About Irene

Biography

With over 23 years of experience and a love for what I do, it is my singular goal to make an experience that is the most difficult in people’s lives as smooth as possible. I bring empathy, a personal touch, real advice, and aggressive representation to every client I represent.

Your children are the most important people in your lives. Their best interest is at the forefront. We provide aggressive representation for reasonable people with unreasonable spouses.

Divorce is the most difficult time in people’s lives and it is my goal to make it as smooth as possible for my clients. We provide aggressive representation for reasonable people with unreasonable spouses because nobody deserves to be taken advantage of, especially, when times are at their worst.

Family law is synonymous with divorce, child custody, support and other very difficult issues to tackle. I provide aggressive representation for reasonable people with unreasonable spouses.

Many family law and divorce cases start with a domestic violence matter. We provide aggressive representation for reasonable people with unreasonable spouses.

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 o...ut 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! Marjorie

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 fai...r. 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!

One of life’s most difficult challenges...

The emotional upheaval and suffering associated with divorce are beyond measure. With day to day uncertainty engulfing you, you better have the best possible legal representation behind you. That superior support and representation was fully provided by attorney Irene Shor. Throughout the entire tryi...ng process, Irene always made her self available any time of day. The resulting fair outcome was made possible only by her fierce commitment, dedication, high level competence and experience. I would highly recommend Irene Shor to anyone in matters of family law.

Lawyer

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.
