Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group

Horrible firm. Stay away from these people. You are only going to throw away tens of thousands of dollars and get nothing out of it. They are only concerned with billable hours and will ratchet up the costs so quickly it will make your head spin. They do not produce any results. They will continue your case to ensure they can put more hours into working on it while billing you extraordinarily high fees. When your retainer runs out, they will put a billing hold on your case (basically freezing any work), until you put down an additional retainer ($5,000 - $10,000 a shot). They don't care if they've even completed the work that you hired them to do. I had an attorney continue my case, bill a huge amount of extra hours, and then he ended up leaving the firm. Now they want me to pay extra retainer fees to have a new attorney review my case (increasing billable time) before they can continue working on it. Do your homework and find a reputable firm that cares about the client and doing the right thing. Save your money. This firm is definitely not the one you want to choose. more

In looking for an attorney to represent my sister for her divorce, our two requirements were: 1. English-Spanish Bilingual, and 2. Experienced in family law. We found this and more when we met Ms. Raquel Vallejo, Esq. Raquel was always honest and forthright with us from the very beginning and especially during the most difficult times. There were no surprises, as she told us what to expect. She handled my sister’s domestic violence charge and her divorce case with zealousness. She is a professional who demonstrates integrity and her knowledge of the law is unparalleled. I especially liked that she is a caring and humble individual, something that cannot be said of all lawyers. Throughout the long, arduous, and contested divorce Raquel was able to maintain the utmost level of professionalism while handling tough and emotional situations involving my sister. She did an excellent job at providing sound and consistent advice regarding custody and alimony, as well as during mediation. She was very responsive to our questions and always well prepared for court. I found Raquel to be approachable and she kept us well informed throughout the entire process. We were kept up to date with all communications between adversary and court, and we always had important calendar dates and reminders well in advance. We have nothing but excellent things to say about Ms. Raquel Vallejo. She is a dedicated professional who truly cares about her clients and she works hard for them. We are glad to have found a competent attorney who we now call a friend. (On a personal note, I really appreciated how she genuinely cared about my sister's mental and emotional wellbeing throughout this entire process.) We highly recommend her....you will not be disappointed. more

No one seemed to care about my case. They only cared about the money. I ended up settling my own case after waiting months for their help. They are quick to email and harass you about payment but don't truly care about helping you in your case. My case was pushed to the side. After waiting two months for one simple document I ended up writing my own. more

A divorce is something that I personally never thought imaginable. In one of the most difficult moments in my life Raquel Vallejo delivered! Raquel fought hard for me and it’s today that I am happy with the outcome of the divorce. Not only was I awarded joint, shared, legal and physical custody of my son but also no alimony and child support! I never thought this was imaginable but Raquel Vallejo made it happened. During this long 8 month process Raquel was there every step of the way and was on top of things. This horrible experience of divorce was eased by the efforts of Raquel Vallejo. I was recommended to the Weinberger law firm but I am so glad I was given Raquel Vallejo as my lawyer in this process. From the very first time I met her she provided me with my options and also what to expect in this divorce process and from the New Jersey Courts. I never had to hound or be behind Raquel Vallejo because she was in constant communication with me. When I had questions she would respond to me within minutes. One of the things I admire about Raquel Vallejo is that she had her paperwork on point and she is very well organized. When we went to court and the other parties did not have their paperwork or said something wasn’t given to them Raquel Vallejo had her copies with the dates stamped on it. It was amazing! At the end of the day Raquel Vallejo delivered and I highly recommend and endorse her to anyone going through a horrible experience such as a divorce or custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the representation and services of Raquel Vallejo. Last but not least Raquel Vallejo did not only treat me as a client but she also treated me as a person going through a horrible experience and she has a tremendous heart! I owe my life and everything I have to Raquel Vallejo. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! more

I recently concluded an 18 month divorce process and received counsel from Carmela Novi at WLG. I'm forever grateful to Carmela and the WLG team for their knowledge, responsiveness, and compassion, and highly recommend their services. more

In the most challenging moment of my life Weinberger Law Group delivered! Ms. Raquel Vallejo was amazing at explaining the process of divorce to me. She saw the toll this divorce was taking on me and was understanding and compassionate throughout the entire process. I walked into her office unsure, fearful and uncertain as to what the outcome would be. Nevertheless, after it was all said and done she delivered on her promises. I am eternally grateful. to Ms. Vallejo and the Weinberger Law Group family thank you for giving me your best! more

I am writing at this time to commend the Weinberger Law Group on the excellent job they did in representing me in my divorce. I would especially like to thank Raquel Vallejo for her time, efforts and results. A divorce is a horrible thing to go thru and Raquel was there for me not only as a lawyer but as a true supportive resource. She made a bad experience less painful by knowing that I had a lawyer that would guide me every step of the way. From the first session she told me what my options were and what I could except from the NJ Courts. She allowed me to make my own decisions, but also told me what to realistically expect. I feel that I benefited from Raquel’s experience as seasoned veteran with a strong understanding of the NJ Courts, and the personnel we would likely encounter. She made me feel as if I was her only client. Every time that I had a question and I sent her an email she would respond within minutes. She was early or prompt to every meeting and always prepared with complete materials that pertained to my case. Every time the other lawyer did not have something or said that they did not receive it Raquel would have copies of what she sent and knew without looking when it was sent. I feel I received excellent representation to make the best of a bad situation in the interest of not only myself but also for my children. A mere thank you is not enough, so truly thank you.

Our family retained Carmela Novi on the recommendation of another attorney whose judgement I respected, and we found my confidence well placed. Her skill, experience and preparation were exemplary throughout months of legal proceedings and several court appearances. Above all, her advice and counsel, products of her years of experience, proved to be invaluable as we progressed, and were instrumental in leading to an entirely satisfactory resolution. We recommend her wholeheartedly. more

I had a very difficult divorce and had almost given up hope until I met Carmela Novi. It was a rough time in my life, but Carmela and her staff were understanding and compassionate Her knowledge and professionalism went above and beyond what I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Carmela to everyone. more

Jessica Ragno Sprague of Weinberger Law Group was absolutely outstanding. She took over our case under difficult circumstances – another attorney had failed to follow through on a number of issues and we were under pressure to resolve the case quickly. Ms. Sprague has integrity and accomplished more in a matter of months than the previous attorney had accomplished in two years. She was professional, personable, forthright, and presented the case to an arbitrator succinctly and successfully. She and her paralegal were responsive and efficient. This experience resulted in a highly satisfactory outcome. I recommend her without reservation, and thank her for her exemplary performance. more

I recently visited Weinberger Law Group and was so pleasantly surprised by my experience. You think of lawyers as being cold but Bari Weinberger treated me with kindness and gave me true and honest advice. Going through a divorce is an extremely difficult experience, I’m happy I have Bari to help me through the process. I know that she will always be on my side and fight for what I need. more

I met Carmela Novi going through the most difficult challenges of my life. At a time when I was beyond confused and scared, Carmela proved to be a great attorney. I never felt hesitant to confide the details of my story in her, as she patiently listened and took it all in as if she lived through it all with me. She was always honest and frank with me, even when it was hard to hear at times, but am grateful for that. She held my hand through each battle, while keeping a focused but calm demeanor herself. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done, and would recommend Carmela Novi to anyone!!! more

1. Jessica Ragno Sprague quickly and painlessly was able to obtain a guardianship over a family member of mine who is mentally challenged. I cannot say enough good about the way she and the entire staff at Weinberger Law Group treated us, and how quickly she was able to obtain the guardianship and how sensitive and caring everyone was to my family member. The cost was less than I anticipated and the representation was superb. more

Excellent law firm. Caring, compassionate in their office, and then assertive and as aggressive as needed at the negotiating table. I highly recommend for divorce cases, especially if you have a tricky child custody issue. more

The members of The Weinberger Law Group are second to none. I was personally represented by Bari Weinberger and her level of expertise and knowledge of family law was incredible. She went above and beyond to ensure that I understood all the facets of my case and left no stones unturned. I was kept abreast of the status of my case in a timely manner and was completely prepared every step of the way with Bari's guidance. I would recommend no one other than Bari Weinberger for case work in the field of family law. Whether you are working directly with Bari or one of the members of her firm, you will receive nothing less than the highest level of professionalism. more

I had a complex New Jersey divorce and child custody matter. The team of attorneys at Weinberger Law Group protected my children, my assets, and helped me through this difficult time in my life. I highly recommend their legal services. Also, I can't mention their firm without mentioning the incredible free NJ family law resources located on their web-site. It helped me become educated about the process and what to expect even before meeting with them.? more
