I am originally from Seattle, Washington and decided to come out east for law school and never left. I have been practicing in family law since I graduated law school in 2003. I enjoy playing soccer and still play on several teams throughout New Jersey.

Compassionate, Skilled, and Reliable
I’m incredibly grateful to Veronica for her support, expertise, and dedication throughout my divorce.

Divorce Case
My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one. Veronica jumped on board in my case more th...

Family Matters
Veronica helped me through a difficult time navigating child care post parent separation. She was able to work with me to understand what was best for my child's needs and how to work with my co parent for the best outcome. This process was not easy and in the beginning very difficult however thank...

Restraining Order hearing
Veronica represented me in a temporary restraining order placed upon me by my husband. She was professional, thorough, compassionate. She helped me “rehearse” my defense and my delivery, prompted me the whole way before trial and made herself available to me anytime. I ultimately had the TRO lifted t...

Highly skilled, competent and diligent attorney!
I'm so glad I hired Veronica to represent me in my divorce. Not only is she dedicated, precise, kind and thorough but she treated me as if I were a personal friend and always had my best interests at hand. She is experienced, very analytical, knowledgeable, meticulous, and highly skilled. She enabled...
"It is all too common to come across lawyers with lots of flashy-sounding awards and distinctions, only to find out that they are not actually all that good. Veronica, on the other hand, is perhaps even better than advertised. We were adversaries on a rather contentious divorce case, complete with domestic violence, drugs, dissipation of assets and shady business partners. Throughout the process, Veronica was a consummate professional. Her knowledge of the law is top-rate. She vigorously advocated for her client, while also being reasonable and solution-oriented. We ended up settling a case that seemed destined for a long, messy, expensive trial. I endorse Veronica without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Veronica in the past as an adversary during which time I found her to be a zealous advocate for her client. She shows a compassion and understanding for her clients that is rare to find and her legal knowledge and analytical abilities are second to none. I strongly endorse Veronica Norgaard."
"Prior to working together, Veronica and I were adversaries on a number of matters. Not only is she a worthy adversary, but she is a wonderful colleague. Her knowledge of the law and her compassion for her clients are immeasurable. I absolutely endorse this lawyer"
"Veronica Norgaard is a top-notch attorney and litigator. She is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent advocate for her clients. When required, she is very successful at litigating positive results for her clients. She is similarly successful in negotiating settlements favorable for her clients. Veronica is always a pleasure to interact with and her professionalism is second to none. I strongly endorse Veronica."
"I have referred many clients to Veronica. She is a knowledgeable and aggressive advocate dedicated to helping her clients in the simplest matters to the most emotionally charged. She is understanding and hardworking and well-known professionally."
"I attended Law School with Veronica. She was trained well, is bright, and takes seriously the duty to advocate for her clients. While not many of my several hundred classmates stood out, Veronica did."
"Whether its family law, a tax matter, or estate planning, Ms Norgaard is the "go to" attorney. Ms Norgaard is personable and smart as a whip, as well as a fierce advocate for her clients. I refer matters to her regularly and have always had positive feedback about the clients' experience."
"Veronica represents the gold standard of what a divorce lawyer needs to be: aggressive, intuitive, confident, and skilled. She is one of the rare family law attorneys who are also accomplished jury trial lawyers. Indeed, she has tried firearms cases, shootings, and aggravated sexual assaults. She skillfully combines her practical knowledge and academic prowess as an adjunct at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and has been a guest speaker on television programs focusing on family law."
