Professional and Informative

Mr. Fonticoba not only handled my case professionally, but also kept me up to date and made sure all my questions were answered throughout the process.

Grey attorney would recommend

This was my first time going through the home purchasing process and I could not believe how easy of a process Robert was able to make it, responsive and knowledgeable and will be using home again when the time arrives

Honest and Caring Attorney

Mr. Fonticoba helped me close on a business property. He took the time to explain and inform me on the process and fought hard to protect my interest. Most would not have challenged a large real estate company for fear of losing potential business or retribution but he fought for the little guy and... did the right thing. This wasn't just a closing to me, it was my life savings. I'll always be grateful to Robert for standing up to what was right.

Excellent

We’ve used him for several closings. He is excellent fast and well versed. I would recommend him to anyone doing business in North New Jersey.

Very haphazard attorney

This attorney handled my divorce which was friendly, no children, very little marital assets and my ONLY request was to include a name change notion for me to resume my maiden name and after paying almost 3k for the simplest of divorces-NOTHING. In my opinion and as someone who works with a bevy of ...attorneys, find someone who cares about you, your case and being an attorney. Fonticoba has NO conscience and acts like his job and what you hired him to do is a nuisance. Terrible, terrible attorney and I highly advise AGAINST using him for anything.

I represented this person's husband in the divorce and not her. She never paid the office as she was not my client. She never answered the complaint and she represented herself in the preparation of the PSA. I keep her informed of the of the status of the divorce and advised her of the date for the Final Default Hearing. I also advised her to appear if she wanted to change her name. She did not appear at the final hearing and when I asked the judge to change her name as indicated in the PSA, the judge refused as he required the Defendant to testify that she was not changing her name to avoid creditors or criminal prosecution. A copy of the Judgment of Divorce was sent to her shortly after the Final Hearing. Six years later she contacted the office to indicate that her name was never changed at the time of the divorce. My client was very happy with his representation by my office as he indicated on the record on the date of the divorce.
