Tough, detail oriented, and wonderful to work with.

My experience of Ernest as my lawyer has been that he is very warm and gets lots done with my time with him.

Knowledgeable Family Law Attorney

Atty. Ernest Ianneti is very knowledgeable in his chosen field. He is very thorough in explaining to me the family court system and the best interest of the child. I am very happy and satisfied with his service and will recommend him to others as well.

Honest, sincere attorney who really helped me

Mr. Ianetti represented me in a serious criminal case where I was charged w/ attempted murder. This was a case where I was involved in a fight with three other people and one of them used a knife and almost killed her victim. Throughout the year and a half this case was pending, Mr. Ianetti met wit...h me and constantly reassured me that he he could resolve the case in a manner that kept me out of jail. Even when the trial started and I was scared to death, he kept calm and worked toward a resolution. In the middle of the trial the prosecution offere me a deal that was like a gift from heaven. Today, I've got me life back and looking forward to future I didn't thnik I would have.

Really Did a Good Job for Me!

I had a criminal case in Union County, NJ. I am in my 40's with no prior record and wanted to get into PTI so I wouldn't have a record, but my case was pretty serious and the prosecutor really wanted to play hardball. Ernest just took it in stride and insisted that the State treat me fairly. And, ...believe it or not, in the end they did. I have seen attorneys argue and grandstand, but Ernest was just calm and straight forward with his eye on the prize - a great result for me. Thanks.
