Hiring Craig as my divorce attorney was the best move I could have made. Professional, competent and hard working. He explained the divorce process at the outset, and told me what I could expect at our first consultation. He was pretty much spot on. If your in need of a divorce attorney, look no further. I couldn’t recommend him more highly
I used Craig for my divorce, and I'm truly lucky to have I found him. My divorce was very complex and lasted roughly 3.5 years. It included experts, mediators, several judges, and a long trial that seemed to drag on forever.
Throughout the entire process Craig was always honest, hardworking, and fair. He prepared my case painstakingly, giving me the best possible chance for a positive outcome. During the trial, which was very stressful to say the least, I never wondered if I had the better attorney. Thankfully, when the trial finally concluded, the most valued issues that we fought years for were decided in my favor.
Lastly, divorce in general is horrendous. At the very least go into the process knowing you have the best attorney out there. For my money, hands down, they don't come any better then Craig Laughlin!

Ownership of house transfer
I have known Craig Laughlin for a very long time, but have never had the need for his expert legal services until a year ago. While the transfer of ownership to my house was not in his legal wheelhouse, this did not deter him from doing an outstanding job for me. I have always known Craig to be innovative and knowledgeable person, but the fact that he was willing and able to go the extra yard for me, truly made all the difference in my world. I could not have done this without him and I am very appreciative that he was there for me in my time of need. I would highly recommend Mr. Laughlin and his firm with any legal matter you find yourself involved with. If they are not able to assist you, they will go out of their way to point you in the right direction and get you the support you require. Thank you again!

Genuinely nice guy, professional and honest...and funny!
Mr. Laughlin was recommended to me by an attorney friend and rightly so. He turned out to be honest, thorough and a delight to work with. He helped me out with a child support issue and had in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. He made an effort to acquaint himself fully with the facts of my case and was always available to talk to directly. His pricing was fair and he got the job done. He is not some sleazy attorney who will string you along just to take your money.

A lawyer you can trust
Mr. Laughlin represented me in my divorce.
When I decided that I was going to file for divorce, it was a very traumatic time for me. I didn't know where to start. I looked in the NJ Monthly magazine "Top Lawyers" edition to try to find a lawyer. Mr Laughlin was the first lawyer I called. When I met him he was professional, yet personable. He walked me through the process, step by step. Always made me feel comfortable. He gave me knowledgeable advice but supported my decisions. He kept me updated and moved things along as quickly as he could for my benefit. He responded to my calls & emails personally and promptly. I was very pleased with his services - he truly is the "tops".

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.

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 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

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.

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 everyone I know to seek help elsewhere, and hopefully whoever reads this follows suit!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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"
