Divorce is not only emotionally shattering, it's also a complex legal field. When seeking legal representation, you need to hire a law firm with the expertise and dedication to handle all relevant issues — and also the compassion to ease your anxiety and guide you through the process. Lesnevich & Marzano-Lesnevich, LLC, one of New Jersey's best-known family law firms, scores high on both counts.

A family law firm that handles cases big and small

Madeline Marzano-Lesnevich, who chairs the 11-lawyer family law department, has handled numerous high-profile divorce cases and has a reputation for expertise in high net worth cases. "We deal with diverse client needs," explains Marzano-Lesnevich, "from simple divorces to difficult custody cases and complex economics. There are enough attorneys here to tackle any problem."

Lawyers who understand; Lawyers who help

Lesnevich & Marzano-Lesnevich, LLC approaches all family law clients with a sympathetic attitude. "We maintain a caring personal attitude," says partner Walter A. Lesnevich. "We give out our cell phone numbers for emergencies. We don't shut off our fax machine at five o'clock, because matrimonial problems can erupt at any time. You get expert representation by attorneys who care about the people they are helping."

And they are equally adept at negotiation or litigation. "The goal is to get a good outcome and meet the client's personal needs, preferably without trial. But we're not afraid to try cases when necessary."

A diverse staff with a full range of skills

Although the firm is known for custody and high- profile divorces, they handle cases of all sorts, regardless of complexity or the client's income level. Lesnevich & Marzano-Lesnevich, LLC's family lawyers have experience ranging from two years to over 20 years individually. The firm often employs both a senior partner and a highly qualified mid-level associate for complex cases; the latter performs tasks at lower billing rates.

The firm has unusually high standards for the attorneys it hires. Partner Madeline Marzano-Lesnevich is a Fellow of both the International Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys and the American Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys, as well as a former chair of the Family Law Section of the NJ State Bar Association. Marzano-Lesnevich, Amanda S. Trigg (also a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys) and Scott A. Laterra are each certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as matrimonial law attorneys. Laterra is also a trained mediator. Partner Walter A. Lesnevich, certified as both a civil and criminal law attorney, handles the firm's Hague Convention and international child abduction work with multi-lingual attorneys Galit Moskowitz and Domhnall O'Cathain, and the firm's domestic violence proceedings and marital tort claims along with Michael R. Mildner. "Our lawyers have a total immersion in family law; there's a high emphasis on professional education and growth," explains partner Marzano-Lesnevich.

Resolving your case with the best possible outcome

Whether your case is simple or involves complex issues of property, children, or domestic violence, Lesnevich & Marzano-Lesnevich, LLC will resolve it in a highly skilled and caring way. "We have a full range of experience to deal with everything," says Marzano-Lesnevich, "in order to achieve the best possible outcome at a proper cost level.
