Proficient and caring

While divorce is never a pleasant matter, having Melissa Schiffman represent me was a pleasure. She is proficient in her field, as well as well respected by her peers. She dealt with my case quickly and made what could be a difficult situation quite easy. I would recommend her to anyone with a fam...ily law need as you would not find a more caring attorney.

Best lawyer

I used Melissa Grege Schiffman for my very messy and unpredictable divorce. She was knowledgeable in every aspect of NJ law including the difficult area's of domestic violence. She was also always prepared for court and kept in close contact with me on the issues we needed to discuss. Not only did sh...e represent me in a professional and respectful way, but she did so with the well-being of my 3 children in mind. She was more than just my lawyer, she was my confident and my guide through this very difficult in my life.

A great lawyer and true dedication

I met Ms. Schiffman 7 years ago from a referral that had a great experience with her. She took on my custody case and was nothing but attentive, responsive and caring. She was straight to the point about EVERYTHING. She told you like it is and did not sugar coat anything. She always told me that ...she would never steer me wrong and after 7 years, she held her promise. I thank her time and time again for all she has done for me and my family. She is more than a great lawyer, but a great person and friend now. Thank you for everything!!

True Professional

During my 40 year career as a member of a divisional executive management team of a multibillion dollar corporation, I interacted with attorneys on a routine basis. This experience enabled me to define the profile of the law firm/lawyer I needed to reopen my nearly 20 year old Divorce Settlement Agre...ement. I am convinced that very few attorneys would have the skill, knowledge, or dedication demonstrated by Melissa Schiffman in obtaining the favorable decision of the court in my case. She was relentless in pursuing resolution in both the courtroom and behind the scenes. It was also obvious when in the presence of my former spouse's legal team or the presiding judge that she was well respected. Her preparation and presentation of my position was nothing short of brilliant. Had the court ruled against me, I would have suffered significant financial hardships as I entered and throughout my retirement.

Horrible attorney

Extremely poor attorney. When ever I showed her she was wrong in how she handled my divorce, she repeatedly told me to stop looking things on the internet. What a fool I was to believe her. Now trying to retire from my job only to find out how she either missed or did not care about a one line sen...tence my ex's attorney slipped in. Does covert fraction ring a bell Melissa? Thanks for telling me I was wrong when I questioned you on this issue too. Pathetic!
