The Best

Ms. Scafuri is absolutely the best divorce/family attorney you could retain. She is competent, thorough, fair, cares about her clients, and truly fights for your rights. I have personally employed and recommended Angela to male and female clients for both divorce and child support/custody issues. If ...you need assistance in any family matter, there is no better attorney in New Jersey. Full Stop.

Posted by Jim | August 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent Lawyer, Very Professional, Skillful in Negotiation

Angela Scafuri was able to skillfully analyze our case for visitation rights and to negotiate a very good resolution. This was done in an atmosphere of negativity and attempted legal road blocks by the biological parents. Angela never lost sight of our needs and always presented our case with the b...est interests of our grand-nephew as the primary objective. I would recommend her in any family law proceeding and would do so with the confidence that her knowledge, ethics and guidance would serve the client very well. She conducts herself professionally and was able to secure visitation rights for us where opposing parties had maintained no such visitation rights existed for us to visit our grand-nephew. Angela was able to secure a court approved visitation schedule when the opposing parties said no such agreement should be granted.

Zealous, Ethical, Intelligent, Professional

Angela handled my divorce and subsequent actions from initial filing, through pendente lite, divorce award, and numerous post divorce award actions. She represented me with great tenacity, and with a professionalism and legal acumen that frankly (and as anyone will tell you), can be absent from these... proceedings. Her unassailable character and professionalism helped to keep me together through this awful time. Also importantly, her billing was fair accurate and completely transparent. I recommend Angela without any reservation.

An Excellent Attorney throughout my Divorce Proceedings

Angela proved to be an excellent advocate, resource, planner, negotiator, and all around helpful partner in my divorce proceedings. She was extremely professional and had a wealth of knowledge and experience to drill down into the details to help protect my interests. She was also able to make the en...tire drawn-out procedure less stressful than it might have been, which was certainly a great bonus. She went through all of the divorce agreements with me, section by section, to help explain and distill any issues that may arise and to include any language needed to protect my concerns - whether they were monetary, custodial, or the health and welfare of my children. I truly appreciate her work and the work of her team of associates. Therefore, I highly recommend her and the entire team for any such litigation one would need.

Dissolution of Civil Union

I was represented by Angela in the Dissolution of a Same Sex Civil Union in NJ. I was immediately comfortable in our first meeting as she showed compassion in a very stressful situation. Angela skillfully and professionally negotiated a very fair agreement. Angela was strong and steady which was very... appreciated. She always kept an emotional situation calm and on course. I would strongly endorse/recommend Angela to anyone needing an attorney in any matrimonial situation.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
