Compassionate, Savvy, Smart, Holds your best interests. Superior Experience from a Superior Attorney
Irene Shor has built her New Jersey divorce law practice around true caring, compassion, and kick butt legal skills and savvy, acting in the best interest of her clients.
I first met Irene when she joined a BNI networking group that I was a member of and right then I knew that she was a stand out divorce attorney.
There was no question, when the time came I hired Irene to handle my divorce and she and her legal team were superior in every way—responsive, steps ahead, caring, and full command of the nuances of divorce law and helping through every step.
From my first visit, I felt "held" and "safe" and that I was in great hands and that Irene and her team had the skill, experience and smarts to get me to the finish line.
Thank you!

Phenomenal!
I cannot say enough great things about Irene Shor! Hiring her to handle my divorce was the best decision I could have made. She explained everything thoroughly and in terms that were easy to understand. Irene did a tremendous amount of research to make sure that my settlement was appropriate and fair. She stood firm on what she believed I deserved based on all of the facts and professional research that was done. In the end, my settlement was almost precisely what Irene said should happen months before we were done. Irene is an excellent writer, stating our position and getting to the point with factual evidence in a clear and concise fashion. In addition, Irene’s associates and the team she has working with her at the firm are kind, knowledgeable, and also a pleasure to work with. Having Irene Shor on my side during this very difficult time in my life is a big part why I now feel secure, confident, and ready to begin the next chapter of my life!

A custody issue. Irene was tactful,insightful & resolved the issue to my satisfaction. I can be difficult due to high expectations but she met or exceeded my challenge. Financially very fair in proportion to results, she has my full recommendation.

Fantastic Family Lawyer
I hired Irene and could not believe the personal and outstanding service I received. I always received phone calls back with information and answers and the process could not have gone more smoothly. She was aggressive and proactive without overlawyering and I could not be more satisfied with her representation. I highly recommend Irene Shor.

Mr
Amdur Maggs & Shor Law Office was highly recommend to me by an attorney friend of mine and I couldn’t imagine having received greater representation. My limited vocabulary will fall far short of an accurate review of Irene Shor but is nothing less than sincere. Irene represented me in a divorce case and acted as my beacon through the entire process. I can only begin to describe Irene as genuine, iron willed, understanding, patient, driven, compassionate, protective, hardworking, relentless and uncompromising in her representation of me while making me feel more like family than a client. I only scratch the surface of the deserved accolades and wish I could better praise her experience, guidance and results. I truly believe that I couldn’t have been in better hands than Irene’s and can not recommend her any more highly. Thank you again Irene- from both me and my son.

Prenuptial agreement
My now husband and I had decided to get married and picked a date 2 months out. Given this was not our first marriage, my husband wanted a prenuptial agreement drawn up. Irene was able help me get it amended and completed with a week to spare before the ceremony! She was efficient, fair and pleasant to work with.

Many thanks for a job well done.
Irene follows up on the many details found during the divorce process. She handled intense courthouse negotiations extremely well on my behalf, and she was very responsive to the many issues before and after finalization. Irene Shor and Marguerite Maggs are a winning combination in the divorce arena—they respond to calls and emails oftentimes after hours and take action to address the issues rapidly. Highly recommend Irene Shor and the exceptional support staff within this practice.

Highly Recommend!
I offer the highest possible recommendation for Irene Shor to represent anyone going through a family law issue. She takes the time to explain everything in detail - no matter how big or small; you can tell she genuinely cares. Rest assured that she will put all of your fears at ease during this intimidating time!
