Herbert & Weiss, LLP 162 Engle Street, Englewood, NJ 07631

"I used the services of Herbert & Weiss LLP for an Annulment/Divorce. I was treated kindly and well respected. Everyone I had contact with was very knowledgeable about all aspects dealing with my case. I'm a person who very rarely does reviews. But because this firm did such an outstanding job with my case, I feel compelled to share this information"

"From the first I contacted this office, about two & a half years ago until the day now, I knew I was in good hands. I am so thankful and grateful for everything that these women have done for me. I’m very impressed with the legal staff. you could not ask for a more understanding and caring team. I highly recommend them, and if I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to contact this firm, no questions ask."

"I am so impressed by the Attorneys at Herbert and Weiss. They are compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable, and make sure they are always in your corner. They listen and they are fierce when it comes to representation of your rights within the law. I feel so lucky that they represent me and have real understanding of how important my case is to me."

"Though I didn't directly hire this firm...I am compelled to leave this review. I would exercise extreme caution before hiring this firm! The experience with this firm has been horrible. I have never met such irresponsible and borderline unethical attorney's. My husband and I decided to file form divorce early this year and to be on the safe side, we hired this firm to represent him. Margaret Ochner was the attorney assigned to this case. I did not hire an attorney at the time because my husband and I planed for an amicable divorce and there was no need to hire an attorney as we just needed “AN” attorney to file the case for us. From the start this office messed up our case by filing the initial divorce complaint in the WRONG county. Once I brought this to their attention (because they did not even notice), they filed a motion to change venue to have the case transferred with the proper court who had jurisdiction of our case. The motion was rejected because they did not include a certificate of service. So now they file a second amended motion to change venue and again this motion gets rejected because they filed it incomplete! Finally, when our case made it to the proper court, I found it necessary to hire my own attorney because it was clear that my husband’s attorney was completely useless! She then sends an email 30 days after the case is in the proper venue saying that she is filling for a default judgment against me because I did not answer to the divorce complaint! Ludacris! Again, failing to acknowledge that by this point I was already represented. So not only did she mess up our case but then tried to wipe her hands clean by trying to file an improper default. After she is put on notice AGAIN that I am represented, both my husband and I provided her a typed document which covered all aspects of was supposed to be a simple divorce. We provided this document back in May. She represented to my husband that she was working on the final agreement and when we appeared in court for the first time in early November, the Judged scheduled us for a final divorce hearing foe 12.21.2022 TODAY, where he would pronounce us divorced since we already had an agreement in the works. She was given an additional 6 weeks or more to complete the agreement she was supposedly working on since May. We followed up countless times on the status of the agreement and she never provided an update. Then finally she has the nerve to lie and say that my husband has made changes to the agreement (she said this 2 days before the scheduled hearing) which was totally untrue. She then finally sends a FIRST draft of the final agreement less than 48 hours before our final hearing, and wouldn’t you know it… mistakes everywhere even to which she used the wrong pronounce on our child listing her as male instead of female. After countless back and forth with finalizing the agreement, we finally ended up divorced but it didn't come without unnecessary delays and heartache as if a divorce is not difficult already. She definitely made this process completely traumatizing and unnecessarily difficult and she was way over her head in pretending to understand this case. She didn't even know how to file a proper motion to change venue! None of the heartache we experienced should have happened had she been more diligent and ethical. Steer far away from this firm!"

"Helayne is an amazing lawyer and person. I had been searching for counsel for a few months and was ready to give up before I was referred to her, but I am so grateful I didn't. She's fair, honest, and highly knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable sharing my story with her and made an ugly process a lot easier."
