Above and Beyond

I originally was referred to Rosanne Detorres from the areas regional prosecutor. Rosanne was my divorce attorney and my immediate reaction when consulting with her, was that she was professional, but also gave me the feeling that I was talking to my sister about my problems, not an attorney. When r...epresenting me in court, she was quick, assertive, confident... she just nailed it. I got everything I asked for and things I didn't even know to ask for. Her staff is great too. When I have reached out to her through her website, I've received personal emails back from her, along with detailed thoughts and advice; which I feel is outstanding and goes above and beyond expectations of dealing with an attorney. Her practice does stand out among other attorneys in the Flemington area. Highly recommended!!!

Save Yourself Time & Money- Hire Rosanne DeTorres

I wish I had found Rosanne DeTorres sooner. Her work ethic, vast knowledge and level of honest service make her stand apart from the rest. If you have been looking for the best of the best of lawyers to represent you in either a new matter or to take over in a long, difficult case, save yourself t...ime and look no further. Roseanne and her staff successfully completed my complicated matter, and I am very grateful to them!

Divorce Mediation

As you are aware my ex wife and I decided to separate in December 2009 and asked you to provide mediation to help me through a divorce. During our first meeting you outlined the mediation process and gathered all the relevant information needed to start moving forward. During the course of our six pl...us meetings you clearly stated the laws around alimony, child care and support and division of assets that would be necessary to formally end the marriage. It was then up to my ex wife and I to determine which direction we wanted to go and what we were willing to accept and give up. Your mediation skills came to light when you forced my ex and I to have dialog in your office, one on one, while you remained the neutral party. Although those meetings were somewhat tense, through your help, we always made progress and left the office with "take aways" that we needed to consider prior to our next meeting with you. Ultimately, through your assistance, I was able to complete my divorce, separation to court judgment, in just four months. I feel the divorce settlement I received was a fair one that divided my assets but gave me joint parenting custody of my son Dale. Instead of spending thousands of dollars and months (or years) of litigation with my ex wife, I was able to put this divorce behind me and move forward with my life, all thanks to you. I would highly recommend you to anyone going through a painful process divorce. You can feel free to have any of your prospective clients contact me directly regarding my experience with your firm.

Nancy Connor, Connor Consultants, LLC, Principal

As the former Executive Director of SAFE in Hunterdon I whole heartedly recommend Rosanne DeTorres. I have personally watched Roseanne passionately argue to obtain the best legal protection(s) and achieve successful legal victories for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. These were victi...ms of violence who were facing difficult and dangerous situations in their lives. I use Rosanne DeTorres for my personal legal matters, since leaving SAFE in Hunterdon. I am always impressed by her attention to detail and ability to be clear in communicating legal expectations. I believe she is a person who is most respectful, compassionate and resourceful in each matter I bring to her attention.

Rosanne Detorres is Fantastic!

Rosanne represented me in my divorce a few years ago and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. She and her assistant made a very emotional and difficult situation much easier than it could've been. Rosanne is extremely professional and relies on her experience to provide sound advice and gui...dance, while also being kind and understanding, which is just as valuable. Rosanne's assistant was also always responsive, professional and helpful. Subsequent to my divorce, I utilized Rosanne's services to rewrite my Will, Power of Attorney and Health Directive and on my recommendation, my Mother and boyfriend did the same. They were both very happy with the recommendation!
