About Frank
Biography
I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and after college worked in the financial sector for several years before and during law school. I clerked with the Honorable Justice Morris Pashman and worked with John Finnerty, a pioneer in the area of divorce and Family Law. My unique background and skill set has enabled me to understand and effectively advocate for my clients.

Top Notch
Upon hiring Frank Larocca he was communicative, helpful, explained the entire process, very patient with my concerns and questions. He returned all emails in a professional and timely fashion. He was also sensitive to the heartache that goes along with the process .

I would highly recommend Frank J. LaRocca
I am going through a domestic violence separation from a crazy narcissist. Mr. LaRocca made me feel at ease and helped guide me through the process. Mr. LaRocca not only took the time to return every call, email, text and answer every question - he made sure to keep me informed of any possible situat...

One of the Best
Frank LaRocca is a top notch attorney, who I strongly recommend to friends and family. He is confident, knowledgable, and a cut above the rest.

Frank LaRocca review/recommendation
Frank is a professional. He knows the law as well as the ins and outs of the system not to mention how the adversary thinks. He plans in advance and lets you know the pros/cons of each situation so you go in eyes wide open. Frank has been represented in my divorce and has made numerous appearances...

Post judgement
Frank was not interested in my case. He was condensing and argumentative. I came to him because I really needed his help. He pushed most of the work to his associate, whom I didn't hire. He told me there was nothing else he could do for me which is untrue because now I'm facing large legal bills wit...
Frank J. LaRocca's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Frank is a great family law attorney. I have had him as an adversary many times, and he is always formidable. He is always aggressive and well prepared, but always willing to resolve issues so long as they are fair to his client. He has great insight, which also makes him a top shelf divorce mediator. I have used him many times as a mediator, and he has always been able to resolve my cases. Highly professional, and totally ethical. Really great attorney."
"I first met Mr. Larocca as a mediator perhaps 10 years ago. Recently from 20113 until 2015 he became my adversary in a high net worth family law matter involving divorce, domestic violence, and subsequent family relocation case. The parties initially were very non-amicable and litigious and the issues got very intense for them at select times. Where lesser lawyers would have simply walked away from the representation, Frank was able to remain focused, calm, diligent, professional, honest and constant in his representations and presentations. While there was litigation early on, over time with the continued constant professionalism displayed, It allowed the parties to finally have a meeting of the minds, arrive at a peaceful settlement treaty by consent, and allowed the family post divorce to become closer than when it began. I endorse this lawyer and look forward to working with him in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. Frank is a former partner of mine who is a very competent attorney. When we worked together, the mirrored my passion for the causes we undertook and the clients we represented. We accomplished some pretty spectacular results in a case we undertook. I am proud that he has gone on to establish his own practice. He takes what he does seriously and he is a committed advocate."
"I endorse this lawyer. Frank is a competent and fair attorney who works hard for his clients. He has a great sense of fairness and if he feels his clients are being treated unfairly he fights to right the wrong."
"I have had multiple cases with Frank as the opposing counsel. He is an honest, reasonable and professional while still zealously representing his client's interests. No matter how difficult the case may be Frank always remains above the fray."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had many cases with this lawyer and his firm. He is an extremely honest and professional person. He is also a zealous but fair advocate for his clients. His style is collaborative yet assertive when necessary. One of the rare attorneys one comes across that actually means and does what he says."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. LaRocca is unquestionably one of the top matrimonial lawyers in New Jersey. His knowledge of the law is second to none. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight hard for you and who is a pitbull in Court, this is the guy you need to hire."
"Frank is the constant professional that truly cares for his clients. He is a strong advocate, that knows the law, and practices with the utmost integrity. I highly endorse this attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I worked for Frank and continue to work for him of counsel. He taught me everything I know about family law and continues to be the best mentor when I need one. He is the one you want when you have a high conflict divorce."
