THE BEST

I cannot express my gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Angela Scafuri. My divorce continues to be contentious with a mother who chooses to counter partner vs co-parent and constantly uses the child and lies to use the court to her advantage. Navigating the complexities of fam...ily court can be emotionally draining but Angela has demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and empathy thus far throughout the process. Nobody wins in divorce but in my case, especially myself and my child needed to be protected. Angela was there to protect us around every corner and fought against every new tactic used by the other side. Before finding Angela, I went through four attorneys who refused to even speak on my behalf. That type of representation left myself and my child unprotected and open to abuse through the court system. Angela has been the difference maker that started to turn my case around and set boundaries. I wholeheartedly recommend Angeal to anyone seeking a family attorney. I’m extremely grateful for her expertise, guidance, and support. After spending money / retainers on four other attorneys and seeing how they practice, I feel fortunate to have such a skilled and caring advocate by myside protecting myself and child.

As good as it gets

Angela. Angela. Angela. The "circus", that is the divorce process, is harrowing and not for the feint of heart. Fraught with lies, deceit, and a virtual smorgasbord of all things unpleasant to say the least. An absolute must have, is an experienced attorney, whom embodies integrity, intellige...nce, and essentially all things lacking in the process itself. That's Angela Scafuri! Angela Scafuri, is by far, one of the most honest, knowledgeable, and caring divorce attorneys you can have by your side, during a divorce process, that is anything BUT. Her ability to guide you with integrity and compassion, will often times, temper the emotional decisions one tends to make in the heat of the moment. Couple that with some good, old fashioned tough love, her straight forward advice, will always see you out of the woods safely. I can't stress how different my divorce proceedings have been, since I had Angela on my side. There's no alternative.

Highest Recommendation

When encountering a life changing event such as a divorce, nothing is more paramount than finding the correct person for the proceedings. As the owner of three businesses, I know how difficult it can be to hire the right person for the job and, unfortunately, this often becomes a case of trial and e...rror. It was then, to my delight, that the first person that I picked as representation, Angela, exceeded my expectations. Within one session, she was able to facilitate an agreement that was satisfactory to all involved. She also showed incredible compassion, a trait that I find admirable and is also a necessity in these type of situations. My wife also noted the compassion showed by Angela and it is this compassion that helped to create a smooth experience from what most would view a not pleasurable situation. I close this review by giving Angela the highest possible recommendation and would recommend her to anyone that may benefit from her professionalism.

Wonderful advocate during divorce

Angela was a strong advocate for myself and my children's best interests during my lengthy and difficult divorce. Her knowledge and professionalism was excellent and she was able to negotiate acceptable options with a challenging adversary. She also showed empathy and understanding throughout the p...rocess from our initial consultation to signing the settlement agreement.

Excellent Law Firm

After 2 failed attempts at Family Court to uphold my Divorce Decree I now was being sued by the State of NJ. My Ex abandoned our home and an LLC was pushing hard to foreclose on my. I searched, found this firm, and we had a consultation to discuss my case. Angela worked miracles, getting me Power of ...Attorney so I could sell the property, and enforcing the original Divorce Decree which was almost 10 years old. She is a great Lawyer representing an outstanding legal firm. I am 100% satisfied with them and the outcome.
