I wish I knew his name earlier

I just had a free consultation with Mr. Iton about my nasty divorce case. He listened to me very carefully and patient, let me finish my story and gave me his suggestion. Since my case has been a while and he thought it’s nearing the end, he even tell me right now is not good time to change attorney.... I appreciate his honesty and kindness.

Knowledgeable and compassionate

I am a service member with a horrible property settlement agreement poorly negotiated 11 years ago by an attorney in NJ. I was paying child support not accurately calculated for all these years. After doing my due diligence, I was able to find Mr. Iton. He had held my hand throughout the whole proces...s with honesty, professionalism, and compassion. I was not another soldier for him. He has done a fantastic job. I thank God for all his help. And, I will hire him again to continue with custody, parenting time, visitation, and communication with the most important in my life…my children.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
