I was married to the kind of person who lied about who they were and committed countless financial crimes as well as various forms of abuse throughout the duration of our marriage inclusive of building a false reality via forged documents and made up scenarios, people and danger. When I forced this person to exit my life, I had no idea how I intended to survive. She had drained all of our financial accounts and my mental health had suffered so significantly I was rendered (temporarily) disabled. My situation was messy. Claire was undaunted- she agreed to represent me to separate myself from the scariest, most deceitful person I have ever met. I am confident I would be deceased today had Claire and Felicia not helped me through this process. Claire, respecting my boundaries at every turn, calmed my anxieties and made herself readily available. She listened to me and pivoted as necessary- there were certainly some unexpected curves along the way that she had to recalibrate in order to navigate (my ex is the stuff of lifetime movies). She changed course with grace time after time, never tiring and never blaming me for things far beyond my control. She called me the Sunday before my scheduled divorce after I had called it off via e-mail. The fear I felt was too immense and I intended to discontinue my life. I had blocked her office number and was attempting to rehome my dogs. Who calls on a new number I've never seen before but Claire Scully? I don't think she even realizes the timing of her call or how it affected the timeline of my life. She used her lawyer voice at first, clearly displeased by my recent abandonment of our plan, but quickly realized I was just terrified. She immediately changed course again and added language into the divorce paperwork to protect me from my very legitimate fears. She and the judge assigned to my case then spent an hour and a half in court painstakingly crafting language to protect me from further abuse, conning related behavior, etc. She also carefully preserved my right to press charges should I ever find myself capable and willing. She and the courts provided me a divorce decree that made it clear that my spouse was a person of interest should anything happen to me or my home thus granting me the peace of mind to finally sleep soundly at night and begin to feel a sense of safety and wellbeing. I believe that Claire and Felicia's expertise, empathy, wisdom and dedication to their work enabled them to meet me in (hopefully) my darkest hour with the compassion necessary to help me proceed with a dignified life. During parts of this process, Claire and Felicia probably cared more about me than I was able to care about myself. If you are in need of legal services, I hope you find Claire and I hope you choose her- she will absolutely identify and defend your very best interests with every fiber of her being. I could not recommend her or Felicia any more highly. They get it done when it seems impossible. The humor she brought to the situation was therapeutic and the insight she offered was invaluable. I'm glad I met her- lame circumstances, but overall 11/10. Claire and Felicia are about as good as human beings come. read more

September 11, 2021 Claire Scully, Esq. L.L.C. 80 Court Street Freehold, NJ 07728 Dear Claire Scully, I am so very grateful to have you as an attorney for my family. I want to express my eternal gratitude for attending to my case and getting me everything you promised me. I consider myself one of the luckiest fathers alive to have my daughter with me every day in the house she calls home. All your time, effort, care, support, shared experiences, guidance and friendship have transformed our lives remarkably well over the past two years. The complicated issues that were interlaced in my divorce case were quite the cataclysm. Making the decision to get a divorce was one of the most difficult things I ever have done. I was very fearful of what could happen to my daughter and our home. The first time we met I did not feel any discrimination from you. I felt your assertive nature to be very humbling. You gave me renewed hope that I would be able to move on and enjoy life. I do realize, this was not the easiest case you have ever had to fight. You took a considerable amount of time interviewing me and doing your own research to make a powerful presentation. A large part of your time was spent getting to know me and you revealed how well you observed me with your indomitable defense. Your words and actions gave an accurate and authentic narrative history. I want to thank you for your time and your fearless uncompromised determination. Not even a pandemic could interfere with your work ethic. You always answered the phone calls, emails and text messages even in the middle of the night when I needed you. I always felt like a priority. The attention to detail, dedication and diligence you provided in my time of need will never be forgotten. Thank you for remaining at my side before, during and after one of the hardest times of my life. I will never forget: Thanks to you I have my beautiful daughter living with me! Thanks to you I have the house I worked so hard to make a home! Thanks to you I have my entire pension untouched! Thanks to you I do not have to pay alimony! Thanks to you I am moving on and starting a new family! Sincerely, Michael B. read more

I can't say enough about about Claire and Felicia! They have helped my husband for the past five years with a very complicated and time consuming case. She went above and beyond for him (us) and when things became really difficult and we thought there was no hope she didn't let us down and fought hard and strong to get us through a long and dire process which lasted for almost six long years. Claire never left our side--from phone calls and emails and our never ending questions and concerns she stood by us fighting to protect us. She never made us feel like we were a bother or a nuisance...and we could be at times. I cannot say enough about Felicia who was so supportive and positive and patient through this drawn out journey to justice. Felicia is so much more than an assistant; she really cared about us and our overall well-being. Furthermore, I think of Felicia more of an accountant, she is phenomenal with numbers. My goodness! I can't emphasize enough how much time and effort she put into this case! They made us feel more like family members than clients. They were relentless and driven and truly went above and beyond for our case, and my husband finally got the justice he deserved! Also, important to know that they are professional, funny, caring, down-to earth and witty- I would highly recommend Claire and Felicia if you want a lawyer who will fight for you in a professional, honest and an assertive manner.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Claire and her assistant Felicia. Last November, unnecessary harm, accompanied by a deluge of lies, attacked me unexpectedly and mercilessly. It plunged me into the coldest winter of my life, catching me off guard. I was extremely anxious and confused. During that helpless time, I consulted with several different lawyers, but ultimately, I chose Claire, and it turned out to be the best decision I made. She is extremely professional, experienced, and energetic, and she is always assertive when it matters most. What sets her apart from other attorneys is that she really connects with her clients from the heart. Claire demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. She was always available to answer questions or concerns I had, even during weekends and evenings, and her responsiveness and attention to detail are truly impressive. She is very skilled at managing cases and always projects confidence. With Claire by my side, I felt confident and reassured. My journey is not over, however, as she said to me and I believe now, "Spring is eternal." read more

Ms. Scully is competent and tough, but readily available to her clients. She is quick-witted and down-to-earth, and goes out of her way to break down legal concepts and her recommended course of action. She is also extremely competent in court--due to Hurricane Irene, I had lost some of my financial documentation and the judge unfortunately and erroneously awarded my ex-wife thousands of dollars for certain defunct assets. Ms. Scully filed a motion for consideration, assisted me in locating the proper evidentiary support, and actually convinced a very tough judge to reverse his own decision, saving me nearly twenty thousand dollars. It was clear to me that she is a former prosecutor, due to her confidence and her ability to proactively build a case. Her rates are very reasonable, especially given her level of experience. I recommend Ms. Scully without hesitation. read more
