Batya G. Wernick (she worked on my case)

Mr. Wernick handled a dispute for me with a car dealership in Morris Plains who had been very dishonest and deceitful in handling my car lease. After repeatedly trying to resolve my problems with them and not getting anywhere, I hired a lawyer to handle my case (not Ms. Wernick). But with that lawye...r I had to deal with a lot of communication problems. Finally when the case didn't progress at all for a couple of months, I went to Ms. Wernick to discuss my case. She was very friendly and after listening to my case, gave me both the pros and cons facing me. She always gave me good advice regarding the case and it was easy to work with her even after I had to move away from NJ. The dealership tried to intimidate us initially but Ms. Wernick handled the situation very well and after a few months we settled the case out of court with quite satisfactory monetary compensation. If you're looking for help with a legal matter, I would recommend giving her a call and if needed having a consultation with her - you'd receive honest advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
