Excellent Divorce Attorney

When things got difficult with my marriage, Aileen stepped in and started navigating me through the divorce process. I interviewed many attorneys, but Aileen was the only one that was able to give me step by step detail of what I would be experiencing. Also, her price was fair. I hired her immedia...tely. Aileen worked quickly and efficiently. I told her I wanted to file for divorce and the next day he got served. Aileen walked me through everything and kept me in the loop the entire time. Marlene, her Parallegal, was also very well informed and I turned to her for advice many times. I felt like I was not alone in the process. In the end, my husband and I decided not to get a divorce. Aileen was fair about the retainer and wished me all the best. I will definitely hire her anytime in the future I need such stellar, excellent representation, with out hesitation. Thank you Aileen and Marlene, for all your hard work and unparalleled services.

Chapter 7

I initially contacted Aileen Perez to discuss a possible Chapter 7 filing. I was at my wits end, overwhelmed and out of options. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and professionalism, and her compassion and understanding as well. I am so glad I hired her and together we were able to put ...this difficult time behind me and now I have a fresh start. I highly recommend Aileen and will use her services again if needed and will recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Complete and total confidence

Mrs. Perez was recommended and I could not be more blessed to have crossed in her path. She saved me and my home from foreclosure through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Without her guidance I am sure I would have lost everything and fortunately with her expertise and knowledge I did not. I’m forever grateful ...to her and would recommend her one million times over.

Thank You Aileen!

I was in a bad car accident not to long ago. I was stopped at a red light and an intoxicated driver slammed into me while traveling at approximately 50 mph. My car was totaled and I was badly injured. I sustained a neck injur, a dislocated shoulder in addition to a slipped disc. I am in constant pa...in on a daily basis and have been to dozens of dr’s appointments, including the emergency room as well orthopedic dr’s and am now in physical therapy. NJ is a no fault state when it comes to injury’s in a car accident. This was not known to me and means that I am responsible for my own care even though I was at no fault in this accident and since I have a deductible on my insurance the medical bills are starting to pile up. It also turns out that the driver if the car that caused this accident has inadiquate insurance coverage and I know have to use my own insurance to cover the cost of a new vehicle. This has been incredibly stressful on both my family and I as I have missed work due to my injury’s and our household bills are also starting to go unpaid. A friend suggested that I speak to an attorney and gave me Aileen’s number. I contacted her and she immediately made me feel better about the situation. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law and what my rights are in a situation like this and she was able to explain it to me in words that I could understand. My wife and I decided to hire her. We are now working with her and she has since taken over everything from dealing with the police department because of an inaccurate accident report to corresponding with both insurance companies, dr’s offices and even the auto body shop that my car was taken to. We still have along way to go but I feel as though I have already won because Aileen has relieved me of all the stress of doing this on my own. I am confident that she can get me some relief from the continuous bills incurred by this accident and help me fight for my rights. Thank you Aileen
