Worked with this law firm and they just finalised my family law case. All the team were helpful, responsive, and worked hard for me. Got what we were asking for in court. Highly recommend Weinberger Law!

We chose Carmela to assist my wife with a house and other open items from an older Settlement Agreement. She was great to work with, knowledgeable, and steered us on a path to a successful conclusion for an acrimonious and difficult situation. Great job!

I believe when you need council, you go to specialists with backing and a history. The firm of Weinberger meets those needs related to Family Law. Later in my case Mara Dooskin of the Hackensack office was very helpful, informative and positive. Jeannette in accounting was immediately on any of my questions or concerns. Happily divorced client. Thank you!

Hired Law Firm

It’s unfortunate because they’re all about the money and never about the client. They caused another lawsuit by not handling my case properly and still charged me six figures to prep my case, yet did nothing when it fell apart in court. Just billed me and never helped afterwards. I’ve since had to hire a smaller but reliable law firm.

Hired Law Firm

Working with this law firm was a horrible experience and I warn you to stay away unless you have money to throw away. My first lawyer fumbled through my case and then abruptly was fired and my case was still up in the air and I was left with a stressful mess. The firm assigned me another lawyer at significantly more money who was also substandard and had issues and then she left the firm as well. The firm did compensate me for the first lawyers time spent however the damage was done in the time he took and the delay in my case cost me in court as this was a custody case and starting all over with another lawyer. Then she left left the firm and I was assigned me to an EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUSLY priced lawyer and I simply ran out of money (bait and switch) and had to go to another firm. I wrote a note to the woman in charge of Weinberger Law and I was not given the curtsey of a reply call or email but instead a bill for money still owed. They are cold and deal in volume not quality.

My female attorney indicated a unrealistic settlement. She also did not respond in a satisfactory way to the defendants attorney. Very unhappy with the Weinberger firm. All they were good about was asking for more money in a timely manner. Stay away, go to a smaller firm with less overhead. There has to be a reason for a high lawyer turnover rate.

Hired Attorney Carmela L. Novi

I hired Camela Novi and it was a waste of time and money. She was always late for our previously scheduled phone calls. She didn’t conference with me prior to making calls with the other party (to bill). When I asked her about it, her explanation didn’t make any sense. She was always eating when we spoke on the phone and unprepared. I had to take time (money) to explain things to her that we had already discussed. Lastly, she gave horrible advice. I fired her.

Hired Law Firm

With regret I hired The Weinberger family law firm. I initially reached out to the managing partner of the firm Bari Weinberger who never contacted me. I was directed to an associated attorney in the firm who said all the right things to sell me on hiring the firm. Sadly, communication was slow and in some cases non existent. I am not sure if the associate is inexperienced, overworked or just bad. Due to Covid I was never even able to meet with my attorney. At one point I even reached out to Ms. Weinberger to express my concerns and request a different attorney with in the firm as I had no confidence. I never received a response. While response to questions and filings were often late, last minute or never received the bills were right on time and I was hounded to pay. Be cautious, be very, very cautious.

Hired Law Firm

My experience with Weinberger could not have been worse. I had a divorce attorney that was totally incompetent, and after wasting hundreds of hours and countless thousands of dollars trying to get him to do his job, I was forced to hire another attorney. I wasted a year with this company, only to find out that the attorney is no longer employed there. I have reached out repeatedly to one of the partners on this issue, and have received no response. Divorce is extremely stressful under the best of circumstances, and my experience at Weinberger made it exponentially worse. I am so grateful I found a brilliant attorney helped me get everything I was entitled to, and more. Almost all of what my first attorney told me was NOT TRUE, and I would NEVER recommend this firm to anyone seeking competent legal representation

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
