A very satisfied client!!

Marc is a very educated and patient attorney. It was a result of his knowledge of how they PFRS works, that saved me a lot of heartache and money. Marc was very responsive with phone calls and correspondence which is rare. I highly recommend Marc to a family member or co-worker. Thanks again for a co...mplete and professional job!

Great Lawyer!

Marc helped me resolve my divorce within a timely manner. I heard of divorce cases that took years to resolve and I was worried at how long the case would take. With Marc’s professionalism we were able to close the case with everything in my favor. He has great time management, professionalism and gr...eat advice to give. My experience working with Marc was great and it was done within a short time period and a reasonable price! Overall I would recommend him to anyone that needs to resolve any marital legal matters. Thank you so much!

Truly Grateful for Marc Poles!!

The word that comes to mind when I think about my experience working with Marc is "grateful". I am so truly grateful that I found and hired Marc to represent me during my divorce. As an elementary school teacher and mother of two, I knew very little about the divorce process, custody laws, and financ...es. I was intimidated by anything financial or law related. I needed to find a lawyer who was knowledgeable in all of these areas, but I also needed a lawyer who could explain everything to me, break it down, and guide me through the difficult decisions that would effect my children and I for years to come. Marc was there for me every step of the way and he exceeded my expectations. Not only was I extremely pleased with the outcome of my divorce, but I felt that he truly cared about my children and I. He made sure I understood everything and he worked so hard for me! He was always available and replied immediately to my emails and calls. I learned so much from Marc and I am so truly grateful that he was by my side at a time in my life when I needed guidance, support, and expertise. He is a brilliant man and a caring lawyer, who walked me through some of the biggest and toughest decisions I've had to make...and for that I will always be grateful!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I first met Marc while serving as a law clerk with him at the Bergen County Superior Court. Then he was highly competent and dedicated to the study of law. I continued to learn that this dedication to the study of law only increased when he became a private practitioner. His skills and expertise are visible in and out of the courtroom, because of this he is a pleasure to work with. I regularly recommend potential clients with matters in New Jersey and New York to Marc, because I am always confident that no matter how complex their legal issue, it will be handled with the utmost competence and professionalism."

"Don't be fooled by Marc's age or years of experience - he can hold his own with a 30-year family law veteran. His experience as a law clerk gave him familiarity with the law, the court rules, and the court procedures, as well as a great rapport with the judiciary. He has now brought that experience to private practice, where he is great with clients, co-counsels, and adversaries. I would trust him to handle the most complex family case."
