Moskowitz Law Group
The Moskowitz Law Group is hands-down the best firm in Bergen County. I have utilized their services a few times in the past few years and they have never let me down. Put your mind at ease; call Moskowitz!

Excellent, Timely, and Professional
I began my divorce in the summer, and Eilish M. McLoughlin (a partner of the firm) took on my case after a consultation. Eilish and her team were nothing short of excellent. She was friendly, accommodating, and answered all of my questions during our one-on-ones. In court, Eilish didn’t mince words and had a laser focus while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She was also very clear with her expectations and timely with all responses - there were no surprises during the process. The entire team at Moskowitz is wonderful, and they make you feel as comfortable as you can be during a divorce proceeding. I highly recommend the firm if you’re seeking representation in a divorce!

Truly Blessed
I couldn’t be happier. It was a tough situation from the start, Galit knew right from the first and only consultation. Steven Cohen was always there for me regardless of the circumstances, a true warrior. Always honest, fair and on point. Great referrals for other consultants upon request. The knowledge, experience and commitment from the Moskowitz law group was clear from the very beginning and solid through the end.

Excellent Service
My representation with Genevieve was awesome! From the very beginning she made me feel comfortable discussing my case with her. She was always available when I needed her and always responded back to me in a timely manner. She always maintained a high level of professionalism and all court documents she submitted on my behalf were impeccable! I am very happy with the outcome of my case & it was all due to the time and effort put in by Genevieve. I am happy I chose her as my attorney and if I ever need a family lawyer again, she will be my first choice.

Knowledgeable, Professional, Sensitive
I was pleased to have been met by the owner of the firm during the consultation and Galit assured me I'd be well taken care of by the attorney assigned to me. I absolutely was.
Genevieve clearly always had my best interests in mind throughout my divorce negotiations, and she was also very sensitive to the emotional aspects that arose. Her experience helped to set my expectation and I appreciated her step-by-step guidance throughout the process.
I was also very impressed that Galit continued to carve out time with me to discuss any issues I might have experienced, and to ensure I was satisfied with the service.

From the very first time I visited the office I was treated with professionalism.
Galit has a wide range of experience in the field and you get that feeling from her Immediately, she just makes you feel right at home.
She also has a great sense of humor which makes difficult topics easy to address.
from my personal journey, I definitely recommend the moskowitz law firm.
I like that I was understood of every aspect of my personal situation and I can honestly say my divorce was a smooth process.
Thanks to Galit and Steven I have a custody agreement that I'm super happy with, could have not asked for a better outcome.

They’re the BEST
I'm very pleased with the Moskowitz law group. The Moskowitz law group is a very professional team and the location is very convenient.
They're the BEST! They are very caring, diligent, intelligent, and WORK VERY FAST!
Ms. Galit Moskowitz is very attuned to the issues/struggles that a single mother encounters during the course of a divorce as she is also a woman and a mother
She always listened to my concerns created a strategy that put the best interests of myself and my children in the forefront and made sure I got what I wanted and most times more than what I expected.
Ms. Moskowitz fought very hard for my children and myself. She never gave up! She is a monster (in a good way) in the courtroom! I had a terrible judge, but Ms. Moskowitz was able to get me what I wanted.
Mr. Steven Cohen is so amazing also! He is VERY VERY INTELLIGENT. He knows family law inside and out. His writing style is superb. Mr. Cohen was able to reedit and include all of my proofs, complaints and anger in EVERY SINGLE submission to the court. I was speechless in how well his edits were written and were able to convey my concerns and thoughts to the court. I trusted him 110%. He is a persuasive and effective writer and it helped me tremendously in court.
I couldn't have done it without them. I highly recommend these two. They're passionate about their job and the bottom line is this.... THEY GET THIER JOB DONE!!! They gave my children and I a great NEW start and I am forever grateful to them.

Personable, compassionate, understanding but Strong & can be fierce!
Up until I met with Galit, nearly every lawyer I’ve ever met with had that nasty air of superiority as well as lacked any kind of compassion and friendliness. After More then 15 yrs married with 4 kids, including a newborn baby and a terribly complicated divorce, I was dreading meeting with lawyers & terrified, not imagining how I would be able to get by. Galit however blew me away! She was sweet as pie to me but you could easily tell that she was nor a woman or lawyer to be trifled with. She definitely knows her stuff and her level of compassion combined with her strength and fierce protectiveness made her someone I trusted and wanted to work with immediately. She felt more like a friend that just happens to be a lawyer with many awards and accolades under her belt. Everyone I’ve met in that office has a heart of gold and I’m beyond grateful to them! Galit Moskowitz & Stephen Cohen are absolutely wonderful and I can’t speak highly enough about them. I honestly can’t imagine anyone NOT being happy with hiring her.

Though it was a heartbreaking child custody case, my lawyer helped make it easier
My lawyer contacted me the minute anything changed and was very easy professional. She made a less than happy situation a lot less stressful with her understanding nature. I would recommend Melody to anyone struggling in any family law case.

Luther Jones - Moskowitz Law - Pre-Nuptial Agreement
Luther was a true professional. He answered all of my questions and had me feeling comfortable with each step along the way. He gathered all of the necessary information from myself and my financial contacts, and he also was very courteous to my fiance and her lawyer. Work was done in a timely manner, and he appreciated the rush to get it all done. Luther gave me advice when asked for, and allowed me to dictate the terms of the contract. Overall, I would recommend Luther and his firm to anyone who asked.

Excellent representation in a difficult case
I was going through a divorce while recovering from a major health issue which had a major Impact on my earning capacity.
Galit Moskwitz and her team fought vigorously in my case to defend my rights and ensure the final settlement is based on my current earning ability and health condition.
The Moskowitz law firm’s excellent knowledge of the law and performance turned a very stressful situation into a very positive outcome for me.
I will be more then happy to recommend The Moskowitz Law Group to any person looking for the best representation in a divorce case.

Excellent Divorce Attorney
I am confident recommending the Moscowitz Law Group if you are going through a divorce. Galit Moscowitz came highly recommended to me. Both Galit and Luther Jones worked with me to achieve my overall goal: to make the divorce as quick and painless (in every sense of the word) as possible for my children…and me. I wanted to avoid a long, drawn out legal battle at all costs and Galit and Luther advised me on how to do just that. By understanding the laws, removing emotion, and focusing on the best interests of my children, I was able to come to a framework of terms with my ex, which Luther formalized in a comprehensive Property Settlement Agreement. He worked hard to facilitate the process to get to a signed agreement and in front of the judge to finalize the divorce quickly. Galit, Luther and the entire staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional and nice to deal with.

Expert Attorney
Galit Moskowitz is an expert in family law and she takes a personal interest in her clients. Galit understood the importance of obtaining Supervised Visitation for my daughter and she worked tirelessly to secure my daughter's safety. Galit prepared thoroughly for each court date and did not back down to any challenge my ex-husband's attorney presented. There was one instance: minutes after the Judge made a decision that she did not feel was in the best interest of my daughter and I, Galit continued to review her notes in the court room. She found the evidence she was looking for. Galit got permission to present it to the Judge, she ran out to the court parking lot to retrieve the other attorney. They sat in front of the Judge briefly and the court order was changed in the favor of my daughter and I. Galit was determined to do her very best for us! I am grateful for her help and dedication.
