Highly recommended family lawyer

Highly recommend Jeff for anyone in need of an excellent family attorney. As a dad in NJ, I felt like the odds were stacked against me from the start. My case dragged on for months, but Jeff never gave up—he kept pushing and ultimately got me a resolution that was more than fair. Don’t go through the... courts alone. If you’re fighting for your fair share of custody, Jeff is the guy you want in your corner.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend hiring Jeff if you have custody issues. He understands the NJ family court system and helped me from day one. I hired him for an emergent custody case and he handled everything including the emergent custody hearing we had within three days of being hired. I cannot praise him enoug...h for his continuous help. Thank you Jeff!

Rock star or Rock of Gibraltar? Both.

Jeffrey Alan Kerstetter represented me in a complex multi-month custody dispute. Throughout this time, he was an effective and timely communicator. His knowledge and experience were immediately evident during the first consultation. He was a constant voice of reason and wisdom. I never had reason to ...question any of his counsel, and regularly deferred to his judgment. Let the expert be the expert. I’m not a lawyer, I’m a businessman. I took one business law class in grad school. But when your kids are at stake, it’s no time to go in Pro Se and you don’t settle for second best with lawyers. I needed experienced, knowledgeable, and professional representation - and that is exactly what I got with Jeff. I was extremely impressed throughout negotiations, document preparation, and appearance. I cannot recommend Jeff Kerstetter highly enough. I hope I never need a family court lawyer again, but if I do, he’s the only call I need to make.

Child custody

We have had Jeff as our attorney for four years representing us on two occasions. Both concerning custody of our granddaughter. He was most excellent both times. The first with the father, our daughter passed away from heroin, we wanted shared custody and he got that for us. The second when the fathe...r passed away from heroin, we wanted full custody and he got it for us. I could not have asked for a better outcome or lawyer. He is persistent and professional. If we ever need an attorney again, he is our go guy!

Fantastic Attorney

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Jeffery Kerstetter was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told us what to expect, both good and bad. We had a tough case involving custody across state lines. However, Jeffery kept us informed of each step and what the options... were and what the risks were. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to our family during a very difficult time. He is absolutely fantastic and did a great job. I highly recommend him!
