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!!

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.

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!
