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!

THE BEST!

Melissa changed my sons (and my) life for the better. I was seeking to relocate over 1000 miles out of state, which is not an easy feat in New Jersey. It was a long, stressful, and tough process. Our case ended up going the mile to trial. Melissa was completely responsive throughout the whole process..., answered every crazy question I had, and eased my worries. Her true skills shined in the courtroom. In the end, we won our case and I was granted the relocation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better representation, and a better person to emotionally guide me through the process. I would whole heartedly recommend Melissa to any friends and family who were seeking family law representation.

My attorney

Seiden Family Law group has gained the best family law attorney. I always felt secure and protected by Melissa Cohen for the past 13 yrs during and post my divorce. She handled my divorce case with so much knowledge, dedication and was by my side and available for any issues I had.
