Outstanding Divorce Attorney

I have been a client of Pam's since 2012. My divorce - over a simple estate - unfortunately took 2 years, 2 months to settle, then more litigation/motions by my former wife, post divorce. My situation was made worse by my former wife's corporate law firm, who were awful people to go up against. Pam ...was the perfect choice for me: my criteria was to hire a tough woman, not a man, experienced, local to Essex County, one who knew the inner workings of the Newark divorce system. Pam is not only very experienced (30+ years) but from the area having spent her whole adult life in Essex County. She not only took on the corporate lawyers representing my wife, she defeated them in a long motion post divorce, which resulted in a full blown trial. We won this huge case that could of cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pam is professional, tough but fair, and also has accounting/finance skills that are so important during the divorce process. I recommend Pam to any person who is looking for a competitive edge in their case. Pam also knows the Newark judges well having been working in the Newark system for several decades. Want the best? Hire Pam.

A fair and honest advocate

Pamela Cerruti represented me through my initial divorce proceedings and then again a few times over the period of time I was executing my divorce with regards to alimony and child support. She is a fair and honest advocate, incredibly knowledgable in her field and has great relationships and contac...ts in Essex county that help smooth any wrinkles that come along. I am happy that I found her to represent me, and strongly recommend her for family law services.

Very responsive and knowledgeable

Pam was always very helpful and responsive to assist me in navigating my divorce. Her background in finance was a plus. She gave me great advice and kept me focused on the important points of my case. I would absolutely recommend her as an attorney and hope I never have to, but would use her again... if I needed.
