About:

The firm of Jeney & Jeney was founded in 2000 when my husband, Robert Jeney, and I decided to combine our then 22 years of legal experience at the time. We decided that after 25 years of marriage, we had long established ourselves as life partners, and we were more than ready to work together as law partners. On August 1, 2008, Sarah O'Connor was made a partner. The law firm is now known as Jeney, Jeney & O'Connor, LLC. We are a general practice firm, although Sarah and I practice primarily in the area of Family Law. My practice includes, but is not limited to, Divorce, Child Custody and Parenting Time, Child Support, Alimony and Spousal Support, Equitable Distribution of Assets, Domestic Violence, Adoption, Name Change and Simple Wills. Robert practices in a variety of other areas. Among other things, I am a former Judicial Law Clerk to the Honorable Miriam Span (1993-1994), I sit as a Panelist on the Superior Court of New Jersey Early Settlement Program in Union County, I am a former President of the Union County Bar Association (2010), and I am a member of the Barry Croland Family Inn of Court. We give each client personalized attention to meet your SPECIFIC legal needs. We look forward to working with you and assisting you in resolving your legal problems.

"Bob helped my husband and I when purchasing our home and completing our wills/power of attorney. My husband and I were really clueless on the whole process as we had never bought a home prior and did not research what we should be putting in our wills. Bob explained EVERYTHING and took his time with us as we had lots of questions. We were able to get a great deal on our home because of the suggestions Bob made while reviewing our home inspection with us. We were confident with purchasing our home and completing our wills with Bobs knowledge and guidance!!! Bob never made us feel badly for our lack of experience and constant emails/questions. He is a breath of fresh air!!"

"My family and I have been dealing with Jeney, Jeney & O'Connor for over 20-years. I have referred countless numbers of family and friends to Bob. He is honest, trustworthy and most importantly, cares about his clients. Bob takes the time to listen and cuts through the legalese. I highly recommend Jeney, Jeney & O'Connor."

"We retained Bob Jeney for legal representation in a case concerning our home improvement contractor. He helped us receive protection from our fraudulent contractor and he used his years of experience with the New Jersey Courts to receive judgment & award. Mr. Jeney has always demonstrated patience and compassion in our case. He also was always very honest and promptly returned every one of our calls/emails. The atmosphere in the office is very comforting and all office staff members greet you with a positive outlook and a helpful attitude towards the firm’s clients. His professionalism in understanding our case and situation assured us that Bob Jeney would do what is in the best interest of his client rather than what’s in the best interest for his firm. I would highly recommend Jeney, Jeney & O’Connor for any legal representation."

"I have been a client of Bob Jeney for more than 18 years. I can tell you that he is meticulous in his approach and his advice is always spot on. Bob helped navigate me through some tough waters and all successfully. He is an excellent attorney who cares about you as a person. I would never use another lawyer he is that good."
