I am a tenacious and compassionate attorney who is laser-focused on strategy. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach in family law: strategy must be carefully curated based on the issues, personalities, and circumstances involved in each matter.
There is no higher professional calling than to be a competent, dedicated guide to the client and to assist the client in navigating through a fog of unfamiliar concepts, confusing rules, complicated relationships, and often intimidating actions of the other party.
In accordance with those principles, I represent clients in all aspects of family law litigation, including divorce, custody, relocation, child support, alimony, college contribution, equitable distribution, post-judgment applications, enforcement applications, prenuptial agreements, mid-marriage agreements, appeals and mediation. My practice is devoted exclusively to matrimonial and family law. I am also a Court-approved Family Law Mediator.
I attended the University of Rochester and graduated cum laude, with a Bachelor Degree in International Relations and French. Prior to attending law school, I was a paralegal in the White Collar Crime section of the litigation department at Nixon Peabody, LLP, a global law firm. I earned my Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Rutgers Law School, during which I worked for the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. After graduating from law school, I served as a law clerk to the Honorable Fred H. Kumpf (Recall J.S.C.) in the Civil Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset County and, thereafter, was a litigation associate at Piro, Zinna, Cifelli, Paris & Genitempo, LLC.
My practice is devoted exclusively to matrimonial and family law.

Strategic, Thorough and Compassionate Representation
Highly recommend Ms. Romanova! I so appreciated not only her expertise and experience, but her thoughtful and compassionate approach in guiding me through the divorce process. She truly listened to my situation and worked in partnership to strategize an approach that felt just right for me.
