Posted by Lidia | October 14, 2014 | Mediation

Great advice, saved us a ton of money.

Jef's firm was there when we needed a good lawyer to help us resolve our mediation regarding our contractor that had walked out after Sandy storm. The case was resolved quickly and in our favor and he avoided costly court costs.

contested child custody with false allegations

Highly recommend Mr. Henninger and his team. Got me into court quickly and were successful in gaining an emergent order for custody hearing, and ultimately, full physical and legal custody of my child. Helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. Fair and straightforward billing. They have the e...xperience and wisdom that it takes to be successful in the family courts.

Good job

Mr Henninger was able to get resolved a matter that had been ongoing for years with no/diminishing results from three previous attorneys. I wish I had hired Mr Henninger first as my attorney, but I was first working with some "high priced" highly recommended attorneys that could care less what ha...ppened. Jef resolved this matter as quickly as would be allowed by the complainant's attorney.

Don't recommend for DCPP cases especially complicated as Jef Heningers book written April 2014 states

DCPP removed my children April 2014 (right when his book on a know it all on DCPP was released). I was informed at the court hearing for order to show cause that Mr. Heninger wanted to take the case to trial even though there was no facts on their case. Prior to going into the court room, he told m...e that he quit and will not work for me as I was argumentative with him. I agreed to a trial as I wanted my name to be vindicated and DCPP to present their falsified documents which never took place as DCPP dismissed the case September 2014. Many of my former colleagues are in disbelief of how this case was handled.

Replied last September 29, 2014

This anonymous person does not appear to be a client of this firm. As a result, this could be anyone including our competition. In addition, the review doesn't even make any sense. First, lawyers cannot just "quit", a motion would have to be filed. According to the reviewer, no such review was ever filed. Second, if we did represent a client that was argumentative, we would have to get out of the case but again, a motion would have to be filed. Third, the statement "Mr. Henninger wanted to take the case to trial even though there was no facts on their case" doesn't really make any sense from a negative perspective. If DCPP had no evidence, it would only make sense to press the issue and fight them. Fourth, if we didn't actually represent the client, how could he or she judge our performance? Fifth, the use of the "know it all" clearly indicates that this person has some type of animosity with this firm. A credible review would have just stuck to the facts. Sixth, unless this person is a lawyer, the reference to former colleagues also doesn't make any sense either. Finally, this person should have indicated exactly what they did by being argumentative. Clients are permitted to disagree with their lawyers but it is only when clients start making threats do we feel the need to file a motion to get out of the case. The client of course has the right to oppose such a motion. There is no indication that any of this actually happened which is why it appears that this is a false review.

24/7/365 service with 9 offices in New Jersey...the search is over, you have found the lawyer for you!

Jef Henninger and his group took the headache I had for over 5 years, in the matter of 1 month away for good. I highly recommend him for ALL and/or ANY legal services.

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."
