Adoption
From our first consultation with Chris Musulin he was straight forward and honest. Everything in our adoption case went the way he said it would, and we always felt protected knowing that Chris was on our side. Chris will always be recommended by us, and he will always be remembered for the peace and sanity he was able to provide by being that good. Not enough stars for a proper rating for Musulin Law Firm.

Divorce and Alimony Termination
I used the Musulin Law firm on two occasions. Both situations the firm was professional, reliable and accomplished the outcome I anticipated.

Thorough Divorce Lawyer
Chris Musulin and his excellent support staff is perfect for anyone looking for a competent divorce attorney with substantial experience. Chris Musulin from the start explained in a clear and thorough way how the divorce process would unfold. Even though I wanted to sign an initial settlement through mediation due to stress and desperation, Chris gently and adeptly got me to take his advice and go through a better course of action. Due to Chris and the entire staff the immense stress going through this divorce was eased considerably. I am super thankful to Chris for working with me through to the final resolution.

Family Law
Musulin Law Firm Review (Thomas Belitza ESQ) Simply stated: I was desperate! I was going broke! I had a Divorce Agreement that was ignored for 7 years. I had my 3 kids more than the 50% scheduled time without any CS/AL Obligation relief. I had my income reduced to the point that I was the one making less but still paying CS/AL. I was then compelled to pay an additional 12 years of CS without discussion or redress. I had had enough! I went back to my original divorce lawyer. She stated that I “would end up paying even more”. I was at a loss for words! I was devastated. I was hopeless. I then met Mr. Belitza. We consulted. We made our stand. The Court concurred. I received a 98% Overall Obligation reduction! AL was terminated! My position vindicated! If you are desperate Father! Document everything, and then call Mr. Belitza! RJP

Divorce
A highly ethical, experienced, and professional group of people with a genuine desire to help folks effectively navigate legal channels to achieve a fair and favorable outcome. Came across Musulin Lawyer Firm by chance, or perhaps fate, during a very desperate and vulnerable period of my life-separation and divorce. I spent days searching, with numerous consults, but knew this firm was the one for me after speaking to Chris. Within five minutes I was struck by how different he was by comparison. Instead of playing on my anger and frustration, to secure a client, he empathized and saw that I was in a bad way. At no point did I ever feel like I was being sold a lavish dream or pressured any which way; Chris was always straight with me, laid everything out (good/bad/ugly) and I was reassured because I knew he “would only spend money if the return was worth it.” Whenever emotions would get the best of me, Chris would always get me to see reason. Admittedly this was initially a challenge which only decreased as my trust in his experience and advice increased. TRUST IN CHRIS, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!! The process took about two years, start to finish, and the team was there every step of the way; even on weekends! While Chris was my primary attorney, you are really getting the expertise and support of the entire firm. It is truly a group effort over there. Whether it is Christina, Tom, Kellyanne, Tina, Pamela or Simon, rest assured that every interaction will be professional and compassionate. Know that you will be actively informed on all matters related to your case and that you will be adequately briefed on all possible outcomes every time you go before the court. I will forever be impressed by how responsive and committed they are to seeing you through whatever situation. Finally, if money is an issue, which it very well might be; be up front and talk to the firm administrators-they will work with you! Cannot say enough good things about this firm; excellent people with amazing service and support!

Relief!
My ex filed a motion that I knew was too complicated for me to attempt to deal with. Thomas Belitza at Musulin Law Firm jumped right in with the right knowledge and questions, and the motion never went anywhere. As I was saying to my friend the other day, it was worth every penny!

Excellent law firm
I would highly recommend Chris Musulin and his team to anyone who is looking to hire the "best" lawyer to represent them in any area of family law. His many years of experience and his determination to provide optimal results are the key to his success. He explains everything you need to know from the beginning and keeps you informed throughout the entire process. The results of his labor were above and beyond my expectations.

Review
Mr. Musulin and his staff greatly helped me thru my divorce in 2019. Mr. Musulin is highly knowledgeable along with his staff, they answered all the questions I had throughout the whole process. They were always available and responded quickly to all my needs. I feel my divorce would have turned out much differently if I had not used Mr. Musulin and his great staff. They made a difficult time much easier. Thank you!

Highly Recommend
I cannot say enough about Musulin Law Firm, specifically about my lawyer Christina Fulton Groves. I was in a very difficult situation: coming out of a short-lived marriage where I had moved out of the country with a man who had dual citizenship. I had just escaped the marriage and returned to the USA with nothing to my name. I was also 2 months pregnant with my first child when I met Christina and the team there. Not only were they extremely compassionate, but they worked with me in every way possible given my situation. Christina was completely supportive yet honest with me every step of the way, but was also highly competent both with the laws and legal processes as well as with handling communication with my ex's lawyer who was in and from a different country/culture. In the end, I achieved getting the most important thing to me: full sole custody, without compromising beyond what I was willing to. I truly feel she was a God-send and couldn't have done it without her.

Divorce
Christina Fulton has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found her to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. While working with Christina, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and she did not steer me wrong. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Christina Fulton again. Kamlesh

When I initially came to Mr. Musulin I thought he would turn me away because I was a mess and my divorce was that awful. He didn’t turn me away. He listened and took my case. He got me through it and I felt like he actually cared. His whole firm was wonderful. I highly recommend Mr. Musulin and his firm.

My Gratitude to Musulin Law Firm
Musulin Law Firm helped me through a very difficult divorce. It was one of the most painful, stressful and confusing times of my life. The entire firm was professional, polite, caring and supportive. They were always willing to explain the process to me and I felt that they actually cared about my situation and case on a personal level. Even when I experienced barriers during this process they went above and beyond to make things right. At the end of this difficult journey I felt as though I had been fairly represented and my best interests had been the concern of the entire law firm. I would definitely hire them again if I ever needed legal counsel. I feel ready to start this new chapter of my life and sincerely thank Musulin Law Firm for helping me to get through the obstacles that were preventing me from doing so.

Review of Christopher Musulin, Esquire
I would like to strongly recommend the team at Musulin Law Firm and Mr. Christopher Musulin in particular. I was recommended to Mr. Musulin by another attorney and told that he is one of the finest in the State of New Jersey, and was directly responsible for some of the divorce law enforced in the state, and therefore was quite familiar with all case law and precedent. I am extremely grateful for the recommendation. As in most divorces, this was a particularly sad and depressing time in my life where there are no winners. I was not only concerned for my children, but for the economic turmoil this would inflict on my life for many years. My wife's attorney came from an arrogant and demanding place, and convinced my wife that he would get her a huge settlement, and I was immediately concerned that this divorce would turn into a long battle that would affect my long term relationship with my ex-wife, and thus have a terrible effect on my two young children and their future, which I had worked so hard to secure for so many years. Mr. Musulin met with me, guided me through audits of my businesses, gave me all of his time that I needed, and mapped out a strategy (based on New Jersey State Law) so that I could be calm and balanced when discussing the details of the divorce with my wife, which I asked him if I could do, so as not to cause any unneeded conflicts or legal bills. My wife's attorney was absolutely no match for Mr. Musulin. I would go so far as to say that Mr. Musulin ultimately embarrassed him, without seeming to try. After a long and arduous period, and after Mr. Musulin had established much legal precedent and a financial support team to ensure that I would be safe if the divorce went to court, it became clear that my wife would be getting far less than I even offered. When I chose to offer my wife more in the divorce and end the potential for a long and drawn out legal battle, Mr. Musulin, knowing that he could extend the process and bill me more, agreed that I was being fair and generous, and advised me to finalize the divorce. While other attorneys are thinking of their own families and working to bill their clients, Mr. Musulin was thinking about my family, and actually cared for me and the true realities that face a family during such a difficult time. Mr. Musulin is interested in being honest and fair with his clients and there is not a hint of arrogance in his straight forward approach. He keeps his eye 100% on the law, which he knows better than most (or atleast much better than my ex-wife's "high powered attorney", and works to educate his clients on the process which helps them sleep at night. He turned over every rock for me to make my case and end such a terrible process. If I had allowed Mr. Musulin to use all of his skills and knowledge during my divorce, my wife (now ex-wife) would have gotten far less in the divorce. Because of experience and wisdom, I will always owe him a debt of gratitude and will recommend him whenever possible.

Review of Musulin Law Firm
I am so thankful for Musulin Law Firm. Everyone in this office was kind and understanding of my situation. I never once felt like they were out to just "make money." I know that they all genuinely cared and helped me make the best possible decisions for my personal situation. I highly recommend this group.

Your in wonderful hands with Christopher Musulin and his Law Firm!
Musulin Law Firm is wonderful! Chris Musulin is knowledgeable, professional and always there when you need him. Regardless of how busy he is, he makes time for you and you feel like a priority. He will call you directly, add you at the last minute to his calendar and ensure you don't feel as if you're forgotten. He doesn't gauge you with legal fees and always has the best interest of his clients in mind at all times. His staff is wonderful, too. Pamela couldn't be any kinder. When you call an attorney's office, you need assistance and it's quite often a stressful time . I was so thankful Pamela was there to assist me each and every time I called. She was so understanding and patient. She's like an angel. She listened and made everything seem manageable. I feel so fortunate she helped alleviate my anxiety. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend Musulin Law Firm. They were referred to me via a fellow attorney and I was definitely placed in good hands!

Review of Christopher R. Musulin, Esq., and Musulin Law Firm by a client
Seeking out a family lawyer can be a challenging situation, one filled with a lot of emotions and usually a life-changing situation. The team at Musulin law firm was excellent in handling my legal matters they helped ease my fears and concerns. I was fortunate to work with the entire team Chris, Christine, and Thomas along with their support team. My situation was not simple however they were able to help me navigate through all the intricate pieces and gave me support and guidance along the way. I highly recommend them and have referred several of my associates to them.
