She represents clients in all aspects of matrimonial and family law, including divorce litigation, mediation and arbitration, custody and parenting time disputes, alimony and child support, separation and property settlement agreements, adoption and guardianship advice, domestic violence matters and sexual abuse, domestic partnerships under the Domestic Partnership Act, and palimony.

Jeralyn does not shy away from having her voice heard in the legal industry. As an advocate in the profession, she has argued before the Supreme Court of New Jersey on behalf of leading legal organizations, including the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) in a matter concerning the Division of Child Protection and Permanency, as well as a case seeking clarity and statewide uniformity on how requests for modification of alimony based on cohabitation are addressed by the courts. She has also appeared before the Supreme Court of New Jersey on behalf of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers New Jersey Chapter (AAML/NJ) regarding a palimony case and has argued as amicus before the Appellate Division on behalf of the NJSBA. In recognition of her influence and leadership within the profession, Jeralyn had the esteemed honor of being elected as President of the NJSBA. She was also appointed by the Supreme Court of New Jersey to serve on the Disciplinary Oversight Committee, the Wellness Committee, and the Supreme Court Committee on Family Practice, appointments that reflect the trust and respect she has earned at the highest levels of the judiciary. She is also certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, a distinction earned by only a select group of attorneys, and previously served on the Matrimonial Certification Committee, which oversees the statewide certification process for matrimonial attorneys. Collectively, these positions reflect her enduring commitment to shaping and elevating the practice of family law across New Jersey.
