Client

Mr. Henninger represented me on a trial involving domestic violence. False criminal charges were brought against me which could have had unimaginable consequences had I been convicted. Needless to say, my life truly hung in the balance. Mr. Henninger represented me in both municipal court as well as... in a Grand Jury hearing. Throughout this most difficult time, Mr. Henninger always kept me informed, immediately returned all my calls and answered all my questions honestly. He was thorough, prepared and knowledgeable at all times. I am pleased to report that the case was dismissed and I was exonerated of all charges. I highly recommend Mr. Henninger.

Frustrated FID applicant no more!

I called Jef to find out what had taken my town two years to approve my firearms owner application. Jef answered my call in person on my first call. He listened my story, gave me his fee, and advised me he thought my chances were favorable. I have never had so much as a parking ticket in my criminal ...background. Within 2 weeks of hiring Jef's firm , I had my card. Thank you Jef and Matt.

Would hire him all over again

Jef is a honest, sharp lawyer. I found him on the internet and saw him in action before I hired him. Because he does criminal law; he was awesome at dealing with my divorce that needed a mind of someone that does litigation. Jef has always been there for me even during off hours when things happen th...at I needed his advice. He won a very important appeal on my behalf. I am grateful to have him on my team during a very difficult time. You want a lawyer that does not play games and feed into your emotions especially during a divorce. you want a lawyer that breaks it down for you and does not talk over your head and is also out to assist you and not bleed you financially. Jef is that kind of lawyer! I would hire him all over again! Thank you Jef for all that you do!!!!

FID card delay... resolved by Jef in hours.

For weeks I was waiting for my FID card. I was stopping by the police station weekly for updates, and just being told "soon, and to keep waiting". Finally an officer told me he believed the dept was backed up "months".... I retained Jef immediately, as I did not want to miss the fall hunting season.... Timetable: I retained Jef on a Fri afternoon. He worked over the weekend for me. By Tuesday morning, Jef's staff called me and told me my Permit was now waiting to be picked up!! Could not be happier with the outcome, He got more done in 36hours then I did in months, and kept me in the loop with every step. Would recommend Jef, and will use his services in the future if needed.

Thank You Jef

I wanted to thank you again for taking my case in Somerset county NJ. I remember the first thing you told me when I came into your office after my drug arrest was, "You are going to die if you do not get any recovery in your life." This was exactly what I needed to hear. The seriousness of drug ad...diction and how much it was destroying my life. I was facing 6 years in prison because this was my 3rd felony charge. You told me to start a life of recovery and just maybe the state would understand and place me into the Special Probation (Drug Court) program. After doing everything I could for my recovery, NA meetings, IOP, etc...I was sentenced to Drug Court. I cannot thank you enough for helping me battle my addiction. You will always have a place in my life and recovery and I cannot thank you enough. I would recommend you to anyone that is in need of a professional, curtious, and caring lawyer. At no point did you not look out for my best interests in my case and life. Thank you again for all your professionalism and support, ~Grateful Recovering Addict Sam.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jef Henninger is a remarkable counsellor, and I have referred matters to him simply because he is unique, in addition to being generally excellent. I have an informal, self-taught specialty at the intersection of law and computer science, whereas Henninger has studied it all formally, is degreed, and there is no one like him in the statewide area. Simply the best. He's also expert in various regular specialties, including matrimonial, criminal, DYFS, and several others. I'm 25 years doing criminal law, and he's one of a small few I'd rely on for my own defense. He also employs a staff member that used to be with me, so I personally know she's excellent, too. All that plus exemplary ethics. If you're in and around NJ and need his sort of expertise, Jef's firm is your best bet to get a great outcome."
