I had an excellent experience working with Barbara and her receptionist Rose for my husband and I's prenuptial agreement. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, worked quickly within our timeline and paid close attention to every little detail.<br><br>Barbara took the time to walk me through the entire process and made sure I fully understood everything at each step. She is extremely knowledgeable and I felt very confident trusting her from the very beginning. Both she and Rose were extremely communicative, kind and professional throughout.<br><br>What really stood out was how personable they both were. Despite the legal nature of the work, they made the entire experience feel comfortable and easy to navigate. When I met them in person, they were so warm, welcoming and genuinely so pleasant to work with!<br><br>They even checked in on me after our wedding to see photos and celebrate in our happy moments, which meant so much to me. I am very grateful for their help and I

Barely remembered anything about my case. Very disorganized. I had to do 99% of the work. And just dragged out the process. I eventually represented myself and got the favorable result I was looking for. I would not recommend Barbara at all.

I highly recommend this law firm. They are extremely knowledgeable, straight to the point, and truly get the job done. They do not waste time and stay focused on what matters most. Their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail made a stressful process much easier. I felt confident knowing they were on my side every step of the way. This is the lawyer you need for any type of child support matters specially if you're a dad. The best lawyer in Bergen County For Child Support.

I had a free consultation with Barbara Cowen regarding my divorce and found her to be an honest and trustworthy attorney. Her secretary was also amazing. I highly recommend her services.
