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.

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.

restraining order

The lawyer who represented me from the Jef Henninger law firm was completely professional,knowledgeable and kept in contact with me at all times though he had a very busy schedule to deal with while he was working with other clients.Joseph Compitello had my case dismissed after a 10 week lengthy tria...l.He had my best interest at heart and represented me professionally and without prejudice.Anytime i called the office,there was always someone to answer the phone and direct me to where i needed to go.I would recommend this firm and Joseph Compitello to anyone with legal issues without hesitation.My legal issue was considered a rare type of restraining order filed against me which caused me tremendous hardship and anxiety.Feeling confident that i was in good hands relieved me of a tremendous amount of anxiety while this case was going on thanks to the professionalism of Joseph Campitello and the Jef Henninger law firm.I would use them again without hesitation.

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.

The Best DYFS Lawyer

Jef is a valuable resource for anyone facing off against DYFS or similar government organization. Being accused of anything is frightening, but even more so when the claim is false and made maliciously. Jef made my family feel like we had power in our corner to level the playing field. In short he ac...complished in days what it would have taken us months to do on our own. In the end we were completely cleared and never bothered again. He knows the system and the players very well and works that to your advantage. Jef may not be the cheapest lawyer out there, but he is the best. We would turn to him again in a heartbeat if the need came along.
