me through an extremely difficult stage of life, and made sure she did everything to get the results we needed. She has high attention to detail, is compassionate, and has low tolerance for nonsense from the opposition. I felt protected and ...confident when she represented me. I highly recommend her!

Attentive & Sharp

Our family had an exceptional experience with Melissa Cohen. We had a very unique case and she took her time to listen and thoroughly review all aspects of it. We are thankful for the way she always made sure we understood the next steps and we felt confident with her representing us.

Great attorney

I came to Seiden Family Law during one of the most challenging times of my life. I needed a tenacious, highly capable, well-respected attorney with deep knowledge of Union County's family law bench and procedures, and that is exactly what I found in Melissa. Melissa helped resolve my custody dispute ...quickly and in my favor. In addition to being a highly skilled and motivated advocate, I found Melissa to be compassionate and a great communicator as well. Thank you!

Dedicated, Advocate, Professional, Smart - Best of the Best

Melissa has been my son’s advocate and mine, since the moment I met her. What impressed me most about Melissa was her professionalism, her investment of time to understand my individual case, her thorough knowledge and understanding of case law and precedent that would support my positions. And m...ost of all, her ability to guide and advise me appropriately on every single issue that came up in this stressful process. I was overwhelmed and scared and needed her to assist me with a contentious custody motion. Melissa was always straightforward and told me what to expect each step of the way. She does not always tell you what you want to hear, though she will provide the outstanding guidance and advice you need to get the best outcome possible. Having a lawyer who is honest with you and guides you even when the information is difficult or not what you want to hear is critical to get the best outcome for your family. My situation is high conflict and Melissa remained steadfast and professional while we navigated the contentious and often frustrating process. Melissa always promptly answered my questions, emails, calls and responded in a manner that helped navigate every issue. I am not someone who would easily give five stars, especially on a topic as important as my son and his well-being, and Melissa is absolutely five stars. I have recommended Melissa to colleagues, friends and family and will continue to do so. She has high integrity and expertise and I trust her in every instance.
