Very unprofessional!

Very unprofessional, practically yelled at me over the phone when I asked a question and his receptionists were no better! Both very rude, I cannot stress enough to you to FIND A DIFFERENT LAW FIRM to handle your account! Only hire this man if you like being spoken down to! Will make sure to advise e...veryone I know to seek help elsewhere, and hopefully whoever reads this follows suit!

THE BEST

I have worked with Mr. Laughlin for well over 2 years, and will continue to work with him as needed. I have also worked with several other lawyers, and I HIGHLY recommend Craig. He is HONEST and upfront and if you can't deal with the truth use another lawyer.

Great family law attorney Monnouth County, NJ

I found Mr. Laughlin to be an extremely competent attorney and i recommend him very highly! Unfortunately for me, I have hired many attorneys in my primary businesses (employees law suits, personal injury law suits, workers compensation, bill collection, contract law, etc.) and I have had few if ...any attorneys I would strongly recommend. Sadly I had need to hire Mr. laughlin for my personal divorce and after having gone through this legal process for the first and hopefully only time, I couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone other than Mr Laughlin. I believe I reached a fair and timely settlement with my ex-wife largely because of Mr Laughlin's knowledge and skill as a family law attorney. He has a very direct and no nonsense style which I appreciated tremendously. He removed as much drama as possible from the other side which I believe allowed me to reach a suitable settlement much faster and requiring less legal fees than another attorney might have required. If you want a strong, competent and professional family law attorney than I would highly recommend Mr Laughlin. I do not think you can ever be "out-lawyered" in Monmouth County with Mr Laughlin as your counsel. Sincerely ????? (My name can be provided by Mr laughlin if you would like to speak with me directly for a personal reference.) President High Technology Company Monmouth County, NJ.

A matrimonial attorney who won't take advantage of you financially and will fight for your best interest!

Craig took over my post divorce case after his associate left the practice. He helped me through obtaining 5 QDRO's and Support obligation matters. He was professional, knowledgable, strong and never once led me in a direction that would benefit him financially. He was aware of my tight financial ...situation and would always suggest what would be most cost effective for me but also get me the outcome that I deserved. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone going through a divorce and/or Custody situation.

Great Lawyer

Craig represented me on a Municipal Court matter and did an excellent job! He was professional and always kept me advised of the status of my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone.

"I have known Craig for almost 30 years, first as a law school colleague, and then as a fellow Monmouth County practitioner. Craig is as knowledgeable about family law matters as any attorney in our area. He is also a zealous advocate for his clients, and was a fair and courteous adversary when we have been on opposing sides. I endorse Craig without hesitation"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
