Request modification family court

Outstanding Legal Representation I had the privilege of being represented by Brian D. Winters and Amy B. Harris in a recent family court matter in New Jersey. My regular attorney was unavailable, and they stepped in on very short notice. Normally, I research an attorney’s background and reviews th...oroughly, but in this case, I had no time. From the start, they handled every point in my motion and certification with confidence, professionalism, and clear strategy, resulting in the court granting the majority of my requests. Immediately after court, they personally called to explain the outcome, discuss next steps, and outline all options, showing exceptional care for their clients. Having dealt with multiple family, criminal, immigration, and civil attorneys over the past five years, I can say without hesitation that Brian and Amy are among the best. Do not be misled by office staff—they may not always be warm, but the attorneys themselves are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely dedicated to their clients. I highly recommend contacting them for anyone needing skilled and trustworthy legal representation.

5 out of 5!

Brian has helped me tremendously. I am a long time client and now a friend. Brian took the time and listened to my needs, and he went to bat for me over and over again. He is a great lawyer and a good person.
