    Linda specializes in Elder Law and S.S. disability law. She is very knowledgeable & professional…read moreand pays attention to the smallest details. Her staff is business-like and competent. She helped me in 2004 and I was very satisfied with everything, including the final outcome. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. The office moved from Raritan Rd to Walnut Ave., which has ground level entry and an elevator. This move eliminates the flight of (indoor) stairs to reach the office.

    If one is looking for assistance with elder care, DO NOT retain Lauren Marinaro…read more She makes promises on which she cannot deliver, blows by deadlines and is nearly impossible to reach. Some emails were answered, but rarely did they address the questions posed. One can beg for a phone call, which I did many times, and one will receive nothing. During an exceptionally emotional and difficult time, she only added to the stress. I would plead with her to respond and answer the questions I had posed. For three Fridays in a row, she did a document dump and then was unable to speak. No guidance, no advice. This would spiral me and she knew it. She has, what I perceive to be, a sadistic streak. On one particular Friday, another document dump with an email which read my changes would tank the deal. She emailed this at 8:20 in the morning. I spent the rest of the day emailing and calling. All I wanted was to know was what specifically did she find objectionable so I could reread and reevaluate. Nothing. No response at all. She had ALL day to send an email and chose instead to leave me worried and wondering all weekend. She also seemed very concerned with opposing counsel's reactions. On more than one occasion she was hesitant to relay what I instructed her to write. On several occasions, her ONLY concern was that she did not want to upset the other attorney. She was not advocating for me. We finally met in person and had a very productive discussion. I walked out of her office convinced she was clear on what I would accept and what was a hard pass. Well, I come to learn the new proposal was submitted to opposing counsel without sharing it with me, her client, prior to sending it. This new agreement, written by my attorney, included releases which she understood I was never going accept. All she did was rewrite opposing counsel's requests which, had I signed, would have released the individual from being held accountable for the possible malfeasance in this individual's role as Co-PoA. This was my lawyer, assisting the other side. She literally took the clauses I objected to and simply rewrote them. She was advocating for everyone but her client. Additionally, her demeanor is mercurial. One never knows which version one will get. She had the nerve and disrespect to SCREAM at me twice and once at my husband. (I know we should have dumped her, but she kept telling me we were so close.) She screamed in a manner that if one saw a parent yell like this at a child one would be concerned. The screaming was unbelievable and unwarranted. She also send disrespectful emails written in all caps. Now one of the worst parts. We were hoping to wrap this up this week. I was very clear with her that I had a busy Thursday and plans from Friday to Tuesday. I shared with her that my only hope for this weekend was to spend time with my children. I begged her not to delay. I begged her not to wait until Friday. All I wanted was to avoid a fourth weekend of torment all done at her hands. Well Thursday comes and I cancel my appointments for nothing. She did not email or call. Friday morning she quit. She quit on the day we were meant to finally end this email. Sadistic. She is sadistic and truly appears to enjoy spiraling her clients. She used to threaten to quit often and also asked if we wanted to fire her. So very professional. Unprofessional, unethical, disrespectful, overwhelmed, and downright unhinged. Stay away. Unfortunately for the practice, she is now lead partner. I cannot see this firm continuing on with the lead partner treating clients as if they were less than. Save your time, money, and sanity and find another attorney. Happy ending nevertheless. Once she quit, opposing counsel reached out to our family attorney and wrapped up the agreement. It took a couple of hours to complete what Lauren could not accomplish in seven weeks. One can find a much better elder care/estate planning attorney.

    Our journey with legal representation did not start with Scott Kraus and Jack Lipari through…read moreHelmer, Conley and Kasselman, P.A, but it did end with this phenomenal firm. Their professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, honesty, communication, and loyalty are unwavering. It is hard to put into words how difficult it is to watch someone you love fight for their life within a system that is so broken. Finding a lawyer, you can trust with advocating for them is just the start. Continuing to make decisions that seem like a lose-lose situation knowing they will forever shape your future is devastating. Having a firm not only listen to your concerns, but truly make their best effort in finding ways to a positive result and fighting fiercely for what's right makes the process a little less stressful. They exceeded our expectations in every aspect and then some. During the difficult time of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of the world, this firm did not miss a beat. In fact, they moved mountains to ensure that we were not lost in the mix of the legal system. Scott and Jack explained step by step the process in getting the help we needed, never once misled us, and worked with us every step of the way keeping us constantly informed and educated. We will be forever grateful for the time they spent in our corner and for the continuous support by reaching out for updates even after our case was resolved. Our only regret is not finding them sooner. There is nothing too small or too large that they cannot assist with. Going above and beyond is just one of the many reasons why we not only recommend them but insist that you consider hiring them to be your voice. You will not be disappointed.

    I can't thank Scott P. Kessler from Team Law enough. After talking with several other lawyers,…read moreScott was the only lawyer who thought my case was worth fighting for even when the reward for both parties in the end was small. To make a long story short, I lost a tooth eating at a restaurant. I just really wanted the restaurant to make it right and pay for my medical bills to get a tooth implant. When calls went unanswered I approached legal consultation. Many lawyers didn't thing the reward in the end was enough for representation. Scott on the other hand said regardless, no case is too small or too big for legal representation. They took a chance on me when no one wanted to bother. In the end I got my money back from the tooth implant and then some for pain and suffering. Like he said I won't get rich, but my medical bills would be covered and a few extra for pain and suffering. Scott and his team did just that with the firm getting a small fair share of the compensation. Remember to whomever goes to Team Law, it's not about the profit, it's about you and your case. They will work night and day with their best foot forward to get you the best possible financial compensation in the end. I now know who to go to for future claims if any. I didn't think any lawyer would take this case after being rejected by many. Thank you Scott and his team from being persistent and professional. A year has passed since we met a final time, but I never forgot that I needed to spread the word of Team Law who puts the clients first in my opinion. Give them a try for your personal injury case that may come about. Thank you Scott and I wish you and your firm much success.

I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for legal representation.
