I used this firm for a divorce. However, I believe my comments are applicable to any plantiff's…read moreside case. 1) Case Management Ability: This firm failed to file for a motion for default judgment by SIX WEEKS. That's right -- not ONE, not TWO, not THREE, not FOUR, not FIVE, but SIX WEEKS. I could have gotten a default judgment. My understanding, although not a NJ lawyer, is that this case management failure is malpractice. Damages are obviously another issue, but a cut and dry case of malpractice nonetheless. 2) Fees: They quoted $1,500, took that amount as a retainer, and charged me another $1900 on top of that. The additional fee might be warranted for competent legal counsel, however please see points 1 and 3. 3) Client communication: They did not communicate that they would be billing me an additional amount. When I asked them a fairly simple question about whether I needed a form, they responded with "I don't know" and billed me $50 for the pleasure of having them read that email, $50 for them to research that answer of pure legal genius, and $50 for responding to my email. It was a question that they should have known. 4) Firing them: When I tried to tell them I didn't want them to represent me, they continued to contact me and bill me, again for this distinct pleasure. My husband's lawyer (Corinne M. DeStefano) did a much better job in a much more timely manner for a much better rate.

Adam Wallwork is an excellent lawyer with law degrees Adam is an EXCELLENT lawyer from the…read moreUniversity of Chicago (Juris Doctor with Honors) and NYU School of Law (Master of Laws in Taxation). Mr. Wallwork's rates are affordable and his tax and litigation strategies have helped me and my family to save thousands of dollars in the past month alone. I hired Mr. Wallwork two days AFTER the New Jersey Superior Court had entered judgment against me and ordered me to pay years of back rent due under a bogus contract I'd canceled long ago. I thought I'd lost the case and so did Experian. My credit score, which has always been very good, was seriously impacted by the judgment against me since I could hardly afford to pay it. Within two weeks, Mr. Wallwork reversed the outcome: he got the New Jersey judge to rescind his order and dismiss the case against me. I didn't even know that was possible! In the end, I paid none of the company's bogus rental charges and the court's earlier judgment was removed from court records and my credit report after Mr. Wallwork sent letters on my behalf to Experian, Equifax, and Transunion free of charge. I was so impressed with Mr. Wallwork's handling of the contract litigation, his responsiveness, and his tenacity, that I hired him the same month to handle various other tax and business matters. Mr. Wallwork's tax advice has, if anything, proved more valuable than his successful litigation of my contract case because his work reorganizing my finance will likely generate tax savings of $2,000 EACH YEAR. On my advice, my mother also hired Mr. Wallwork for legal matters relating to her taxes, estate, and rental business. In just three week, Mr. Wallwork has rewritten lease contracts for my mother's tenants in New Jersey and Virginia, and helped to secure delinquent. Although I realize this review is very long, it is hardly enough to express my appreciation for Mr. Wallwork's outstanding work. For people like me and my mother, who aren't wealth, world-class legal representation is hard to come by and something should be said about Mr. Wallwork of Sills Cummis & Gross who has given us the benefit of world-class, affordable legal representation right here in Newark.

I tried calling/emailing every lawyer under the sun, but nobody would reply or return my calls. Sounds like the issue may be related to these scamming moving companies and maybe there is no hope in pursuing this stuff. Mr. Kuttner took my information and documents, and reviewed it all super quick and gave me some extremely valuable information that I had been looking for! The issue is not resolved yet, but ever since I met with Mr. Kuttner, the negotiation phase took a sharp turn for the better, and I am very thankful to have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Kuttner. Thank you, Kuttner Law Offices!

Keep in mind the fee is not a surprise - he signed and agreed to the terms of service to be a provider under my corporate plan - if the fees were too low for them, they shouldn't sign up or be listed in the directory. For context, imagine going to a doctor who is listed with your insurance as an in-network provider, and being declined because he figures he has enough cash patients, and no longer likes what the insurance pays.

I retained Mr. Cedeño with little notice ahead of my Family Court Trial. He came highly recommended…read moreby a great friend of mine who took notice of Mr. Cedeño abilities as his ex spouse attorney. That says a lot right there considering he wasn't his own attorney but fighting against him. Mr. Cedeño sat down with me, listened to everything and asked me what outcome I was desiring. He showed up before me every court date, ready to go. On his first appearance in White Plains Family Court, he was able to accomplish far more in one day than my previous attorney did in 3 years. On day one he got my TRO dismissed, and I was awarded temporary custody. We know how difficult it is in family court for Fathers or Men to be awarded custody. You're lucky if you even get visitation these days. With Mr. Cedeño there were no surprises, he explained everything to me up front . He has made trips back and forth to White Plains Family Court with and without me present on my behalf advocating and fighting for my son and I. He has continued to fight for me even now that my case is over. I am truly elated about this experience and now focusing on raising my son and recovering from these last 3 years of Family Court Trauma. I highly recommend Mr. Cedeño and his team, and suggest you articulate what your goal is and any concerns upfront.
