Honest and fair, easy to talk to

During my consultation, Rita spoke to me in a way that I could easily understand the process I was facing. She made me feel comfortable and I had a sense that she sincerely cared about my situation. I would definitely hire Rita and have already referred her to people closest to me.

Happy Client

Rita is a competent and compassionate attorney. She was tactful in her approach and at the same time encouraged me to stay positive as the rollercoaster of emotions that accompany the process of divorce surfaced. Her professional guidance and personal empathy during a very difficult time, were much a...ppreciated. I would highly recommend Rita for any legal matters you may be facing!

Professional Advice

Rita Polonsky is both professional and knowledgeable. She guided me through my divorce, giving me both sound advice and keeping me grounded. I would not hesitate to recommend her to close friends and family.

Horrible experience

Hired her at the recommendation of a friend. She never remembered anything we discussed; each meeting was a rehash of the previous and I was charged for that. I only had three things I wanted in my divorce and she gave away all three of them - too timid to fight for me. I don't recommend spending ...money with her. I have a new lawyer now who was appalled at my final outcome due to her poor work.

Replied last April 14, 2017

Divorce in most cases is an emotionally charged and gut wrenching experience. A client will have expectations and demands as to what they believe they are entitled to. However, those expectations do not always match up with what the law allows. As a result, a client may feel disappointed in the attorney and the divorce laws in New Jersey.

"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!"

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.
