"Just hired Michael Fleres and so far he’s already given me more options than my last lawyer even told me were possible. I have a high conflict case and had trouble finding someone who actually took the time to listen until I reached out to this law firm. Consultation was free and by the time it was over I felt relieved that someone who knew what they were doing was going to handle my case the right way this time. I had filed the wrong application trying to represent myself and he is working on helping me fix that. So let them file, don’t file yourself. I don’t understand laws so it’s been a headache trying to get things right but I could tell this lawyer genuinely wants to. People in my circle had been begging me to find another lawyer and not give up and I’m glad I did because I was 2 seconds away from losing all hope until I spoke with this attorney. I’m excited that things will finally be made right. I know other lawyers are listed to handle high conflict cases with coercive control and harassment but this man here is the real deal. These lawyers will listen to you and fight for you. Tell them the truth and let them do the rest. Call them you won’t regret it!!!!!"

"I highly recommend Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark law firm for anyone facing a difficult case. Mine was a post-dissolution case. I found them through Avvo.com and was impressed by Laurie's free advice. They did not disappoint. They were exceptionally professional and not only had my back every step of the way, but most importantly, they truly fought for the best interests of our children. They listened patiently to all my grievances and turned them into clear, persuasive legal arguments that made a real difference — enough for a judge to care and address the issues that mattered most. When my ex took the defense too far into unnecessary territory, the firm worked closely with me to suggest smart, money-saving strategies that protected my time and resources. In the end, they not only won most points in my case but also defeated a series of appeals my ex filed. While every situation is unique, I can say with absolute certainty that I would hire this firm again without hesitation. Nicole represented me through most of this long journey, and she is an absolute diamond — knowledgeable, steady, and genuinely dedicated. I’m so grateful for her, Grace, and the entire team. Laurie, thank you for your leadership and guidance!"

"Can I give less then 1 star? Worst law firm in NJ, forget about the associate attorney one of the owner Paul is terrible also. Took my 40% retainer money without doing single work. One of the owner sending rude email stating stop, enough this are the treatment you will receive from your attorney. So better find some other firm if you don’t want to waste time and money."
