Poor Communication and Multiple Attorney Changes

My experience with this law firm pertains specifically to their family law services. Throughout my family law case, I was repeatedly reassigned to different associates, which meant having to explain my personal situation multiple times. This was both time-consuming and frustrating. The response ti...me to communications was consistently poor. I often waited extended periods for replies to important questions and updates about my case. This added unnecessary stress during what was already a sensitive family matter. While the firm handled the basic aspects of my family law case, the overall quality of service fell well below my expectations. I should note that my review is based solely on their family law services, as I have no experience with their other practice areas.

Approach with Caution!!!

I hired this firm in January 23 2024. Ended up with a wonderful attorney. Paid my retainers. On 04/01/2024 I receive a message that my attorney is No Longer with the Firm. I decided to stay with my attorney. On 04/05/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a motion in the family court, this deb...t was 2 months old and I had already paid $5000 in retainer fees. On 05/13/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a Civil Suit!!! Give me a break! They were paid 5K already and could easily obtain the charging lien for the divorce settlement. A little too much, too soon, not to mention I had to ask 3 times to have duplicate charges removed from an invoice. Total balance is around $7500, but now they also are adding legal fees for the motion and the law suit. Maybe they should worry about getting new customers instead of trying to jack up old customer's bills. Unreal!!!

This review is deceptive, inaccurate, and unfair. Unfortunately, due to pending litigation and ethics restraints, we cannot comment further. To all readers: please read the numerous positive and accurate reviews left for us by former and current clients over many years.

5 Star Recommendation

Mr. Saadeh was my attorney during a 4.5 year wrenching family law ordeal, which included a successful appeal. In my opinion, he is an expert on the law (our judge always asked him leading questions to clarify statutes). I have first hand knowledge of his success record on appeals (where he has a very... high success record). When I felt that the SYSTEM was letting me down and was not fair, thanks to Raj, we got the result we sought, which was fair to both parties. He also has great client focus as he was always available to me when needed, including nights and weekends. He was recommended to me by a NJ Appellate Court Judge and I now I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Astute, strategic and legally well-versed attorney

I retained Rajeh Saadeh for two complex family law matters, including my divorce. I am very pleased with his services and am grateful for the positive outcome despite a serious possibility that things could have been far worse. Most notably, I am grateful for his guidance when my ex-wife filed nu...merous motions to prevent me from having virtually any parenting time with my child. Through Raj's powerfully crafted and legally sound responses, each and every one of these frivolous motions were denied or dismissed. I highly recommend Raj for all matters, especially those concerning family law. His associates and staff are knowledgeable, professional, courteous and responsive.

The Muhammad Ali of Lawyers: Litigates like a butterfly, stings like Alimony

Rajeh has been my family lawyer since 2015 and since then I have never looked back. He is a rockstar lawyer and shark in the courts. What i like best about Rajeh is his attitude, knowledge and attention to detail on Everything. I never feel rushed on the phone and he answers Emails all ours of the n...ight. He goes above and beyond to explain legal matters in a way 5th grader will understand. With Rajeh all my outcomes have been a win for me and he's only getting better.

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the privilege of getting to know Raj while he clerked for Judge Mawla in Hunterdon County. During his clerkship Raj displayed a great wealth of knowledge in family law and confidence; both were impressive in a recent graduate. He was always the consummate professional and these great skills have easily transitioned into private practice. Raj is an excellent attorney and zealous advocate, whom I am happy to recommend."
