Exceptional

( 2022) I had a post-divorce dilemma and needed an attorney. I did not use an attorney for my initial divorce, instead, I went with a paralegal service which was what I could afford. My ex-husband suddenly had an epiphany after 9 years of being divorced that he disagreed with the final divorce judg...ments. I searched the internet for an attorney after being notified by his representative but never came across Robin & Salvatore so I asked my neighbor and he got her number from a friend who had used her. In my gut, I felt I should not look any further and I did not. I met with Robin and her partner Dave and immediately I knew I made the right choice. I sat down with Robin and reviewed the dilemma and I felt relief! She made me feel comfortable, she is knowledgeable and professional in every aspect. During the process, communication with Robin, Dave, and their office staff was seamless! I never had to wonder what was next because they kept the line of communication open. Through it all I felt heard and understood. All worked out in my favor for me and my kids. I cried solitary and prayed and asked God to continue to guide and protect Robin, Dave, and her staff while giving them the strength to do what they do in people's lives. It was an excellent experience in many ways, personal and professional . I am grateful to Robin and her dynamic team. If I ever need an attorney under the umbrella that she practices, I know who to call and who to recommend when asked. “ Wernik & Salvatore”

ROBIN IS FANTASTIC

Robin Wernik was my divorce attorney. She was absolutely amazing throughout the entirety of my long, drawn out, difficult divorce. Robin is extremely knowledgeable. Her expertise and professionalism helped me navigate through a very difficult time. Robin is aggressive, strong and compassionate an...d always made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. Robin was very accessible, Between herself and her amazing office staff, her response time (via email, phone call and/or text) was always very quick. I highly recommend Robin. I am confident you will be pleased with the results of your case with Robin as your advocate.

Restored my faith in lawyers

Looking for a divorce lawyer, we chose Robin based on her reputation and reviews. She also did wills for us, powers of attorney etc. While she could not represent us in NJ (for the divorce) she got us a lawyer in NY. She is honest and trustworthy because she could have kept the case in NJ but it w...ould not have been best for the client. Also, with all the work she did for us we were surprised we did not go over the retainer we gave her. Aside from being a really nice person, she is a dynamic lawyer, honest and caring - her client has Stage 4 cancer among other things and she never fails to ask how he is. Her staff is wonderful as well.

I highly recommend. Awesome attorney!

Robin represented me a few years ago in a divorce matter and I was searching for her information to refer her to a friend. I was SHOCKED when I saw a poor review. I remember her being a competent and sensitive attorney. She always cared about my emotional needs, as well as my economic situation. ...She is well respected by her her peers...and I could not have felt more comfortable working with her. She is a fierce advocate and I walked away extremely happy with my results. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Knoweledgeable, Compassionate, and Responsive

Robin and her team provided outstanding legal guidance and support during my divorce. Whenever I had any issues, she was very responsive via email, phone, and text. Robin is caring, passionate, dedicated, and very knowledgeable. She is someone you want to help you during life's most stressful time...s. I highly recommend her.

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.
