Melissa Cohen

First, I had a consultation with Melissa and explained my situation and where I stood within my situation. She listened intently, did not interrupt, and when I finished, she asked some questions about what I had said, and offered some explanation of how I should be handling myself as well as my case.... She not only understood my case thoroughly but I got the feeling that she also understood me. I felt very comfortable talking to her, and she felt comfortable explaining and talking to me, I felt. I hired her on the spot. (this meeting was approximately two hours) During the next few months, she was always there for me. Before I would act on anything between my wife and I, I always consulted her first. She not only Offered advice but explained both sides of the story. Then left the decision of what to do to me. I was able to make sound decisions based on her counsel and looking at the situation in more than one perspective. She guided me every step of the way and helped me to an unbelievable conclusion of my case. I would also like to mention that her assistant,Meghan, Was absolutely wonderful!!

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!!

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!

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!

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.
