Jackie is a sweetheart and seems like she tried to help. But shame on this place!!! Im glad I was not in jail trying to get bailed out WHAT A JOKE!!!! Well finally got a call back and that turned into an argument (real mature) about calling me back. "No you didn't yes i did", like arguing with a 3 year old! Then was told about how complaints have to be made and that the $6,500 retainer will most likely be used up quickly with court and filing, milking me like a cow!!! This is why people dislike lawyers so much, luckily I was able to use a freind to review the docs for me. Save your money and time by avoiding these people all they will do (except Jackie) is scare you and cost you!!!!

He is a true dedicated professional committed to elevating the standards of his practice with evidenced based research and continued education. He is truly humble, personable and an upstanding law abiding counselor. Roanne (his associate) put my mind at ease the first time I spoke to her. I felt such a burden lifted once she spoke to me. I didn't feel like I needed to stress over the case. She is very well spoken and knowledgeable. I liked that I could text or call Roanne at basically any time. I encourage anyone who is in need of an honest, patient and reliable lawyer to trust his advice. His experience will leave you more than satisfied. Catherine Casessa

I found myself in need of a lawyer to represent me in two legal matters. The first was regarding…read moreSocial Security and the second case dealing with the Public Employees Retirement System, better known as (PERS). Like many people I had no idea where to turn. My professional caregiver strongly suggested that I speak with Erica J. Mandell because several clients had similar experiences with social security and they received favorable results from Ms. Mandell and Her services. I telephoned Her office and left my name and contact information. Ms. Mandell returned my call in less than one hour and arranged a consultation for the very next day. Ms. Mandell instructed me to bring along any paperwork that I received from the Social Security Office to the consultation meeting. After reviewing the paperwork and explaining exactly what was contained in the received paperwork and what responses were required, Ms. Mandell agreed to represent me in my cases. Ms. Mandell explained to me it was important to understand what was happening with the cases and She would walk me through everything. That was a promise She completely kept from start to finish. Erica Mandell explains confidentiality and that she would not speak or correspond with any person, medical professional, or other entity without my express written authorization. As with any government agency the rules and regulations can be extremely complex. The Social Security Administration and (PERS) are no different and no less complicated. As a regular person it can be very overwhelming. It was a great relief to have Ms. Mandell there to translate all those letters and documents into something I could understand. She explained what information they requested and required. And the order in which the returned documents needed to be processed. She explained the the out going paperwork was equally as important as incoming documents if the process was to proceed accurately. Step by step with exceptional detail and determination every I was dotted and every T was crossed. I was a difficult client as I was not very willing to discuss my conditions. Erica J. Mandell was able to listen and empathize with all that I am going through and more importantly was able to put the words to the required papers. That was something which I would never have been able to complete on my own. My Social Security Administration case was concluded. The results were favorable on my behalf. It was great relief to myself and my family. Even though all of the documentation was accepted on time and in order without errors or corrections my PERS case required in person testimony by myself, my family, and by medical professionals by an NJ State Judge. Ms. Mandell contacted all of those people and scheduled and spoke with them on my behalf. I think it is important to mention that having and advocate with you during the legal process is essential. I always felt that Ms. Mandell had my best interests in mind during the cases. When speaking with Her, She always referred to it as "our case". It was very clear she was there for me. Even after regular business hours and weekends. On many occasions I left messages on the office phone after hours and She returned my calls that night or early the next day even on the weekend. On more than one occasion Ms. Mandell came to my home when I was unable to travel to Her office. Erica Mandell came highly recommended, She is very knowledgeable and extremely trustworthy. Also extremely detail orientated. Ms. Mandell is very compassionate but a tough fighter with great communication skills who is driven by advocacy. These are just a few of the many reasons why I can without hesitation and with complete confidence endorse Erica J Mandell for any and all legal matters regarding (PERS) and or the Social Security Administration.

We needed an attorney who…read morecould assist us with both the closing of our townhouse in Somerset and the purchase of a new home, which required renovations. We retained Joe's services for many reasons : 1) he's a local attorney who has been practicing for over 30 years 2) he's very experienced with our townhouse community and is familiar with the process and the township requirements 3) He was confident, professional and "can-do" immediately upon speaking with him, and 4) he has an engaging sense of humor that immediately put us at ease. His service exceeded our expectations. He and his assistant Debbie, returned our emails and phone calls immediately, even on a holiday weekend when the offices were closed. He guided us through both a tricky closing and an extremely arduous, lengthy and difficult purchase. He has great instinct, a quality that we highly value in an attorney. With all of the work that he did, he is well worth retaining.

The attorney that handled our closing, Carolyn Kropp, is truly amazing for a number of reasons - she's patient, kind, knowledgeable, considerate, capable, competent, and very responsive. On top of that, she consistently demonstrated a deep passion for her job and worked hard to give us the proper advice. Most importantly, Carolyn was there with us through every step of the way - negotiating our (sometimes tough) concerns with the Seller and coordinating with the bank to make sure they stayed on top of all the necessary items to ensure a timely closing. We feel very blessed and lucky to have worked with Carolyn and highly recommend her and the Law Offices of Norman Albert to anyone looking for a real estate attorney that knows their stuff!

From the day we made the offer until the day we signed our closing papers, Carolyn was our most trusted advisor.

Never did she or Norman lose patience with my pestering, and they made sure that we were able to close on time. I can't say a single bad thing about working with them. You'd be sorely mistaken to pick another attorney in the area.
