Child Support Temination

I contacted Jef back in June of 2016 about my son. The question I had was.....do children get support when going to college part time!!!! Also my health prompted me to take action as well being 64 at the time with a serious heart problem (cardiomyopathy). Anyway Jef filed the motion at the beginning... of September 2016 and by October my son was emancipated and so was I !!!!!!!! Jefs law firm was quick and thorough and there were no hitches. All the attorneys especially Dominique were very helpful and professional. Also the cost was very reasonable as well. Thanks Jef for all!

Only thing he did for me was waste my money

I talked to him and hired him for an emancipation case based off of the big game he talks. In court I find out he's going to school ok so a reduction in child support is brought up and shot down because it wasn't filed for with the emancipation. One would think an Attorney they hire would tell their ...client to check that off in the original paper work when filing for emancipation just in case the emancipation wasn't approved but of course he wouldn't be able to make more money that way.

Replied last May 01, 2016

This review is clearly false. First, I have not had an emancipation case where there was oral argument for a long time. Second, all client review motions before they are filed. They have to sign off on them. If there was something that a client wanted to have added, they would have not signed off on it. Third, the description of the case does not match the facts of any case in this office. Therefore, this is a fake review.

Very professional and caring

I retained Jef Henninger for a child support emancipation case. It was not a clear cut case as the other parent was suing to emancipate my adult college student son. My son did not maintain a passing grade point average and I was extremely concerned. Jef Henninger took my case on very short notice an...d was able to obtain a very fair settlement that was beneficial to all parties including my son. It was handled quickly and very professionally saving both parents a great deal of money in legal fees. This also saved me, the custodial parent a lot of stress.

Definitely 5 Star! Highly Recommended!

We got rid of our original attorney and hired Jef to handle a visitation and child support case. He returned our calls and faxes promptly and we were very pleased the first time he appeared with us in court. He is very efficient and knowledgable. Hopefully we won't need him for a while as he has sa...tisfactorily resolved our case, but should the need arise in the future, he will be the first call we make! His support staff was also helpful when needed! Much thanks to Jef and Henninger Law Office.

Great Attorney - Will Take good Care of You

Jef has been handling my case for a number of years with respect to child support / college funding / emancipation. I live two states away from NJ and he has represented me in a professional manner and has always given me good advice. I would recommend him in an instant to anyone.

"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."
