Reliable professional

Laura Mendonca was reliable, responsible and knowledgeable lawyer. She took the case and worked closely together all the steps up the way. Laura is a responsible professional and i knew she resolved all as best as she could and I always felt that I could count on her.

100% Satisfied

There are so many decisions to be made when legal representation becomes inevitable. Thankfully I chose the best team to represent my name. Laura Mendonca and Cyndi Reeves became my dream team. At a time when you are lost and need a guiding hand, the counsel of Weinberger (Laura Mendonca) proved... to be a sound choice. Working with me every step of the way, we mapped out strategy and contingencies for the multitude of challenges which accompany most legal matters. All my thanks and praise to these fine professionals. Thank you Laura and Cyndi for all your hand holding, care and 100% satisfaction!

Great work

When I hired Laura she was very honest and direct to the point with my situation. She was aggressive in her letters to the other attorney and actually got the other party to drop their side of the disagreement. Costs were reasonable and money was well spent.

Outstanding, caring, professional, and hard working

I couldn't be more happier with Laura's outstanding, hard work, dedication, caring attitude, and professional work while I was going through my divorce. As a male in the state of New Jersey, Laura was able to get me everything, and more, I wanted (and needed), while going through this difficult time ...in my life, due to her hard work and dedication to my case. She went above and beyond all, I would have expected of an attorney, to ensure I received all that I was entitled to. I couldn't be any more happier with my settlement she was able to get for me. As a male, one hears horror stories about the outcomes of males going through a divorce, especially when it involves young children. Laura worked extremely hard to ensure that this was not my situation. I not only walked away with a good settlement, but a better quality of life, thanks to her. Laura's attention to detail, her knowledge and understanding, and expertise in this field led to a very favorable outcome for me and my children. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone going through a divorce. One can expect only the best with Laura on their side. As we all know, divorce can be a very stressful and difficult time in one's life. Laura not only helped to reduce the stress and difficulty, but her genuine care and concern helped me out, on a personal level, as well by reassuring, and comforting me when times were tough. I've often told many people that, as a male in the state of New Jersey, I walked away, from my divorce, with more than I would have ever expected to walk away with in this state. Her expertise and knowledge of New Jersey law, pertaining to divorce, ranks among the top. Her concern just wasn't only for me, but also for my twin children as well. She made every effort to make sure that my quality of life and the life of my children came first. During my divorce, there were certain issues that came up, pertaining to safety issues, regarding my children. Laura worked extremely hard to guarantee the safety of my children and was able to prevent them from any harm. Laura certainly is the top in this field of occupation and I'm ever so thankful to have had her as my attorney. I would not hesitate, to ANYONE, going through a divorce, Laura's services. She is not only "just an attorney" but a caring, compassionate, person as well, always maintaining her professionalism each step of the way. Laura is, and always will be, the top of her profession. If you are looking for someone to handle your divorce (be it male or female), do not look any further. Laura is the one who will fight to get you all you are entitled to and then some. If it weren't for Laura, I would not have what I do now, which is; a better quality of life, happiness, and a fair settlement. Working with Laura has been great. I owe so much to her and recommend her to ALL and EVERY/ ANYONE who finds themselves going through a divorce. Thank you Laura for ALL that you have done for me!!!
