This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Smooth and Easy Process

John and his team made this process painless. From the first consultation to my ch7 discharge, I felt completely informed and confident about my case. I also must mention that my case wasnt ordinary- there was a high amount of debt and a few obstacles that I was nervous about before talking to John. ... Because of this we had to pivot a few times during the process- John and Vicky were on top of everything and extremely helpful. Very satisfied with my selection for an attorney and would recommend these guys to anyone looking to file. John is very knowledgable with the bankruptcy code and had a solution to every problem.

Amazing Experience

John and his staff were truly amazing. From the consultation to the discharge, John and Vicky were there every step of the way. The level of communication was like nothing I have ever experienced with an attorney. Vicky was extremely helpful during the process and there were no surprises. They reall...y know their stuff and I would recommend them to everyone.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have had the pleasure of knowing John Murano for fifteen (15) years. In that time I have found him to be one of the finest attorney’s that I have come across. Having worked at two (2) major international law firms, I have seen some of the best attorneys the legal profession has to offer and I would rank John right up there with them. He is not only extremely bright, hardworking, detailed orientated, and a wealth of knowledge, but he’s also a human being. I have referred many clients to John over the years and have heard nothing but positive results. He is also very well-liked and respected by his colleagues, which is extremely valuable from a client’s perspective - as it generally makes a transaction go smoother. In short if you are looking for an attorney, I would highly recommend John Murano."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"During my seven years at Pressler and Pressler, I have had numerous opportunities to be in an adversarial position with Mr. Murano. Without exception, John Murano has been an articulate, intelligent, genial and eminently practical advocate for his clients. Given the large number of cases in my volume practice, I cannot say stongly enough how someone like John is appreciated. Matters are ultimaltely resolved in an expeditious manner, without needless posturing, without antagonism and with a sense of genteel cooperation that permeates the entire negotiation. In short, John is a credit to the Bergen County Bar. He is one who should be recognized as someone who sets the standard for other attorneys to aspire to."
