Amazing and prompt service

I hired Mr. Dunleavy when I was going through my divorce and property settlement. He was very professional and prompt with his responses. I started my divorce process around 2014. He until this day still gives me outstanding advice. I cannot express how happy his service has made me and the results t...hat he has made happen for me. I highly recommend anyone to hire Anthony. He will ensure that when he looks at your case that he can look at it objectively to give you the best advice. He will ensure that if something isn’t looking right that it will be addressed. Divorces are a long process but it did not seem long with Mr. Dunleavy because he was very consistent with contacting me and the other party to have a prompt consent order entered.

Excellent Attorney.

It is very hard to find an Attorney with so many great qualities, but I would say that Anthony's biggest quality is how Humble he is. This allows him to always listen without jumping to conclusions been able to get the whole picture and represent you better. He is patient and will explained everythin...g in detail. He answers all your concerns and is there for you every step of the way. Anthony did and Excellent job with my Parental relocation and even thought the other party put up a fight, he remained always calmed and positive and performed his job in a very professional way. I would recommend Mr. Dunleavy with my eyes close. If you want an Attorney that cares about you, you should definitely talk to him. Great Attorney. Highly recommended. Thank you

Exceptional Customer Service

From the moment Anthony introduced himself to me I felt that I was in good hands. He made good eye contact and I knew he was listening to everything I had to say. He worked me through my divorce expertly and with exceptional advice and feedback. I would recommend him to anyone needing a divorce attor...ney.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Anthony as the lawyer on my divorce case earlier this year. Anthony really is an amazing lawyer. I had spoke to a few other lawyers before choosing him and he was definitely the right choice. Anthony was always available to answer my questions immediately. I was really surprised how quick he ...answered my emails even at night or on the weekends. He always was very patient with me even when I would get frustrated with my ex husband's lawyer. Anthony always keeps his cool and really does try to make his client happy. I was initially scared to work with a lawyer because I thought they weren't honest. I truly believe Anthony is a very honest lawyer and wants the best for his client. He is very personable and relatable so it makes it easy to work with him. My divorce was finalized in less than 4 months. I was happy my divorce was over but sad to stop working with Anthony because he was so nice. I would highly recommend working with Anthony on a divorce case as he has a ton of patience and knowledge in the area. Although Anthony is young I do not see that as an issue he was better than my husband's lawyer who owned his own firm.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Dunleavy and Freeman Hughes Freeman are excellent. I've been dealing with the law office for 2 years now and will be for many more. After consulting with Mr. Freeman himself, I became a little apprehensive when he told me Mr. Dunleavy would be handling my case. I thought they had handed my cas...e to a beginner. But, after his representation I could not be happier. He and Freeman Hughes Freeman are very attentive and realistic. They treat you as an equal and not as a subordinate. For the money I spent (about 2,500 retainer), I received that level of representation and more. Mr. Dunleavy is a consummate professional who is street savvy and exceedingly intelligent. For someone I perceived as young for an attorney; he is overly astute and perceptive. He has represented me twice (thus far) with impressive results and a REAL plan moving forward. Mr. Dunleavy has addressed my concerns night, day, and weekend; and has endured my pestering with limitless patience. I sought the best family attorney/law group in Hudson County and I found them. Many Thanks P.S. : If my friends were in the NJ area, they would all be going to him.
