Satisfied Divorcee

I was referred to Tanis by a co-worker after learning that my wife was filing for divorce. Tanis is extremely knowledgeable and is well respected within Family court. She was able to get me what I wanted as far as custody and visitation with my daughter. Tanis has gone above and beyond what my ex...pectations were, answering questions even after my final judgement of divorce was given. She made the process easier. I trust Tanis with any issues regarding family court manners.

Divorce and Custody case

Tanis is a fantastic lawyer! I moved here from another state and contacted Tanis after finding her on this site. With in a few months we were able to get a child support order and custody order in place. Since I had just moved up here I had to wait 12 months before my actual divorce. Tanis really to...ok the time to hear my concerns and address them. She fought for what I deserved not what was being offered by the other party. When it came time for the actual divorce proceedings, all of the details were done. Custody, Visitation, property, child support, all of the things you might not even think of were taken care of in a timely matter. I have heard some people say that their lawyer is only interested in the money, but that is not Tanis. She really cares about you as a person and helping you through your situation. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce, especially if custody is involved. She will push for what's right, but she will also advise you when to compromise. Ultimately though she will let you make the decision. Tanis and her staff really made a difference in my life and guided me through a emotionally charged situation with grace and class. She made my divorce an easier process than I had anticipated.

An excellent attorney

Tanis has been my attorney since my divorce in 2007. I had to retain her again in 2012 when my ex husband sued me for full custody. It was the most difficult time in my life and she was so caring and compassionate. She is not the typical attorney who is just concerned with racking up a bill. Tanis... advised me and cared about my well being during a very difficult situation. I would recommend her to anyone because she is an excellent attorney and really cares about her clients.

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.

Excellent representation

Tanis handled a complex Motion for Custody leading to qualification under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Tanis was easy to contact and made herself available whenever I had a question or concern. Her staff was proactive in every way, quickly sending me any required document...s or materials. I was impressed by how quickly she processed our case and the personal interest she took in the matter. When the judge heard our case, it was obvious he respected her as a professional. I believe this helped us get a positive result.
