Laraine Schwartz is a responsible, intelligent, quick acting and knowledgeable lawyer. Our case was completely out of the ordinary, yet, she navigated us through the many up's and down's pertaining to the complexity of immigration law. Needless to say, our case has been resolved to our best and highest interest, and we are finally able to move forth with our lives.

I hired Laraine to work with me on purchasing a business. Laraine was incredibly supportive and responsive to my phone calls and emails. The guidance she provided me was always clear and concise. I never felt lost in "legalese" and the process was conducted in an efficient and timely manner. I plan on working with Laraine on my other endeavors as this is my first experience with an attorney who is caring, not only as a professional, but as a person.

Laraine Schwartz helped us almost two years ago for all the legal process for the sale of our home in Hoboken and the buy of our new home in Jersey City, and thanx to her and her team everything worked out really smooth and easy. We highly recommend her for any legal work needed.

I have never met a kinder, more respectful, efficient, organized and astute attorney in my time. She provided ongoing information through this very stressful process of purchasing a home, returned calls/responded to emails promptly, and was always "10 steps ahead," of us, helping us to keep informed through all steps of the process and feel better. I would highly recommend Laraine to anyone with confidence and know that you'll be in the very best of hands.

I worked with Laraine on a real estate closing and it was a great experience. It was all very seamless, and she was always available to answer questions. She was also really helpful when we were drawing up lease for a rental place. She walked us through not just the lease, but a lot of rental issues and laws I'd need to be aware of.

We consulted with and hired Laraine for immigration services and are very happy that we did. She is caring, responsive and professional. Any questions we have she responded to in a timely fashion, sometimes in the evenings and weekends. Her assistant is excellent too. We had a relatively short timeline and she was able to get the filings completed within the timeline. We are very happy with her services.
