I highly recommend Ms. Weinberger

Ms. Weinberger hwas able to deal with a most difficult situation of 4 years duration, was able to turn around a case in which a previous attorney made serious errors, and advocate in a strong but not hostile fashion with the judge and other attorney. Her approach was completely successful. The chal...lenge was coping with a deliberately malicious x husband who was psychologically abusvie of the children, but disturbed and machiavellian enough to make up consistent lies about the situation. Ms Weinberger's expertise helped us devote attention to the children's feelings. She was tenacious in this focus and over time the father had to back off at the insistence of outside evluators. It was Ms. WEinberger's knowledge of the nuances of family law cases, the best needs of the children, as well as successful litigation practices, that made this case successful with the children getting the utlimate proper protection. Also as an attorney she would always respond within the same day to any phone call or email, even on weekends, thus making me feel not alone in my difficult case

One of the finest family practices in the State / maybe US!

I interviewed a number of top firms in NJ (Barbarito/Frost, Riker/Danzig, Weinberger, etc.) and found Bari Weinberger to be the most knowledgeable, professional, the best judicial advisor as well as personable. I retained their firm and have never looked back on this decision. The firm is highly adm...ired, provides the best counsel and Bari herself is personally involved in my case - something none of the other firms would commit to. She is highly admired in the family law community as I learned, and has authored position papers that other family lawyers use as a guide. She is truly one of the finest examples of representation that any client could retain. I would recommend her unequivocally to all who want to feel secure that their counsel works solely with their best interests in mind while also providing the guidance and advise that only a top law firm could provide. Bari is surrounded by experts who not only compliment her, but extends her ability to provide for support (sometimes around the clock). Her firm is by far the best that can be secured! RA-MSEE

Big firm, second grade attorneys working on your case, ridiculous bills

Weinberger law group handled my divorce case for some time, then I had to switch to another attorney. I was quite pleased with Ms Weinberger's personal attitude and level of knowledge, though she could do a better job of keeping me informed on the situation. I told her from the very beginning tha...t I want to work with her, not random people from her firm, and she agreed. However, again and again people I never heard of were assigned to my case. At times their work was just awful. They tried to convince me to make unreasonable concessions to my wife, misrepresented her lawyer's words, and told me things like "you cannot do it" being unable to explain why I cannot do it, and what kind of catastrophe would happen to me if I go ahead and do it anyway. The documents prepared by those lawyers looked sloppy and were full of minor factual and grammatical mistakes (switching plaintiff and defendant being a typical one). It was difficult to get a clear answer to anything. Communication was a big problem, though I tried to make my questions as specific and clear as possible, and always put them in writing. Finally, I was slapped with a 5 hours bill for preparing a standard discovery (with a usual share of errors, in particular my last name was misspelled). Out of these 5 hours they charged 30 minutes for "reviewing" the adversary's response, failing to notice that this is an exact mirror of what they sent to her, down to fonts and spelling errors. There is no way one can stare at a document for 30 minutes and not realize it is a copy of your own work. I refused to pay the inflated bill and demanded reduction. Also, I refused to pay a bill from a person who I specifically asked NOT to do any work on a particular matter, but they still billed me for **looking at my e-mails!** Ms Weinberger automatically stood behind all ridiculous bills and refused to make any reductions. Finally I left for another attorney and Weinberg Law Group agreed to accept the reduced rate I initially offered. They did not go to arbitration. Bottom line: Bari Weinberger is a good and knowledgeable attorney and a good person, but it is not her who you are going to work with. It is random lawyers from her group that will send ridiculous bills your way and have you pay for correcting their spelling errors.
