Rita Polonsky empowers clients to get through the process of divorce with dignity...
“I have spent my professional life helping to clean up broken relationships in the least painful way possible. Divorce is not about winning. No one wins. If you are looking for a lawyer that will work with you to solve the very complicated issues involving fairly dividing marital property and reaching a reasonable way forward on issues of support or dealing with the most painful area of all, children and their well-being, please give me a call.”
Rita began practicing law in 1986 as an associate of Jacoby & Meyers in Burlington, NJ, with an emphasis on family law, divorce and bankruptcy. She left Jacoby & Meyers in 1988 to form Polonsky & Polonsky with her husband, Alan, practicing family law exclusively.
With a proven record of negotiating agreements, as well as maintaining an excellent rapport with colleagues and Judges, Rita is motivated by her ability to help people through the process of divorce in a caring and comforting manner. She acknowledges that divorce is the result of the breakdown of a relationship between two people who once loved each other. Her results are driven by what is fair and honest, balancing expectations with the reality of divorce and what the law allows. In an emotionally charged process, Rita’s belief is divorce does not have to be devastating. There can be compromise.
While raising her own child, Rita developed the philosophy of supporting children and providing unconditional love in good and bad times. The process of divorce can be overwhelming, especially when children are involved. She is passionate about being of value to her clients, allowing them the space to open up and trust her to walk with them through one of the most difficult journeys they may face.

I was referred to Rita Polonsky by a childhood mentor who was also a family attorney for over 50 years in NJ. I trusted her to represent me in court as the plaintiff until she testified against me in my court trial, which resulted in me losing the trial. As a disabled military veteran and medic who s...
This is a mischaracterization of what occurred. Former client decided to change attorneys at the 11th hour. As a result, a new issue arose and the Court decided to try the matter to finally resolve it. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court issued its decision. Former client was not pleased with the Court's ruling and has sought to air his displeasure by lashing out at me.

When I went for a consultation with Rita I immediately felt more confident that myself and my children where going to be just fine. Rita did an amazing job and I have since recommended her to several friends.

Rita was very professional and even more, reasonably priced. She has been doing this a long time and was calm and collected even though the opposition attorney was nauseatingly arrogant. I would recommend her services to family and friends. Understandingly each divorce is different, but I'm confid...
"Ms. Polonsky is a highly respected attorney in our community. She enjoys a fine reputation and I am pleased to present this review. I know Ms. Polonsky to be committed to her clients and passionate with her representation. She is extremely knowledgeable in this field; keeping up to date with the new case law and state statutes governing the areas of divorce, child custody, child support and other family related matters. Ms. Polonsky is an excellent and strong advocate!"
"Rita is a colleague of mine and has also been an "adversary" in several divorce matters with me. I put that in "quotes" because she has the unique ability to figure out how to resolve matters amicably and without animosity, yet zealously representing her client's interest. This is an easy endorsement!"
