Claire Scully

Claire Scully is an exceptional attorney and was a sincere advocate throughout my entire family court process. One of Claire’s many positive attributes is her ability to combine a non-adversarial strategy while at the same time fully supporting everyone of my concerns. I cannot express enough how mu...ch her counsel and sincerity were appreciated. Being in the middle of a family court dispute is never a desirable place to find oneself but I was much better off having had Claire and her staff (Felicia) in my corner. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone in need of experienced and skillful counsel for all their family court needs.

Claire helped me navigate my non-dissolution child support case based on the updated 2017 NJ CS statute, with the goal of relieving my financial obligations towards continuing my child's CS beyond 19 years of age. The care-provider mother of the child was motivated to tell the courts that he was dis...abled (as argued previously at hearings where they were undeniably bias towards her inadequate evidence). The updated NJ CS law requires a clearer argument of disability, and requires the primary care provider to show real burden of proof, in order to delay CS relief beyond 19 years of age. Claire (and her assistant) were masterful in their legal knowledge and experience. Claire was rigorous in her consideration of scenarios and answered all of my MANY questions. Her advice was quite astute, with a no-nonsense approach that gave me peace-of-mind in a terribly frustrating situation. I am pleased to say we ultimately were successful in ending the CS obligation. Her expertise in the matters of CS is worth every penny of the retainer cost. I offer my highest recommendation for her to anyone in NJ wishing to seek relief in the context of prolonged or dubious CS obligations.

Mine was long complex and difficult case when I brought it to Claire almost 2 years ago. Divorced in 1999 for 18 years I've been alienated from my daughters by an abusive and bitter ex. I was summarily denied in every motion filed over that time while my ex was awarded exorbitant child support, lied... to the court and kept my kids from me. But Claire took the time to understand the history, listen to my concerns and collaborate with me on our strategy. Today the court granted virtually every request we made and my ex’s attempts to keep kids in college for over 8 years, put liens on our home, and savings and worse were all denied. My daughters, now 23 and 28, are both emancipated, my arrears covered by overpaid support and the support order terminated! This decision effectively ends almost 20 years of exorbitant support, fear and anxiety of bench warrants, handcuffs and county jail, liens, tax audits, losing my home, harassment, anxiety, anger and frustration for me, my wonderful spouse for the past 17 years and the child eveyone has forgotten - my exceptionally talented and beautiful 15 year old daughter. We can now support her with the education and lifestyle she so deserves and perhaps even begin the process of reconciling with my estranged adult daughters. Claire accomplished far more for me than all 3 of the previous family law attorney's I've engaged - combined! She and her office are truly talented caring professionals whose expertise and compassion are uncommon in family law. Please don't hesitate and contact Claire to discuss your case.

Ms. Scully helped me with my divorce which included a wide variety of problems -- restraining order, child support, custody, alimony and division of a family owned business. She handled all my concerns thoroughly and completely to my satisfaction. Her hard work, honesty and compassion got me and my... family through all these matters with our needs first. She was always available and never left me feeling alone. She is nothing short of amazing!!
