I have been a police officer for over 15 years and have come across a ton of lawyers. Ive been questioned by them at trial and deal with them all the time. I needed an attorney to help me out with a personal matter and i didn't feel good about using any of the guys that I know. I was looking for someone how my wife would like and feel comfortable with and who really cared about our situation. A buddy of mine told me about Mr. Lamont. I called and met with him the same day. I really can't enough about Mr. Lamont. He got where we were coming from right away. He resolved our problems and his price was very fair. Honestly, I hate dealing with lawyers, but I loved dealing with Mr. Lamont. He will be the only lawyer that me and my family deal with from now on.
Peter was very helpful, easy to talk to and seemed genuinely concerned with the success of our small company. He knowledge of business not just the law, is something that I have not seen in any other lawyer that I have used. He helped with everything including marketing and the development of our future business goals. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great law office
My wife made a few calls looking for the services of a local attorney to handle the sale of our house and the closing on our new home. My wife asked Jacqueline several questions. The second my wife ended the call she looked at me and said Jacqueline answered all my questions and she was very professional and nice let’s use Peter Lamont’s office. We had ups and downs in a long process of selling and buying. And trying to line up both closings on the same day hours apart. There were days my wife and I wanted to pull our hair out. I can’t tell you how great full we had Jacqueline in our corner. She was always on top of everything going on threw this long process. On the day of closing my attorney peter lamont and Jacqueline made both closings very smooth. I was in and out of the office with no surprises except the bottle of wine mr lamont gave me. I found the price was very fair and would definitely use the office again. From both my wife and I Jacqueline thanks for all you did it was a absolute pleasure to work with you.

I highly recommend Peter and his team as I will use them for all of my legal needs going forward.

Excellent legal services in first time property purchase in NJ
Peter Lamont is an excellent real estate attorney. He charges a fair and up front price. From start to finish he and his team helped me through the process. I worked with his paralegal Jacqueline quite a bit too, who is super professional and responsive. I would definitely use him again for any NJ real property transactions. A+++

Non-Compete Agreement
Peter really took the time to walk me through all of the issues I would face in defending against a contract I signed many years ago. He was knowledgeable and I am happy to have him as my legal resource in the future.

Review of publishing house' contract with author
I am a new author and after completing my manuscript, I contacted publishing houses. A publisher showed interest in my work and sent me a contract. After reviewing the contract, I became concerned as some of the narrative within the contract was vague and I had concern’ as to what my 'ownership of rights’ as well as several other concerns would be. I needed an expert’s advice on contracts as I was one step away from singing. I found Attorney Lamont' reviews were 5 star and decided to engage in his review and analysis of the contract before moving forward.
Thankfully I did contact Attorney Lamont. I emailed the contract and his office scheduled a conference call to discuss the findings. After Attorney Lamont' review, I was astonished at all the areas of concern he had with the contract. Narrative that not many professionals would have picked up, certainly not me. Attorney Lamont went into finite detail, going over the 5-page contract and pointed out areas such as the exclusivity agreement, loss of rights, areas of the contract that are immediate 'red flags', other areas where I would have potentially lost international rights. I was shocked at first that I was about to sign the contract, but was thankful that I engaged in Attorney Lamont's services to review the contract.
Attorney Lamont also offered advice on how I could get my manuscript published and most importantly he advised on how I can protect my manuscript going forward. I immediately declined the offer from the publisher and are already in the process of meeting another publisher. If it wasn't for Attorney Lamont, I probably would have lost my creation. Thank goodness I contacted him !!

Consulting Agreement
I sent the document to the lawyer. He reviewed it then called me at the appointed time to discuss it. He explained the various sections in the document to me and confirmed that the changes I had proposed were legally appropriate. My expectations were fully met.

Absolutely Fantastic.
Dennison Marzocco ESQ and the law firm of Peter J. Lamont & Associates were awesome to say the least. They helped me with my closing and did a wonderful job. Dennison would reply immediately to any queries and had an expertise for handling of situations. He worked hard and strategized with me to successfully achieve what I had in mind. Essentially his communication back and forth was the best ever. Peter Lamont, ESQ also personally handled my contract negotiations in numerous occasions. If you’re looking for wonderful representation in areas of business, contract, and litigation, contact the law office of Peter J. Lamont & Associates.

A pleasseure to work with - realistic & effective...
This was my first (and hopefully last) case where a client refused to pay in hopes of me just "going away". Peter and his team made it possible and most importantly AFFORDABLE to stay the course and never give up.
If I am ever faced with a business dispute in the area(s) that Peter and his team cover, I will gladly reengage them to ensure a positive outcome.

Great lawyer
Peter is a great lawyer. He is practical in explaining what contract language is meaningful to negotiate, and which doesn't worth pursuing. He is also very knowledgeable about the technical details of the New Jersey law. Great lawyer, I would certainly use his service should next event arise.

Fair price, competent, thorough and attentive
I picked him because of his AVVO score. He redid a business contract between myself and another party. He protected my interests and advised me on which battles to fight and what to let slide. He always got back to me same day, either phone or email and continued to correspond promptly after I paid him. (Something I was wary about for no reason) I feel the cost was appropriate for the service.
