If you're READING this, call. AMAZING attorney.

If you need a family law attorney that will bend over backwards for you Neil is one of the best. He absolutely crushed my case to the point where the opposition just crumbled to pieces. If you want response time, professional advise, knowledge, and commitment then call him immediately if you're... in the tri-state and or especially Middlesex County seeking help on family matters. Thanks Counselor Cerreto. A++.

Mr. Aniello Cerreto is the lawyer for you. He is a lawyer with a heart....

Mr. Cerreto is very professional, knows the laws very well. He was always reliable and completley understood my point of view and always had my best interest at heart. Due to all his experience, he has such foresight into the matters and the best part, he likes to handle all situations with a peace...ful approach. I would recomment him to everyone I know. Mr. Cerreto makes the process as painless as possible truly listening to your concerns and ultimately when everything is said and done, it was done fairly, peacefully and with the least amount of pain as possible. From our first visit, he just made you feel comfortable and you can tell his is a very attentive and caring individual who truly wants to help...

Neil gets the job done

Going thru divorce in New Jersey is not easy for both sides I had serveral NJ lawyers handling my case. I kept hoping the next one would be better than the last one. I met Neil, it took sometime due to the courts but shortly after he got the case under control and got a me a settlement that I could... live with. If your having a legal problem give him a call after talking to him you'll see what I mean. He is super to work with and was very fair. You won't meet many like him....Thanks Neil again for all your help!

Mr. Cerreto a true peoples attorney

Mr. Cerreto is a true peoples attorney who I highly recommend. He is very professional, understanding, personable, efficient and reasonable. NJ law and most attorney's may not get you what you want but Aniello will get you what you need! He goes the extra mile to educate you and assist you in getting... a fair shake in NJ especially when you feel blind slided by your ex-spouse. Aniello responds to all questions, emails, phone calls and on weekends too. He is considerate of your feelings and makes the journey a happy one in a difficult situation. As a male on the opposite side of the spectrum where at times the stereo type is that the female gets everything, well, I was glad I found Aniello. He did everything by the law and I was very pleased with the outcome. He is a true peoples attorney a real champion in the arena of divorce court.
