EXCELLENT LAWYER. THRILLED WITH OUTCOME OF CASE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Excellent experience working with Melanie Constantino and I am more than thrilled with the outcome of my case. I came to Melanie Constantino regarding a contract and collections dispute with a New Jersey business. From the first contact, Melanie was extremely prompt with communication and exceptional...ly thorough in her review of the documents in question. What I appreciated most working with Melanie is that she really, truly had my best interest at heart during this process. She was thorough, direct, and leveled with me regarding all options...which I greatly appreciated. Thanks to Melanie's expertise, we were able to settle and I am more than thrilled with the outcome of the case. Working with Melanie was a complete pleasure and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone in New Jersey and New York.

Exceptional Client Service

I came to Melanie to seek legal advice on a situation I was dealing with and while it wasn't her specialization, she listened, pointed me in the right direction and stood by me through the process. When you hire an attorney, you expect they will do thier job and that alone would be great. While that ...would satisfy some, I would not consider it exceptional. What differentiates Melanie is that she provides exceptional client service and that's what sets her apart. There are plenty of attorneys that you can sift through to figure out which is best or which may be least expensive but if you want client service that will exceed your expectations, she is a phone call away.

The "go-to" Lawyer for help of any kind

I cannot put into words how helpful and responsive Mrs. Costantino was with dealing with my case. Not only did she stay on top of everything, but she was providing me information about my case that I was not even aware of! Instead of going through the hassle of court and more paperwork, we were able ...to settle everything outside of court with the same outcome. Other lawyers that I have dealt with made me feel like just another one of their many clients. With Mrs. Costantino, I felt like I was personally being taken care of, which is very important to me. I would 100% refer her to anyone that is looking for a hardworking lawyer that actually cares about their clients and their well being. She's someone you can real trust and count on.

Melanie R Costantino's feedback

Melanie was the attorney for my stepfather. She has done a very detailed investigation, in the professional way with a dosage of empathy for the family. She was impartial, professional, but we felt like we speak with the friend. The case has been served in a good time manner. I would recommend Melani...e's service to everyone.
