Our Testimonials

A divorce is like a storm. Some are more like a strong thunderstorm, while others are more akin to a hurricane or tsunami. They’re all tough, but some are certainly more extreme than others. Everyone should have an attorney who can think fast on her or his feet, but also has integrity and compassion. It’s especially vital when your divorce is more like a tsunami. Mariann helped navigate me through the divorce process and fought for me and my son. I’m lucky to be able to call her a friend.

-R.D.

Mariann was extremely helpful to the mediation process. She was honest, fair, and nonjudgmental. My experience with her made a painful situation easier to get through. I have and will continue to recommend her to others who find themselves in a position where mediation is an option.

-D.G.

After 20 years of marriage I was completely broken having to face a divorce. I went to 4 different attorneys with a girlfriend who acted as my eyes and ears to help me since my head was still spinning. I felt I could not make a good call on my own. Peter stood out from the rest to both me and my friend!…

-Julie Y.

I retained Peter Laemers after he was highly recommended by another attorney. It was the best choice I made for my case. Peter and his staff helped me through every step of my divorce, which turned into a lengthy and difficult process. He was genuinely committed to protect both my and my children’s best interest. Anytime I had questions or concerns, Peter provided reliable and informed answers and recommendations…

Our Commitment To You

Our attorneys understand the stress, uncertainty and hard decisions that come with divorce and family matters after divorce. We know that each situation is unique, and we will listen to your concerns in order to provide an individualized approach tailored to your specific needs and priorities. For couples who are still able to communicate, mediation can be less expensive, less time-consuming and less contentious than traditional divorce. Our attorneys are all experienced mediators who can help determine whether this process is the right option for you.

At Laemers, Murphy & Neggia, LLC, we prioritize communication, keeping you informed of all important developments and responding promptly to your questions. You can count on personal attention and accessibility throughout your case. We bring these same values to our work with post-divorce matters such as modifications to parenting plans or support orders.

If you are uncertain about where to go next,

turn to our Newton, New Jersey, attorneys. We serve clients throughout Northern New Jersey including Sussex, Morris and Warren counties.
