“

Christine was a beacon of hope for me while navigating the annulment of my international marriage. It was particularly difficult because of the international boundaries and differences in divorce laws etc. But Christine being highly knowledgeable, highly experienced, scrutinizingly thorough, compassionate and tough, was able to get my marriage annulled promptly. Indeed, she knows the ins and outs of divorce laws and international laws. She and her team were very professional and always returned a call or email promptly. I very much appreciated all the support and good advice she offered throughout the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing the best divorce attorney!

“

I soon after found that Christine would be the attorney working alongside me in my divorce. Though it was a very difficult and stressful time, Christine's human compassion showed through, always with knowledge and professionalism in her work. She is someone you could count on. A dynamic attorney who knows the ins and outs of divorce law. Always available and answered any questions as soon as I called or e-mailed. On top of things and very organized. I always felt I had someone who had my back. Thankfully, the process has been concluded, though she still checks in on me to make sure things are going well. It's just who she is. I would strongly recommend Christine Fitzgerald to any friend or person who is in need of a diligent, hard-working, attorney who knows her craft and has a commitment to her clients.

but I guarantee that once you choose Melissa as your attorney you will find that she has absolute integrity for the profession and those that she represents. She is diligent, thorough and truly supportive of the individual needs of each and every client.

Christine stayed calm throughout some very horrible experiences and helped me try to stay calm as well. I've always felt like I could trust her, not have to hide anything from her, and that she would try to help me not just because I was paying her but because she cared. When she thought I was wrong, she told me so. When I pushed on her because I thought I had a good point, she listened, and we talked it through to come to an understanding of the full situation and develop a strategy. She brings her range of experience to the conversations to guide in a grounded manner. I've appreciated having a thoughtful partner throughout this ordeal in Christine. I certainly wish I had no need of an attorney, but while I do have this need, I know that Christine will be here with me to help guide me forward.

 My case is ongoing and extraordinarily high conflict, and I found Melissa after not having a lot of success with another attorney. Melissa is passionate, knowledgeable, and kind.
 

Getting divorced can be an extremely emotionally heavy event and we may not be in the most mindful place. Melissa's expertise and steady stance got me through a difficult time and I am very grateful for her!

I always felt secure and protected by Melissa Cohen for the past 13 years during and post my divorce. She handled my divorce case with so much knowledge, dedication and was by my side and available for any issues I had.

“

She consistently offered me succinct direction, thoroughly explained the processes and options and was open to my (countless) questions. Ms. Cohen was thoroughly knowledgeable and remained unwavering in challenging situations. She was compassionate in her approach to all situations, extending a personal commitment to my case all while being the consummate professional to myself, her staff, the court and opposition.

“

I was seeking to relocate over 1000 miles out of state, which is not an easy feat in New Jersey. It was a long, stressful, and tough process. Our case ended up going the mile to trial. Melissa was completely responsive throughout the whole process, answered every crazy question I had, and eased my worries. Her true skills shined in the courtroom. In the end, we won our case and I was granted the relocation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better representation, and a better person to emotionally guide me through the process. I would whole heartedly recommend Melissa to any friends and family who were seeking family law representation.

“

She has been nothing but knowledgeable, prompt, and reliable. The dedication she has to her practice is unparalleled. Initially, I was emotional and wavering. Ms. Cohen sensitively and professionally explained the law and decisions (although difficult) I had to make for the safety of myself and my daughter. She thoroughly explains all possible routes and outcomes. Ms. Cohen has a human touch coupled with a fierce loyalty that is an immeasurable benefit when considering a family law attorney. As I continue my journey through family law, her guidance and representation is nothing short of excellence. I have recommended her and will continue to do so.

I met with Sheryl and Don via zoom during covid when I was going thru one of life’s toughest challenges: getting a divorce. Don listened to and understood my situation which included a prenup and post marital agreement and ensured that I would walk away happy. He is extremely knowledgeable, quick to respond, and professional. He made the entire process comfortable- which is not an easy feat. I am forever grateful to have had Don represent me. I highly recommend Don and the entire staff at Seiden Law; they really are THE best.
