Strong Advocacy and Peace of Mind

When I first began the divorce process, it felt like a David versus Goliath situation with me being David in this case. My ex-wife works with attorneys on a daily basis and had her previous divorce attorneys on speed dial (one of the first red flags I chose to ignore before getting married). I had on...ly lived in New Jersey for four years and had not needed to establish any kind of attorney relationships…I thought. It was only by a stroke of pure networking luck that I was referred to MELD Law. From the first conversation that I had with Steph(anie) Lomurro, my stress level dropped immediately, and my peace of mind was restored. I cannot express how thankful I am for her counsel and guidance throughout the entire divorce process. My options were always made very clear and I felt that I had a strong advocate in my corner. I am absolutely and completely satisfied with the final outcome and I appreciate the speed with which Steph and Nikki got things wrapped up, despite the massive backlog in the NJ court system. My only regret is that I will not get to continue working with them—they truly felt more like friends than attorneys. I would highly recommend MELD Law, Steph, and Nikki without hesitation.

Excellent, professional representation

I worked with Stephanie on my divorce negotiation which involved a child, complex finances and assets, and international/cultural differences. Addtionally the opposing attorney was antagonistic, litigious and unreasonable in their approach. Stephanie remained calm, firm and focused through the entir...e process - very good at understanding the situation, talking through strategy, and applying the law to ensure a satisfactory outcome .

Top Tier Attorney!!!

Stephanie is Amazing!! From the first consultation she made me feel comfortable as a man going into family court. Her vast knowledge of family law is incredible. She was able to go in front of the judge and state my case very detailed and eloquently, which got me everything I asked for and more. I le...ft court a very happy man.. I hope to never return to family court again, but if I do Stephanie will be my first call. Everyone at the firm treated as if I were family since day one and I would recommended them all to anyone who requires top tier counsel.

Smart, Efficient, Knowledgeable

I worked with Stephanie for over a year. She's incredibly well-versed in the law, highly responsive and very thorough. She kept my best interests front and center and helped create a custom agreement that met my unique needs. I recommend her services!

The absolute BEST

I was referred to Ms. Lomurro by a mutual friend we have in common and I am forever grateful for this. After going through two other family law attorneys who very much dropped the ball with my case, it was an absolute joy working with Steph. From the get-go she let me feel heard which is so valuable ...when you have things such as custody and visitation involved. She was present in our conversations, she was responsive to my questions, and she was thorough with reviewing all the documents I presented her. The judge assigned to my case is very intimidating, yet Steph was able to keep up with him. She advocated for me from the moment we had our initial consultation. In the end, I could not have asked for a better resolution and she worked hard to get everything in order and signed by all parties and the judge before we stepped out of the courtroom. She made sure that everything was filed immediately and an updated final copy was provided for me that same day. It was an absolute relief walking out of the courthouse knowing that I didn’t have to follow-up with anyone because Steph had taken care of everything before we faced the judge. She really gave me my peace and my life back after two long years of going back and forth with my ex. She gave me her honest opinion every step of the way regarding which route to take with my case. In terms of the bottom line, her fee is more than fair. I have paid either equally or more for really terrible attorneys whereas Steph is an excellent attorney who worked diligently on my case. If you’re looking for an excellent and knowledgeable family lawyer who treats you with respect and has your best interest at heart, I recommend Ms. Lomurro a thousand times over. You will not be disappointed.
