Paras, Apy & Reiss, P.C. was formed in 1996 by Bonnie Reiss, Patricia Apy and Peter Paras to better serve the needs of their clients in New Jersey and in interstate and international family law disputes. The firm is devoted solely to family law matters. Mrs. Reiss, Mrs. Apy and Mr. Paras share the belief that their clients are best served by a firm whose lawyers, staff and philosophy center on representing the unique needs of separating and divorcing couples. Since its founding, our family law attorneys at Paras, Apy & Reiss, P.C. have remained true to three guiding principles:

1. All divorce cases are unique and require an approach that is tailored to their characteristics. A "cookie-cutter" approach will never do.

2. Communication between lawyer and client is essential to attaining the client's goals in a fair and reasonable manner. Only when the firm and its clients communicate effectively can their shared goals be achieved.

3. There is no substitute for preparation. Preparation is knowing the case better than anyone else in the room (whether courtroom or conference room) and is what creates the position of strength from which positive results flow.

Frequently, firm lawyers are called upon to teach at Continuing Legal Education seminars, to write articles on a myriad of family law issues and to comment on current family law topics. They have also been asked to serve on prestigious legal boards and committees on the national, state and local levels.

The attorneys at Paras, Apy and Reiss, P.C. have vast experience representing family law clients in divorce, custody, domestic violence and financial disputes. They work as a team with knowledgeable and sophisticated paralegals to represent their clients in an intelligent, professional and ethical manner at all times. The wealth of experience gained over many years of practice provides a valuable resource to firm clients and often is an important factor in their achieving favorable results.

The firm also represents clients in mediation and arbitration and our attorneys serve as mediators and arbitrators in cases involving child custody, businesses, professional practices and other complex financial issues. The office is well equipped to provide privacy and comfort to both sides in a mediation, arbitration or negotiation.
