I hired Melissa Zemsky after having a horrible experience with an attorney from North Jersey. The…read moreattorney I hired at that firm was a woman (I wanted a female attorney), and I was immediately turned over to a male associate that I didn't know, and I didn't feel he was advocating for me. After expressing my frustration to my Pastor, who worked in a courthouse for 26 years, he highly recommended Melissa Zemsky. In fact, he said "the only lawyer I would recommend to anyone going through what you are going through is Melissa Zemsky because she will put her heart and soul into every case. I have seen her in action". I feel that Melissa was sent to me from Heaven. Being that I was so blindsided by my ex-husband, I feel that Melissa was honest, direct, efficient and was reasonable with her fees. She was result-oriented. Melissa brought my case to a quick conclusion. My case was lingering in Union County; Melissa came in, got me the results I needed let allowed me to finally move on with my life. I learned to love Melissa not only as a professional but also as a great human being that showed me how to be a stronger, more independent woman. I highly highly recommend Melissa to anyone that going through a divorce because I know how hard it could be.

PURPOSELY HOLDING MY FILES FROM ME AND MY NEW ATTORNEY SINCE 6/10/25 and today is 6/13/25. WHY ???…read moreThey took my money with no problem. I even reached out to the partners Ross and Calandrina and they haven't help me either. Still trying to prolong my case and they were FIRED!!! I would highly recommend you NEVER use this law firm if you want results and are looking for a lawyer who is professional and does their due diligence. I made the mistake of hiring Jodi Argentino for a very serious and emotional case. I signed a retainer on 2/4/25 and as of 6/10/25 she still had no confirmation from the opposing attorney about an a simple appt for an appraisal. She never even called the other attorney. SHE may have sent 4 emails to him asking very passively about going forward with an appraisal. Never took charge, never gave deadlines and didn't follow up until I asked what was going on. Let months pass doing nothing. NEVER once returning a phone or her assistant. Didn't answer emails. What professional attorney does not answer emails or phone calls. Is this who you want working on your case? Had to fire her because all she did was drag my case and drain me of my money. In my opinion all she cared about was prolonging my case so she could take every dime I had. It's all about the MONEY not doing her due diligence. So UNPROFESSIONAL that she didn't even respond to my new professional attorney When he requested my file on JUNE 10. How nasty and vindictive to hold my files from my new attorney and purposely hold my case up. I am sure I will get charged for that. How horrible can a person be?? To just drag her feet just to take my money. This was an easy case that didn't need over 4 months of promised actions and follow ups that she never did. March 28 she sent an email to the opposing attorney that she would send a list of appraisers. SHE NEVER DID THAT. How is that professional. I finally did her job and did the research and gave her recommendations for appraisers on JUNE 5 which she forwarded to the opposing attorney and as of JUNE 10. She still did not set up an appt with the appraiser. I had enough of her lack of communication, neglect and misrepresentation. How many emails did I get saying 'she would start drafting the complaint " SHE NEVER DID from March until June. AT least 2 times she forgot to send me an email response from the opposing attorney. WOW is that the type of attorney you should trust with your case. If I didn't follow up I won't have gotten those emails. My fault for staying this long. I should have fired her the 1st time she lied to me . Retainer was received 2/19 and 1st email was not sent out until 3/6 . She always had excuses. She would give me a date when it would be done. I would contact her asking if It was done yet and hear another excuse she would give me another day it would be done and nothing was done (except taking my MONEY) it's always about the MONEY. Here is the best part. Fired Jodi June 10, my new attorney requested my file she NEVER sent it. So being a "professional " he "CALLED" the opposing attorney (less then 24 hrs of being hired) something Jodi NEVER did in over 4 MONTHS. So by 11am on June 11 my new attorney had spoken with opposing attorney and the opposing attorney had an appointment with the appraiser for the next day. See what happens when you hire a lawyer who has the clients best interest in mind. The lawyer does his due diligence and gets things accomplished. He even called me. WOW Jodi never called me. If you want the name of a good lawyer who gets things done for the client and doesn't just take your MONEY and delay things to take more MONEY contact me. The new attorney did more in less then 24 hrs then Jodi did in over 4 months

Today, my divorce was finalized, thanks to Robyn Ross…read more Robyn is not only an amazing attorney, but she truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them feel at ease in what can be a very scary time. At one point in my divorce, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to continue. Robyn turned to me and said " I'm not going to leave you." She is a woman of her word. I am so grateful to her for helping me to get my life back. She is truly my Guardian Angel.

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.

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.

A co-worker of mine who went through a messy and complicated divorce recommended Diamond & Diamond…read moreto me. With all the money-hungry law firms out there, I was extremely concerned that I would wind up with a firm that did not have my best interest at heart. Thank God I did not have that negative experience that unfortunately so many people face during one of the hardest times in their life. I wanted a law firm that would see me as an individual and personalize my case--since not every case is the same. Choosing Diamond & Diamond to represent me is one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the first Zoom call with Richard, he gave me his unyielding and undivided attention. I am not one to skimp on details, and he listened intently to everything I shared. From the get-go, my gut told me I was in the very best hands with him. I trust him and his decisions fully. Angela, the paralegal, is a saint. I lost track of the number of times I called her crying. Her kind voice every time she answers the phone always gives me comfort, even when she knows minutes after she sends me an email, I will be calling the office. Jonathan, Richard's son, who is also a lawyer at the firm is an absolute Godsend and so bright. He does not miss one detail! It boggles my mind sometimes. Jon remembers things that even I don't even remember! I have full faith in him. The number of endless hours, time, and attention to detail that Jonathan and Richard have put into my case is truly remarkable, and their professionalism is unparalleled. I haven't worked as closely with Lynn (Richard's partner), but she has represented me in a case management conference. She is incredibly intelligent, and I did not doubt for a second that she would fight for me. With all the emotions, turmoil and stress a divorce can bring, it is a HUGE relief to know that things behind the scenes are being taken care of, and that I have one fewer thing to worry about. Jon and Richard think outside the box. They always have a plan, and never leave me in the dark about anything. I can always reach them, and I have never felt like I was not a priority. I will be writing another review when this is all over and done with, but until then, I wanted to express my gratitude to all of you. Richard, Jon, Angela, and Lynn, you are all angels in my life. Thank you for not rushing me off the phone every time I call concerned or crying or needed something explained to me. Thank you for appreciating my quirky personality. Thank you for treating me as if I am your only client (when I am anything but) and thank you for always having my best interest at heart and fighting tirelessly for me. The amount of hard work and detail that goes into everything you do does not go unnoticed and to say it is appreciated is a giant understatement. Richard and Jonathan, as a young woman whose life has been turned upside down, to have you both protecting and fighting for me means the world to me. For all this and more, I say thank you. -A

The 2nd time I was even more impressed because I had asked for legal advice from a friend and it was not getting done. Richard was hired and in 1.5 months he had accomplished what we had hired him to do which was have our son emancipated and free us from paying any more child support since he had been going to school for almost 7 years. Richard is an exceptional lawyer and knows the family law very well. We learned about him because someone he went against recommended him. I highly recommend him!
