A really good lawyer

Mr. Sliwinski provided excellent legal representation during and after my divorce for me. He doesn't get bogged down in the small petty things that can drive up divorce costs but instead he keys in on the big picture items that are important to overall victory. He is mindful and considerate of the ...children involved in the divorce in a way that I did not experience with the two matrimonial lawyers that I had before him. He is very knowledgable of the law and he is also a really pleasant person to have at your side when you may be going through some tough times. Mr. Sliwinski helped me legally to pass through some really difficult litigation post divorce. This allowed me to land solidly on my feet and move on with a new marriage and family.

Got the job done, and will continue to work with me!

From the first phone conversation in setting up an appointment through all that I am going through, Mr. Sliwinski has been extremely receptive. He has explained what he felt I would be entitled to, how he felt the Judge would handle the case, and what I should expect for the outcome. To date he has... been correct with all of his guidance. Mr. Sliwinski believes that in the beginning you try and be as nice as possible with the other side, but when he sees that the other side was not wanting to act in the same manner, he has shown that he can play hard ball as well not to let them walk all over me. He has been able to win for me what we feel was fair, and is continuing to fight for the rest of what was not addressed to date. He has shown compassion, and been there for all of my concerns. Mr. Sliwinski does all of his work himself without a secretary which I also like, as this way I know that he personally is caring for my case and I am not just another account being put with an employee. Mr. Sliwinski returns our calls promptly, and if he is in court or in a meeting he sends an email letting me know that as soon as he is available generally giving a time frame that he will be in touch. He is extremely reasonable with his fees, and is not an attorney as I have had in the past that is in it more for the money rather than the best interest of his client. All I can say is if you need a GREAT attorney, then contact Mr. Sliwinski and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent Divorce attorney

Ted helped me through a very complex divorce settlement. He was very knowledgeable, informative, and expeditious. He not only offered legal expertise, but moral support as well. Ted made a very painful process a lot less painful. He provided an excellent service at a very reasonable fee. I strongly... recommend him.

Theodore Sliwinski has been my lawyer for almost fifteen years. He has handle bankruptcy and family court issues for me during this time. I have found Theodore to be a fair and practical lawyer. A tell it like it is no nonsense keeping in real type of lawyer. One of the best things I like about The...odore is that he is affordable. He does charge a arm in a leg for good legal services that he provides. So if you need a good affordable lawyer that tells you what it really is; and who will do all he can to help you with your legal need. I recommend Theodore Sliwinski.

No Nonsense and Honest

If you want someone to blow smoke and give you false hope to keep your spirits up, then look elsewhere. If however, you want somebody to tell you how it is, give you the options available and execute them for you, then you cannot go wrong with Mr. Sliwinski. His knowledge of the law and the intrica...cies of dealing with the legal system in NJ is surpassed only by his execution of it. He has successfully handled a number of motor vehicle cases for me and has left me more than satisfied each and every time. His prices are reasonable and there are no sneaky "gotchas" to worry about or cause you any more stress than is necessary.

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."
