Posted by Lee | March 18, 2015 | Bankruptcy & Debt

I will use Mr Sliwinski again.

Mr. Sliwinski has been our family lawyer for sometime now. He has helped me in many instances throughout that time. One of the most remarkable occurrences is as follows: After my divorce that positioned me in near financial ruins Mr. Sliwinski righted the wrongs of the Family Courts justice system... in New Jersey by piloting me through a bankruptcy. He achieved remarkable results by allowing me to keep my house and be forgiven of well over $100,000 in debt! I have had favorable outcomes using Theodore Sliwinski services. Mr. Sliwinski is a consummate professional and I gladly recommend his services to anyone.

A Man of Many Talents

I have utilized Mr. Sliwinski on many occasions and in different situations. Each time he has gone above and beyond. One particular case involved a family member who was involved in a potential criminal situation. The case was resolved with no penalty and even the judge commented to the defendant... that he should feel fortunate to have had a lawyer with Mr. Sliwinski's capability on his side.

Emancipation Event

Ted explained to me that an easier and less expensive way of retiring my children from receiving child support payments was to craft an Emancipation Event form which is given directly to the Judge. As each of my children achieved their emancipation status, based on the rules set forth in my divorce ...decree, Ted filed these Emancipation Events with the courts saving me; 1) from showing up in court and 2) thousands of dollars of needless expense. Ted is a great guy to asks question of and use as a sounding board and I recommend him highly.

Court Negotiation

I was listed as a co-signer to a student loan and the government was taking me to court to collect on the debt. Mr. Sliwinski represented me at the hearing. The result was that I was not responsible for the debt. It wasn't an easy situation to make a long story short, but Mr. Sliwinski handled it ...marvelously, negotiating with the right people at the right time and making everything come together. I am quite thankful for his help. He is also a down to earth type guy who is easy to talk with. I will definitely seek him out the next time I need legal help.

Simple Assault and Harassment

Like Ted said, there's nothing simple about simple assault. The prosecutor in charge of my case was difficult to negotiate with and did not want to agree to our plea which was dismissing the charge altogether. Ted is extremely knowledgeable and in the end he negotiated a 1 year administrative proba...tion whereby my record will remain clean as long as I don't have any new charges within 1 year. I wouldn't have been able to work out this type of deal on my own. Ted has more than reasonable rates and I'm extremely happy and grateful for the outcome.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. When I was starting out as a sole practitioner in 2006, Ted provided work opportunities for me. More importantly, I was able to observe him at work, interact with clients, and gain from his experience in every facet of family law. This provided to me the framework for my own practice. Ted's legal knowledge is almost unlimited and his skills are unmatched. To this day, I continue to contact Ted when I am in need of an opinion or advice on how to proceed with a complex legal issue."
