My attorney brought Vincent DeLuca in for an economic mediation. He was very professional, engaged and effective. I appreciated his humanity and how he handled a difficult situation between two parties who could not come to a reasonable agreement. He got the heart of things in fairly short order and was patient with the bump and grind of the process.
I highly recommend Vincent DeLuca as a collaborative divorce attorney. I hired him back in 2010 for a collaborative divorce, and his involvement helped to make it a success. He was already skilled in that area of law, at that time, despite it being new to many people in NJ.
In a collaborative divorce both lawyers become part of the “team”, yet in private they still offer guidance to their clients (that is my take on the process). So I wanted a lawyer who was both a team player and a straight shooter. If I was asking for too much I wanted him to tell me, and if I was not holding a fair line I also wanted to know. Throughout the process he offered that kind of honest guidance to me, and he helped to keep our son’s needs front and center. He also has skills as a mediator, and it was apparent to me that he truly wanted what was best for our son.
Vince is also capable of being assertive and seeing through tactics and posturing. I certainly did not want a typical divorce battle, but I want to be clear that if I had one I also would trust that Vince could help to protect me from those pitfalls. In many ways I feel he offers a great blend of all of those skills and needs. He is caring, experienced, creative and tactful. And above all he earned my trust at a high level. I ended up contacting him three other times, and referring a handful of friends to him. I wish you luck on your current challenges and recommend that you consider a consultation with Vince to see if he is a good fit for your needs.

Great Attorney
You never expect that when you are married and have children that you will be getting a divorce. I was incredibly fortunate to have Vince as my divorce lawyer. He explained everything to ahead of time and he guided me through the entire process in a manner that always made me feel comfortable and prepared. Everything went the way he told me it would, there were no surprises. Vince is very personable and very knowledgeable. I developed great rapport with him very quickly and felt as though he was always looking out for my best interest. Vince was very instrumental in helping me obtain a settlement that allowed me and my children to retain the marital home thereby minimizing the impact of the divorce on my children. I highly recommend Vince and his team.

Parenting Rights
When I was going through my divorce one of my biggest concerns was my ability to get a fair and reasonable custody arrangement with my children. I had heard that it is not always easy for fathers to have equal time with their children. Mr. DeLuca and his team of family lawyers assured me that if I followed their advice I would end of up with a parenting plan that would allow me to continue to be an involved Dad and enjoy equal parenting with my kids. That is exactly what ended up happening! Vince was always available to answer all of my questions and helped me out tremendously. I highly recommend the Villain and DeLuca firm for any of your family or divorce related matters.

Knowledge, Compassion and Timeliness
The best decision I made was to hire Vince as my divorce attorney. He made a difficult situation as easy as possible given the circumstances. His knowledge of all aspects of my divorce issues - child support, alimony, visitation, equitable distribution - was outstanding. But it was not just his knowledge, it was his compassion and understanding that made me extremely comfortable and gave me piece of mind that I was in good hands with Vince. While I know he had numerous other cases he was handling, he and his staff gave me the attention and timely responses that I felt as though I was his sole focus! I would HIGHLY recommend Vince to anyone in need of a divorce attorney! By far, the best decision I made regarding my divorce

Monmouth County Divorce Attorney
VIncent helped to effectively guide me through my divorce and I highly recommend him to anyone who is contemplating filing for divorce. I found him to be very knowledgeable about the divorce laws in New Jersey and I was comforted by the fact that he is a Certified Divorce Lawyer and limits his entire legal practice to this area of law. I also liked the fact that he seemed to have a very good working relationship with the Judge who was assigned to my case. He was consistently there for me and answered all of my questions and explained each step in the divorce process in terms I could understand. Divorce is not easy so make sure you are very comfortable with the attorney that you hire. I trusted Vincent with my case and I was not disappointed in any way.

Outstaning Law Firm and Attorney
I first retained Mr. DeLuca to represent me in a bitter and contested divorce many years ago. Not only was Mr. DeLuca professional and knowledgable, but he worked to resolve the matter in the most amicable way, in order to save me not only unnecessary legal fees but heartache as well. He was compassionate and understanding, giving me straight-forward advice about how to proceed with my case. I have referred many friends and family to his firm and everyone has been impressed. I have used the firm again to represent me in other personal matters as well and have always been able to rely on everyone I interact with there. I give Mr. DeLuca my highest recommendation.
