Wonderful Lawyer!

I highly recommend Marc! He was very knowledgeable, helpful with my MANY questions regarding my divorce and child support, and he was so easy to get a hold of at any time, and very quick to respond. He always kept me informed on what was happening next, and made sure I understood the entire process ...as we went through it, which was really helpful for me since I knew nothing. I'm definitely happy with the way he handled everything!

Posted by Janet | December 07, 2012 | Child Support

Success!

I was having trouble collecting child support for my two children. Marc helped to get my ex-husband into the probation system. My children will now get the support they so rightfully deserve! It was a pleasure working with Marc and his firm. He is extremely knowledgeable in the behind the scenes ...working of the entire process which provided me with a level of comfort and capability.

Family lawyer | Oct 29

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."
