Best Family Law Attorney in NJ!

We retained Melissa to help my husband with a complex issue regarding his divorce with his ex-wife. She jumped right in and knew strategically how to handle and resolve our issue. Her knowledge of this area of the law is impeccable! She not only treats you with respect, she treats with you with compa...ssion because she knows how highly emotional these types of issues are as was such with our case. Whenever we had a question she was available immediately to answer it for us as well as to ease our anxiety over the issues she was addressing for us. She was able to get us everything we asked for in court and we are extremely grateful to her!! I personally recommend her to everyone I know in need of a family law attorney. My husband and I were truly blessed to have her as our attorney and will be forever grateful for her amazing advocacy on our behalf!! I highly highly recommend her services!!

Excellent Attorney

I retained Ms. Cohen regarding a sensitive family matter. She has been nothing but knowledgeable, prompt, and reliable. The dedication she has to her practice is unparalleled. Initially, I was emotional and wavering. Ms. Cohen sensitively and professionally explained the law and decisions (althou...gh difficult) I had to make for the safety of myself and my daughter. She thoroughly explains all possible routes and outcomes. Ms. Cohen has a human touch coupled with a fierce loyalty that is an immeasurable benefit when considering a family law attorney. As I continue my journey through family law, her guidance and representation is nothing short of excellence. I have recommended her and will continue to do so.

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!

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!
