Easy to Work With

Phil was so easy to work with and explained things to me in a way that I could understand. He was very supportive and knew when to push for things and when not to. I cannot thank him enough for all his time, help, and support. Teresa

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I just came from Mr. Puglisi's office after a 4 way with my wife and her lawyer. Phil helped negotiate a very fair settlement. From the receipt of my wife's divorce papers process the stress was unbelievable and Phil did his best to keep me calm and tell me not to worry, that he would take care of ...everything. I needed that ! Phil is a very calm, very accomplished compassionate attorney and it shows in his preparation, constant attentiveness and ability to negotiate. And as far as fees are concerned, he does his very best to keep them at a minimum as his philosophy is he's there to help his clients, NOT to bilk them. If you are unfortunate enough to need a Divorce Attorney, you should definitely give Phil a call. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Divorce

I hired Mr. Puglisi based on a referral and I was very satisfied with his services. He spent time explaining each detail of the divorce proceedings with me and he never made me feel like he did not have time for my case.

Philip Puglisi did an excellent job as my attorney. I highly recommend him.

My divorce was finalized today, 3/26/2019, and I was represented by Philip Puglisi. Throughout the entire process Mr. Puglisi was thorough, detailed, very informative, and extraordinarily helpful. From the moment I walked into his office, Mr. Puglisi told me what to expect and what he was goin...g to do to help me get through this very tough time in my life. He is a man of his word and he stuck to his word and his commitment to excellence every step of the way. The first time I walked into his office after having been informed by my wife that she was divorcing me, I was scared and full of anxiety. However the fear and anxiety started to go away right after the first time I met with Mr. Puglisi and as the divorce proceedings went on, I was soon free of all fear and anxiety once I saw that I was in great hands and had top notch representation. I am very grateful to have had the good fortune of being represented by Phil Puglisi. For anyone out there in the Northern New Jersey area that is looking for an excellent, top tier divorce lawyer, look no further than Philip Puglisi. Nobody wants to find themselves in a situation where they will need the representation of a TOP OF THE LINE professional like Mr. Puglisi but life happens and when it does, I urge you to contact Phil. I was literally sitting in the courtroom right next to Phil a few hours ago as my divorce was getting finalized and I am writing this note as a divorced father of two beautiful children. If you are reading this and if you are getting divorced, I want you to have the same level of expert representation that I had. Thank you.
