Mr. McAuliffe was my 4th and final lawyer through a divorce that lasted 1.5 years. He was incredibly responsive. I felt well represented and confident about my case after he took over. He listened and took all of my concerns into consideration.
Mark has represented me several times; in my divorce and subsequent actions with my ex, and then in a real estate transaction. I would trust Mark to take the wheel anytime!

Excellent Lawyer and a compassionate, ethical person with a lot of integrity.
I really liked his calm, unruffled and truthful approach in the court, with all the family law proceedings, and paperwork. He recognized the realities, the painfulness of the situation and left no stone unturned in getting the results that were rightfully due. I turned to him for my home purchase related paperwork too and whatever I entrusted him with was done thoroughly and completely in reasonable time. The only regret I have is I wish I had taken his advice seriously - the one that he gave me as a caring person for the next chapter in my life. Mark, you were right and I wish I had paid attention.

Top Notch Attorney
Mark McAuliffe is a knowledgeable, caring and compassionate advocate for his clients. He took his time to get to know all the facts in the case, and we couldn't have had a better attorney. He paid attention to the case and always seemed to be one step ahead of the opposition. If you need an attorney in North Jersey, he is the guy.

Real Estate Transaction
Mark and his team assisted me with both the purchase of a new home and the sale of my existing home. The purchase of the new home took much effort by Mark and his team around the home inspection. The house had many issues and required a significant amount of negotiation with the seller. Furthermore, the seller transferred the property to a relocation company. The relocation company was very difficult. Mark and his team did an outstanding job working through this process.
Both the closing of the purchase and the sale were very smooth.

An attorney that will go the distance for you
I just recently finished an over 2 year divorce battle in which Mark represented me.
This case involved a planned international abduction of my daughter, a well thought out plan of emptying/stealing my funds, and numerous false domestic violence claims against me. This case was a very complex yet extremely difficult case for me on all levels (emotional, mental, physical, financial, spiritual)
Mark is a straight shooter and what i mean by this is that he represented me with integrity and always reminded me that being truthful was his style in the courtroom. He's all about using facts. His style may not fit some peoples' style in the fact that he's not malicious or spiteful or gets loud. He stays composed and knows when to march forward and when to pull back. What made me feel comfortable with him is that i knew he was always fighting for me.
Working with him and his firm in this most heart wrenching time of my life was a privilege because he wasn't just my attorney but now i can call him my friend. I respect him greatly.
I would highly recommend him to anybody that's entering a divorce or any type of family matters.
