Highly Recommend

Ronda is a wonderful lawyer. Sharp, knowledgeable, and responsive. My divorce took a couple of turns and got complicated but Ronda was always on top of it. She always listened to and considered all of my concerns which was very important to me. I was very pleased overall and highly recommend her!...

Amazing lawyer

I just want to take the time to write how grateful I am to have met Ms Ronda. She helped me to obtain relocation for my son after having a final restraining order issued against my abuser, my sons father. Ms Ronda is not only personable but she is very responsive and also would actually take the time... to speak to me as a human not just a pay check. She constantly would ask me on a regular not only how I was but also my son since this was affecting him as well. I would definitely, but hope I don’t have to, use Ms Ronda again if I need a family lawyer. Not only is she an amazing lawyer but an amazing human something that is truly hard to find now a days.

A lawyer you can trust...

If you are facing divorce, let me start by saying a heartfelt, I’m so sorry. It’s one of the most painful experiences you’ll ever go through. If you are like me, you have been extremely hurt and find it hard to trust anybody, especially a lawyer. That’s why I turned to Ronda. I needed somebody I ...could trust to stand up for my rights and guide me through this exhausting process. Not only is Ronda somebody you can trust, but also she understands the pain of divorce. She is willing to “turn off the meter” to let you vent emotionally, unlike the big law firms that bill in 6 minute increments. Additionally, Ronda brings over 25 years of family law experience and has the ability to quickly guide you through the courts to a positive resolution. My case is probably amongst the top 1% of most difficult cases, but Ronda was able to navigate a path forward because she commands the respect of the courts, the mediators, and the other lawyers in the district. That means that she can have the hard discussions that others can’t have. She can use her logic, reasoning, and compassion to forge the best possible outcomes. If you are facing divorce, you need somebody like Ronda on your side.

Amazing

I consulted with Ronda on a very stressful case. She was amazing. Ronda was able to answer my questions and provide helpful resources! She is very caring and knows how to put your worries at ease. I highly highly recommend her services.

Best Family Law Attorney in NJ

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ronda. She is more than amazing…she is hands down the best attorney in the state of NJ. My case is probably one of the most challenging she’s ever had. I’ve had to deal with a very controlling and manipulative ex-spouse, but Ronda helped me every step of the ...way with her confidence, knowledge, and compassion. She always goes over and beyond what I expect and she is a true professional. Not only that, she is extremely caring and puts the needs of my children and me in the forefront. Ronda always responds to my emails timely, respectfully, and empathetically. She fights extremely hard for me and my kids at every turn. She is compassionate but a fierce fighter. She also bills extremely fairly. I couldn’t ask for more in an attorney. She is the best. After several consultations with other lawyers, I knew from the moment I met her that I was going to hire her. I never regretted that decision. Thank you, Ronda!
