Excellent communication and legal skills

Tom did an outstanding job with what some would consider a nearly impossible motion and legal action. He was patient, very communicative, friendly and perseverant. He answered every question I had for him with fluency of the law and expediency. I highly recommend his services and will use him aga...in, if needed!

The Best Attorney

As most can attest, having to defend yourself in court is not always a pleasant experience and at best you're hoping for a positive outcome. In the case of TRO defenses, positive outcomes can be put into three categories: 1) Good - Plaintiff dismisses TRO with conditions w/o trial 2) Better - Case... dismissed after judge listens to both parties 3) Best - Case dismissed after Plaintiff's testimony w/o Defense testimony My personal experience was that Tom was able to get me the "BEST" possible outcome by having my case dismissed without Defense testimony. His knowledge of the law is impeccable and trust me on this one, being smart and knowing the law are two different things. Tom's knowledge of the law is what ultimately got my case dismissed without me saying a word in court.

The absolute best attorney in NJ!

"It was the absolute best positive experience working with Tom Ercolano and the Tormey Law Group. Tom and his team provided me superior quality service, and he got me the result I wanted. He is extremely knowledgeable and fantastic in court. He made me feel completely relaxed and insured that my nee...ds were met. Tom and everyone at the Tormey Law Group made me feel as if I was their #1 priority and that everyone was invested in me and my case. They were easily accessible, got back to me quicker than I could ever anticipate, were aggressive in court and most importantly, got the job done. Tom, his associates, and his staff are the quality of a law group that anyone would want when hiring a family law attorney, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is in need of an attorney!

Great Attorney

I hired Tom's firm recently. Tom was knowledgeable, patient, helpful and kind. If I ever need an attorney again, I would definitely call him.

Exceptional Attorney

I hired Tom Ercolano after a horrible run in with DCFS. I hired him and he truly is the reason I came out of this mess intact. He took care of all of my concerns, explained everything regarding my case that I did not understand and he put my anxiety and nerves at ease. He was calm, cordial, professio...nal but at the same time made me feel like a friend. I could not be more pleased with the results of my now CLOSED case. For anyone looking for an attorney to handle their case I highly recommend hiring Mr. Ercolano.
