A truly outstanding attorney, perhaps the best divorce lawyer in Bergen County

I came to Amy in shambles. My previous attorney was terrible and had screwed up my case to the point that I thought I would completely lose custody of my child and be forced to give up my home and everything I had worked for. Amy fought tooth and nail in this uphill battle. She handled the case ...aggressively, she handled it compassionately, and ultimately, she earned me a result I never thought possible. Amy came recommended to me by numerous people in the area. She was there for me whenever I would call, she would explain every option, every proceeding, and was also there to talk me down from the ledge several times when I thought I was losing it. I completely disagree with any reviewers that say she was unprepared! She would walk me through every hearing, she would stay at the office late to meet with me when I would finish work, and would even call me back late at night or on weekends if a custody issue arose. Because of Amy I now have a wonderful relationship with my daughter, and my child support and alimony obligations are completely reasonable and manageable. I would recommend Amy to anyone and everyone. Her fees are reasonable, especially considering that she is truly an amazing attorney (and charges less than comparable attorneys in the area). It is also worth mentioning that she worked with me on my bill, regularly lowering it when I would have a bad month (I work in sales). I am forever grateful for Amy and her staff (specifically Diane and Michelle). My life wouldn't be the same had it not been for them.

Family lawyer | Oct 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have just finished a case with Amy. She is knowlegeable and practical. She advocated for her client and also advised him what the law was and allowed him to make his own decisions where he was willing to be more generous to my client and pushed back where he was not. We finished the entire divorce quickly and amicably as the parties wanted it done. The paperwork was prepared and exchanged promptly and both of our clients were satisfied with the process."
