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 Compassionate Dedicated Hardworking Attorney

I would start by saying I would recommend Mr. Sliwinski in a heartbeat! I first met Mr. Sliwinski through a recommendation for him to handle my bankruptcy. When he found out I had just finished mediation for my divorce, he asked if he could review the draft of my settlement agreement. I said of cour...se and let me tell you, it was the best thing I ever did. Mr. Sliwinski is now handling both of my cases. After seeing the draft of my settlement, he said there is no way ANY attorney should allow me to settle for what I was planning to (no alimony, for one thing). He went on to explain to me exactly what I was entitled to. I was shocked. He also explained to me that he had met too many women who just wanted out of their marriage and settled for next to nothing. Within six months to a year, they wind up broke and living off the government. From that moment on, I knew I had found a great attorney. With that being said, if you are planning on getting a divorce, seek out Mr. Sliwinski, he will tell you exactly what you are entitled to! Even with all my research, I learned more from Mr. Sliwinski than the internet could have ever taught me. We are currently working both cases simultaneously. It is not an easy task, however Mr. Sliwinski handles it very well. It probably isn't easy for any attorney to handle an irate soon to be ex-wife whose soon to be ex-husband seems to drag his feet at every move. Mr. Sliwinski handles himself professionally at all times, knowing how to speak to the opposing attorney with class and professionalism. Mr. Sliwinski has guided me every step of the way. I remember Mr. Sliwinski's reaction when I started getting into the details of who paid for what during our marriage (I paid for everything and am now broke - hence the bankruptcy), his jaw dropped. He knew he had to make it right for me. So, even though going through the courts for my divorce instead of mediation is a longer process, in the end, I know I will have made the right move in choosing Mr. Sliwinski as my attorney. His compassion and dedication for what he does shows in every conversation we have. He is extremely likable, easy to talk with, makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through his door. He is an all around great guy and I would recommend him to any one seeking to file for divorce or bankruptcy.

Not Qualified to be a Bankrupcy Lawyer

I hired him Theodore Sliwinski to handle my Bankrupcy and made it very clear I wanted to wave my car that I financed and wanted to continue with the payments on it. The day I went to court for the Bankrucy he gave me the paper work to wave the car and never processed the paperwork after I filled th...em out and dropped them off at his office. I didn't find out about it until 6 months had passed and he said listen lady this case is closed and if you want to reopen it your going to have to pay me $400.00 he also disrespected me for filing Bankrupcy and if it wasn't for the fact that my sister was with me when I filled out the paperwork and dropped it off with me he would have made me pay him $400.00.

Replied last December 12, 2016

The client received her discharge. The case was approved. She was satisfied with the results. Bankruptcies are not always perfect. Some of the requests that this client made were not necessary. I have handled over 1500 chapter 7 cases. This client was one of my few complaining ones.

"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."
