Final Restraining Order - removed
I had a restraining order entered against me over 27years ago as a result of me not responding to a divorce. The order was entered in default since I never appeared in court. As a result of being homeless at the time I never received the notifications to appear. Thanks to Jef I was able to have the F...

NJ DYFS case
If you are ever in the unfortanate situation of having DYFS get involved in your life, I highly recommend Jef. He answered his phone on a Saturday night when I desperately needed someone. He immediately took action that Monday morning. His associate Mary Jane is exceptional. Both of them will dea...

DCPP is a broken system
There is only one choice when the DCPP becomes involved in your life. Even if the worker, investigator or supervisor is morally sound it still does not make up for the fact that the rules they abide by are broken, they are overworked and there is no possible way they can make a judgment on your Lif...

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...
Jef Henninger
Replied last September 29, 2014This 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.

"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."
