Outstanding Representation

Ms. Mendelsohn recently represented a family member in a criminal case, and she did an outstanding job. Her knowledge of New Jersey law and ability to make the law clear to us was exemplary. Jennifer is the ultimate professional with great people-skills. We were kept well-informed and were very comfo...rtable and confident with her representation. She appeared four times in court with us, and her direction was always clear. The outcome of the case was all we could have asked for. We were so fortunate to have Ms. Mendelsohn as our attorney.

Review of Jennifer Mendelsohn's Assisstance

I was referred to Jennifer for a cease and desist situation I was experiencing with a neighbor. My last resort was to involve an Attorney, but I had no choice, as the situation was spiraling downward. After explaining my situation, Jennifer immediately provided me with legal information I needed, wha...t my legal rights are, and what she needed from me to move on my case. After a couple additional conversations and emails later, Jennifer drafted a communication and an action plan that worked perfectly for me. The situation is 100% better. I've had limited experience with working with Attorneys , and immediately Jennifer put my mind to ease - I felt like I had not only strong legal representation on my side, but a friend as well! She even followed up with me, and to me, that's a sign of a professional. I'd highly recommend Jennifer for representation.

A Savior In Disguise

I came across Ms Mendelsohn completely by accident. Having multiple(3+) traffic matters hindering, I was directed to her by the Fair Lawn Chamber. At first I was a little hesitent seeing as my prior bad experiences with lawyers, but she made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Not only was she on top of e...ach and every court administrator & prosecutor, she was also extremely detail oriented in coming across multiple issues with discoveries from the various municipalities. Prior to hiring Ms Mendelsohn, I was facing 12+ points in violations... After all was said and done, I was able to walk away with 0 points from all courts, and simply left with fines on payment plans, which is more than perfect! You've all heard "it is the burden of the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," Well, Ms Mendelsohn really puts the state to work... After requested 2 certified abstracts and addt'l supporting docs, she was able to have some serious charges (traffic) dismissed after clearly pointing out that the state in fact never informed me of said offenses. No only was she very knowledgeable, but she was always ON TOP OF EVERYTHING! I would get an email almost daily with any updates, as well texts and voicemails, inlcuding reminders for court, which for me was extremely helpful! I can't continue to thank you enough Jen! If anyone is in serious need of legal council, she will make sure you are taken care of! 5 stars, 2thumbs up, and many many many thanks again!

Best decision I ever made

My son had some traffic violations, that due to his less than stellar record, could have caused a serious problem with his license as well as his occupation. He faced potentially losing his license on points alone, which could have cost him his job. Calling Jennifer was the smartest thing I could... have done. She is very well rounded regarding traffic laws, and managed to plead the tickets down to fines that were manageable, as well as avoiding points on my son's license. She juggled matters in two towns simultaneously for the best outcome. Her fees are reasonable, her attitude is wonderful. She explains everything in terms you can understand. What you see is what you get. Though I hope I NEVER need to call her again..............I certainly will should the need arise :) She really is a gem....and a nice person too! I truly feel you will be happy with your decision by selecting Ms. Mendelsohn.

Jennifer Mendelsohn; I could not have hoped for a better lawyer.

Jennifer Mendelsohn represented me in court on three separate occasions this year in defense of a serious traffic summons I received which threatened to mar my driving record aside from cost me significant sums in penalty fees and increased insurance costs for years to come. As a result of her un...common blend of astute legal knowledge and unique qualities of character she was able to obtain the best result I could have hoped for: (1). Ms. Mendelsohn displayed a clear and deep understanding of the legal particulars and their ramifications and even added a legal maneuver for me to avoid potential problems in the future. AND (2). She also displayed special qualities of cheerful calm confidence and diplomatic communication skills which enabled her to both interact with me to formulate and mount the strongest case as well as using those qualities in her dealings and negotiations with the prosecuting attorney to reach the best outcome. In short, as someone who has worked with many attorneys over the course of over 30 years, she is, like a five-tool baseball player, an attorney with the full range of required capabilities.
