Outstanding legal Support.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and professionalism Ms.Katcher provided throughout my case. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests at heart. I always felt informed and confident knowing she was handling everything. I highly recommend her services to anyone in nee...d of strong, reliable legal representation!

Knowledgeable, attentive attirney

Tamra provided me excellent representation. She is knowledgeable about the law and strategies to get the best result. She is well acquainted with relevant parties. She was always available and consistently communicated with me. She is clearly highly experienced and very professional as well as being ...pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Tamra.

More than expected - my new "go-to" for all future issues

The Rem Law Group was referred to me as a great law firm to handle my 2nd DWI. During my consultation, I began working with Tamra Katcher of The Rem Law Group and immediately knew she was the one I wanted on my side. During our consultation, she was extremely focused on my case and every minor de...tail. There was not ONE second where I felt 'rushed' or like 'just another client'. She was extremely thorough with her thoughts, the laws, my options, etc. I hired her on the spot. From that day on, Tamra EXCEEDED my expectations with the amount of communication her and I had throughout the entire case (7 months); whether it was through phone or email. She was always quick to respond, or hand over information that she received on her end and keep me 'up to speed' on the case. She also did an amazing job working around personal issues I was going through (losing my job) and did MANY unexpected & friendly things to help along the way. I was going through a lot, and her assuring & positive personality also played a large role in helping me feel better about the situation. Because I was so satisfied with her services, towards the end of my case, I hired her again to review my FIRST DWI because the lawyer I hired for my 1st case was NO WHERE NEAR as thorough as Tamra, and I believed I had received poor representation. She diligently worked on reviewing my first DWI at the same time as my 2nd. Not only was she extremely professional and personable (which is hard to find both in a lawyer, it seems), I was stunned and grateful for the way she was able to break things down for me, in a 'non-legal' language that I could understand. I would recommend 100% and will absolutely hire her again if I'm in need of representation again. A+++ all the way.

More than pleased with the outcome of my case

Ms. Katcher is an extremely knowledgeable and talented attorney. She walked me through the entire process and kept me up-to-date the whole way. I am more than pleased with the outcome of my case and I am thankful that Ms. Katcher and team could put me at ease during a very stressful time.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the pleasure working with Tamra when we were assistant prosecutors in Essex County. She was my trial partner and one of the most dedicated attorneys that I have ever known. She is extremely bright, diligent, and practical. Since that time, I have had the pleasure of recommending several criminal and municpal matters to Tamra. The feed back I got from the referrals was excellent. I will continue to recommend Tamra in the future for such matters and would strongly suggest that anyone looking for a criminal/municipal attorney consider Tamra."
