"Robin and Dave were a great team fighting for me during my divorce from a controlling narcissist. Fighting for your freedom against a person like that is not an easy task to say the least. I worked mostly with Robin and Dave jumped in when needed. I nick named Robin “The Pitbull” because she doesn’t let anyone walk all over her. Also, her background and knowledge in the courtroom was astounding. Her staff was also very kind and worked hard keeping me up to date on the latest happenings."

"Outstanding Attorney for a Difficult Divorce I went through a highly contentious four-year divorce and custody battle, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney than Robin and Dave. Their expertise, strategic approach, and relentless advocacy were invaluable in securing the best possible outcome for me and my children. Wernik and Salvatore handled every challenge with professionalism and never backed down, even when the other side was unreasonable. They kept me informed, answered all my questions, and provided unwavering support throughout the process. If you need a strong, knowledgeable, and dedicated attorney to guide you through a tough divorce, I highly recommend Dave and Robin. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment."

"I'm going to bore you with some details so you can truly understand why I am writing this review. My Divorce was back in 2010 and was very contentious.At that time I spent $500,000 on attorneys and to be completely open I fired what was known as the best attorney's in the county. Reason being was that my case dragged on(the oldest case in Monmouth County) for over 2.5 years.I felt that the attorneys at that time were doing what is know as Milking the file. Eventually we settled. Roll the clock forward to 2019 and my EX was looking for more yet again with all types of false allegations.I guess my being remarried and living a great life since 2018 has her twisted. At that time I heard about Robin and David through a friend. Based on my past experience I decided to interview them rather than just hire them. I was immediately impressed with their down to earth( not full of themselves like to big firms) style. They were hired! David made the issue go away immediately when he came back at my Exs attorney like a Tiger. Roll the clock forward to this past September and I get hit with a big fat Motion filled with all demands for high six figure back payments, it was a twisted version of the final judgement from 2010.As you can image I was a nervous wreck. I immediately called David,At that time he put me at ease and shot holes in the entire motion. What I really like is David was very direct and explains everything in detail.He gave me the confidence going into the Motion Hearing. When we had the hearing ,David's reply to the motion blew the other attorney away and all I kept hearing from the judge was-MOTION DENIED,MOTION DENIED. I actually leaned over and kissed him. In addition to stomping them out he did it at a very affordable fee. Robin and Dave don't run the bill up at all. Dave was very forthright with his fees and came in much less than I thought. I Strongly Recommend Robin and David! PS The staff is very nice also."
