Initial Consultation with Eric Solotoff

I have not yet actually retained Mr. Solotoff. He provided me with a free initial consultant that was outstanding. Before contacting him, I spoke with 5 other NJ lawyers and none conducted an initial consultation with as much good humor, detail, patience, and optimism as did Mr. Solotoff. I am not... yet sure I can afford his fees or his $7500.00 retainer, but if I can, he will be my number one choice.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Eric for about ten years since we found ourselves on opposite ends of highly complex divorce matter. Eric is a consummate professional and he is well respected by his peers and judges alike. If you hire him, you can expect an aggressive, tenacious and highly competent litigator, who artfully blends those traits with a terrific command of common sense in order to craft reasonable and practical solutions for his clients."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
