UNPARALLELED, EXCEPTIONAL, EXTRAORDINARY, OUTSTANDING,

When I started my search in February for a divorce attorney, I met Mr. Puglisi, and I was instantly extremely confident that I needed to search no further. Am I glad I decided to hire him to handle my case right there and then! Mr. Puglisssi possesses all the qualifications one would hope to fi...nd in a divorce lawyer, and more. Not only is he experienced, well informed, competent, professional, proficient, and considerate. He is also as importantly, remarkably ethical. I was truly amazed by his capacity to quickly pick up on important details of my case to which I oftentimes was oblivious. Additionally, he is thorough in his reviews of whatever information, correspondence, and/or concerns one throws at him. He is super quick in responding to phone calls and emails. And on top of all that, he is the only lawyer I know who tries to save you money when offering his legal advice! Mr. Puglisi runs an extraordinarily impressive law practice, and he is surrounded by a team of the most extraordinary professionals I have had the pleasure of working with despite the overwhelming nature of a divorce process. They truly go above and beyond to provide clients with not only legal support and advice, but also on many ocassions, they serve as therapists! I cannot count the many times when I would turn a meeting into a therapy session, and Mr. Puglisi and his amazing legal assistant, Chrissa, would just listen to me, without interrupting or judging and just showed their empathy! I highly recommend Mr. Puglisi as a divorce lawyer. MariN

Thorough

I hired Phil for my initial divorce agreement and he was thorough throughout that entire process. A little over a year of my divorce, I am dealing with post-marital issues due to my ex not complying and rehiring Phil was a great decision. He does his best to keep my costs minimal while doing a great ...job at working on settling my case fairly. Phil is knowledgeable and thorough with my post-martial issues and has effectively guided me throughout this process. I highly recommend Phil for any family/divorce issues.

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.

Saved us time and money

We hired Mr. Puglisi to get back child support from my wife’s ex. He did a great job for us. He expedited our case so it didn’t drag on. His experience and his instincts paid off and saved us money. Then he went to court with us and negotiated a settlement that was greatly in our favor. We definitely... recommend him.

Uncontested Divorce

I called Mr. Puglisi's office after reading some great reviews about him online. I was looking to hire a lawyer to help educate me on divorce in New Jersey and ultimately help to get me divorced. I had no idea where to start or what to do to even kick the process off. When I called the office, M...r. Puglisi kindly walked me through what the entire divorce process would be like and what steps I should take next. When I eventually decided to file for divorce, I knew I wanted to hire Mr. Puglisi as he was able to clearly explain to me what needed to be done, unlike other law offices I had spoken with previously. Mr. Puglisi was instrumental in getting me a settlement that I was happy with, and more than I would have received had I not had a lawyer. All conversations I had with Mr. Puglisi and anyone at his office were helpful and moved the process along, I never felt as though my time or money were being wasted. I fully believe Mr. Puglisi and his staff are the reason my entire divorce process went smoothly and quickly (3 months from start to finish). I would highly recommend The Law Offices of Philip C. Puglisi and would definitely use them again should I ever find myself needing their services!
