Excellent communicator who gets results

I strongly recommend Tanis Deitch for anyone seeking a tough but compassionate advocate to resolve the difficult issues emanating from divorce. Had I been pro-active and found Tanis from the beginning, no doubt I would have been spared a great deal of anguish and time. She is easy to talk to; I app...reciated her frankness and clear articulation of what I could expect to achieve in my particular circumstance. Most importantly, she was accessible and always responded in timely fashion. Tanis Deitch is an excellent attorney.

The BEST Lawyer!

I contacted Attorney Tanis Deitch a year after my divorce been settled by another attorney. Unfortunately, My ex-husband was not living up to the divorce decree and I was not obtaining assistance. My divorce had complicated factors, so I was getting nowhere. I needed someone to start resolving all th...e little problems as well as to concentrate on the big issues so I was able to move on with my life. I saw Tanis for a consultation. She was so patient, very professional and thorough. Tanis was able to make me feel at ease and well taken care of. Tanis helped me understand the process, the time frames involved, and helped me see “the big picture” and all of a sudden my impossible problems seemed possible to overcome. Tanis always returned my phone calls and responded to my emails. Tanis spent time in court and fought passionately for me. Her presentations to the judge were extremely well versed and given in a very strong professional manner, that I was able to see the respect the Judge had for Tanis. I felt so comfortable knowing that Tanis Deitch represented me. She fought and succeeded in every aspect of what was left undone and now I am at peace in my heart and soul because of her talent and professionalism. I feel that Tanis takes her cases to heart. I wish I had chosen Tanis Deitch in the beginning to represent me in my divorce. But I was fortunate to find her to settle the unsettled. The staff at the firm as well was wonderful, warm and friendly and always, as well, responded to my needs. I am grateful!!! I wholeheartedly recommend Tanis Deitch and her staff to anyone who need a great attorney and Law Firm - to know you are in the best hands-is priceless when going through a tough time.

Real Estate Closing

This office is very knowledgeable, Worked through a nightmare closing while selling my home, Ms. Deitch was in my corner and to my benefit kept me cool when I wanted to explode! Her right hand Arlene is prompt, courteous, professional... this place was a home run in a very tough time for me. I have ...found Legal assistance I trust and have recommended already!

Out of 4 she is definetely the best.

In the last couple of years I had to deal with different lawyers for different personal matters that have shown up unexpectedly, so I can honestly distinguish a good lawyer from a mediocre one. She explained to me what to expect and what can I actually do to resolve my case, didnt give me false hopes... and went right to the point. Most impressive was her charges, considering the rates going on with lawyers right now, her rates are very economical, but what really surprised me is that she is so fair that even returned some of the money I originally paid her, she is the first lawyer that I know that did that. In conclusion if you need a good family lawyer talk to her first and judge for yourself, I believe she also deals with personal injury cases.

Incredible Advocate for our Son

Tanis was incredible to work with. We had worked with another lawyer previously regarding immigration and custody for our son but she mishandled our case and actually had greatly damaged our chances for proper custody of our adopted son who was also fighting for his immigration status at the time. ... Then we were introduced to Tanis by our new immigration lawyer in Freehold. She took our case, walked us through every detail, was up front and highly personable with us, informative and fought hard for us to get what we wanted and needed from the court system to ensure our son could move forward with his immigration case. She was faced with many challenges from our case as things had not been done right the first time, but she did her due diligence and research, and stood her ground in court with us and was our voice. Standing in front of a judge is not an easy thing to do and Tanis made it a comfortable situation. Lawyers can often get a bad wrap and I admit I was very gun shy after the experience with our first lawyer on this case, but Tanis changed our whole perspective. In the end we were able to help our son get his green card and we now have full custody of him and he is able to live his life free of fear. Months later when we got the news Tanis was the first person we contacted to let her know her work had paid off. I would highly recommend Tanis as someone who cares deeply about her clients and their rights, is patient and thorough, caring, responsive, and someone with a high degree of integrity and trustworthiness. You won't go wrong having her on your side.

"Tanis Deitch is an extraordinarily thorough attorney and the quintessential professional. She is a highly ethical attorney and a zealous representative for all of her clients. Her law partner and her entire staff are very knowledgeable. Tanis does not have a myopic perspective on cases; rather, she can see the broad implications of many other areas of law as they impact her clients, including the ramifications of pending immigration issues, pension concerns, previous crimes and more. She is practical, brilliant and a pleasure to deal with at all times."
