Firm Reviews

They were very precise and professional.

We used Lyons & Associates, PC to assist us with legal affairs after our mother passed away. They were very precise, professional and helpful from the beginning to the end of the process. They met our assigned deadline to complete all the necessary actions. We plan to use them again in the future if the need arises.

Your professionalism was greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for representing me. I’m relieved it’s all over. I have copies of all correspondence and documents saved. I also received the final judgment with the seal in the mail. I don’t think I’ll be needing anything else. Thank you all. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated.

Professionalism At Its Best!

Dear Ms. Lyons,

I sincerely appreciate you sharing this good news with me. It is such an honor to be selected by your peers and I will say Marissa is truly deserving of this honor. Congratulations to my former attorney Marissa A. DelMauro, Esq.

Marissa, Thank you for all you have done for me. The personal and professional attention I received, as if I was the only client, was superb and unmatched.

Congratulations to you, Theresa, and the other Lyons lawyers being honored on their achievements as well.

At this time, I would also like to acknowledge the work also done by Yvonne Severini, Legal Assistant to Marissa A. DelMauro.

Without the help and guidance of Marissa and Yvonne I don’t think my case would have gone as smoothly as it did. Professionalism at its best!

I wish Lyons & Associates all the best for a prosperous 2023. Keep up the good work.

Thank you again

Highly Recommended

The purpose of this letter is to thank Mr. William Lemega and staff for their sensitivity and kindness (not to mention patience) in their assistance with my personal matter.

We had difficulty contacting the New Jersey Courts from our home in Thailand to obtain a copy of a divorce decree.  The decree is needed to support the immigration application for my wife – a very important matter for our family.  Perhaps due to COVID or security precautions since we were contacting them from overseas (I support security precautions) we could never get a response. 

Therefore I contacted Lyons and Associates for assistance.  They referred me to the capable hands of Mr. Lemega. William’s kind and understanding attitude immediately gave me confidence that he would take care of our matter.  

I thought this was a quick and easy issue – a trip to City Hall to request the divorce decree then mail it to me.  However Mr. Lemega was thrown a few curves in the process:  First my Thailand Debit card payment was not processed, and he and staff spent time trying to figure it out for me. He waited patiently for payment.  Then I realized his office was not in Atlantic City but was in North Jersey – that took him some extra time and effort to request the document.  Finally the Atlantic City Court no longer had the document and referred him to contact the Trenton Court. More work and a longer way around for my request. 

Mr. Lemega probably spent 3 – 4 times the amount of time and effort he usually spends for an issue such as ours, but was always courteous and helpful, and achieved results for us. We appreciate his persistence and are very grateful for all of his work.  I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring assistance with matters such as ours.

Now one last thing … since my wife will soon be off to the USA for her immigration process, can William offer assistance with my farm and housework and care for my children while she is gone?

Thanks again for all of your work and assistance.  We feel we have friends now at Lyons

Absolutely thrilled.

Absolutely thrilled with my decision to call them. The level of concern for our case is beyond comforting. Their attention to detail is exemplary. We feel very confident and prepared heading to court next week.

More than 5 star recommendation.

Ms. Theresa Lyons is the definition of incredible and extremely well versed at what she does. She worried about what was best for my son and myself, and never wasted any energy on anything other than just that. She’s a beast disguised as a human, she does not back down and effectively communicated and advised me at all times. More than 5 star recommendation.

Family Law Attorney

I have worked as a financial professional on several divorce cases with David. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. He genuinely cares for his clients, and gets superior results in all of the cases that I have particpated in. I would highly recommend him.

Source:

Rock Solid Attorney who does right!

As always, your attorney is only as good as you let him be. Being truthful and honest and having full disclosure with your attorney is the key to any successful result. David is a straight shooter. He never mislead me and on many occasions took the time to explain the ins and outs of child custody and what to expect. As I read the Morris County Bar Association’s Code of Professionalism, I can without a doubt state that Mr. Salvaggio exemplifies the very core at the heart of this code. He is a trusted professional who truly cares about his clients and not just the bottom line. As a client who has needed Mr. Salvaggio’s assistance over the last 3 years, it has been a long journey, but not one without great rewards. My 3 year old son’s future success in life will ultimately be the end result of Mr. Salvaggio’s hard work and dedication to excellence.Less

Exceptional, Empathic Representation


The Salvaggio Law Group provided me with excellent advice and representation when my former wife initiated an inappropriate process in the Morris County Court. The research conducted by the firm and the level of preparation that went into my defense in this complex situation, involving three different jurisdictions, was outstanding. The case was dismissed. Throughout the very stressful process, I found David and the members of the firm to be very empathic and reassuring.

Choosing the right attorney is vital to the outcome of your case and your personal well-being.

After a great deal of research to find the best New Jersey divorce lawyer for my situation, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. David Salvaggio would be the right choice for my complex divorce case, and I was right. I received the best legal advice and representation I could ever have wished for. The divorce proceeded without incident, and I received everything I wanted in the settlement including the custody arrangement, which I was not willing to budge on.
I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Salvaggio. I told him during our first conversation that I wanted an attorney that would care as much about my case as if he were my father in that courtroom. I know it sounds funny, but I got that. I cannot thank him and his law group enough for working so hard for me and my child. We can now start over with peace of mind.

Source:

Responsive-Professional-Truly Concerned

Mr. Salvaggio spoke to me in such a way that I felt a real concern for my situation. He explained how we should proceed in a way that I felt confident that he had his hands fully around what was happening in my case. His responsiveness was fabulous! Everyone in his firm were helpful as well. Would highly recommend Mr. Salvaggio’s professional help.

Salvaggio Law Group

David did a great job of listening to my concerns and suggestions. He was very open and receptive to any ideas I had. He gave me the best advice for each aspect of my divorce process. I always felt he respected my wishes and had my best interests in the forefront of my settlement.

Source:

Knowledgeable & Caring

David and his staff are caring, warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable in their field. My calls were returned in a timely manner if David or his staff were unavailable to me at the time I called in. David explained to me in terms that I would understand what to expect in my legal process and made a very difficult situation a little more bearable knowing I was in good hands. David genuinely cares about his clients and it shows in his business work ethic. I’m truly grateful to have had David represent me and would recommend him hands down!

Source:

Thank you

I absolutely would recommend David and the collaborative process to anyone I knew whose goal it was to put their family and children first in the divorce process. From our first phone call David’s concern for the well being of my daughter and for the changing concept of family during this process reassured me that I had made the right decision to engage him and his team. His assistance with navigating this challenging time in my life is irreplaceable and I can’t thank him enough for that.

Source:

Experienced and Even Keeled

David was a great resource in ensuring the smooth resolution of my divorce. His great advice and analytical nature saved me issues and he was very good at balancing my emotions as the process became arduous.

Source:

Professional, efficient and focused on resolution rather than billable hours

I hired Kevin to pursue an alimony reduction. An emotional time for all, Kevin was able to keep emotions in check amongst all partiers while swiftly resolving the case without extensive court proceedings and filings. His spot-on advice led to a mutually agreed upon resolution. Kevin returned calls within 24 hours (most times much sooner), always was “in-touch” with my case and most of all, communicated in a clear and straightforward manner. He earned my trust and highest recommendation.

Source:

Custodial issues

Kevin is my lawyer for many year as I deal with my child’s custodial issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. He has always responded my legal issues with patience and understanding. Therefore, he is quite personable as well as professional. I highly recommend him because he has helped me solved some of the most difficult situations that a father has to go through as well as a child.

Source:

Divorce/Custody

Kevin was my attorney for my divorce. He is patient and always provided me with excellent advice. He always returned my calls or emails quickly and gave my case its full attention. He continues to help me with ongoing issues with custody etc. I would highly recommend him. Extremely professional.

Source:

Knowledgeable, Professional and Personal

Kevin handled my alimony reduction process with expertise, while keeping me well informed and including me in the decision making. In the end, he achieved the financial goal I wanted without causing further damage to relationships. And through it all Kevin always responded promptly to my emails or phone calls — which is not always the case with many lawyer/client interactions. I highly recommend Kevin for Family Law issues.

Source:

Helpful & responsive

Kevin was very helpful, and provided good counsel in a complicated case. He responded quickly to many different requests, and was thorough in his review of the details in this case.

Source:

Diligent and Kind person

I cannot thank Mr Ku, Kevin W. enough for his great due diligence on my case. He resolve my case within 2-months, an unbelievable time, base on many lawyers I talked before him. Best thing is that he did not promise me any time, he just delivered it. After realizing that a con law firm was ripping me off for last 7 months with not clue of ending the case. Unable to see any light at end of the tunnel, I was heartbroken and clueless. With my faith on second chance, I started to look for a lawyer for second opinion. I virtually talked to 5 lawyers in the area, all of them offered 15 to 30 mins free consultation time, but none give me time to speak. It was time the layers used to collect my information and advertising their firm. Some of them even asked me to signup for follow up session or retain their office while on the phone!My search for a layer stopped after talking to Mr. Ku. The only questions he asked me was “Tell me what happened?” I was given a time to explain my issue without interruption. My questions were answered with reasonable follow up questions. He listened and he heart me! I first asked him to review my case for a second opinion, but I changed my mind an hour later. I called him back to ask if can take over my case. As soon as Mr. Ku agreed to take my case, I fired my sloppy lawyer! That was my best decision of year 2021.
Summary:
– he listens and understands you.
– he presents your case with supporting data/numbers/clear rationale
– he is keep your case transparent to you like a glass. You gave me a clean start of 2022.
Here: New Year, New Me!
Thank you Mr. Ku.

I hired Kevin when I was unexpectedly served to appear in court. He not only put in the effort to make sure that I won my case but that I, who had no previous experience, understood what everything meant. He worked hard to make sure that I wasn’t only successful in my defense but that I was as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. I would use him again and I would highly recommend him to a friend.

Made sure I felt as comfortable as possible

I contacted Lyons and Associates when I was unexpectedly served to appear in court. My Attorney, Kevin Ku, helped me to feel very confident throughout the entire process. He not only made sure we were prepared for my case but also that I, who had no experience dealing with the court previously, understood everything he was doing. Additionally each time I called Lyons and Associates the receptions were always very friendly. Lyons not only did their best to ensure I won my case but they also made sure I felt as comfortable as possible. I would use them again in the future as well as highly recommend them to others.

Lyons went above and beyond.

I was fortunate enough to have found such an outstanding attorney in Terry. When I first met her, I will never forget the sign that hung in her office. It read, “Faith makes things possible…. not easy.” For whatever reason that simple message had an impact on me and I knew in my gut she was the attorney for me. Terry, was up front and straightforward with me from the very beginning and has never waivered in her commitment. She is compassionate, understanding, extremely knowledgeable (she can quote and reference a law, statute, or rule down to the exact number), and has the wisdom of an old soul when it comes to human behavior. She possesses all of those wonderful characteristics with humor, lightheartedness, and just an all around good nature about herself. She took on my case with a confidence, determination, and tenacity that was contagious even for me and I had very little confidence in the beginning. I had a very emotionally driven case where the facts of the case were irrelevant to my opponent. Yet, Terry stayed focused and did not allow tactics or technicalities to knock her off course. She went above and beyond in her capacity to ensure that I was represented with not just herself but with an amazing support staff she has in her office. I call the people in her office ” the family” because they all look out for each other and their clients. Also, Terry is brilliant in the courtroom. I’ve watched a ton of Law and Order and Terry just commands a courtroom. The mastery and delivery she displays when litigating is astonishing. She is must see TV in the courtroom! Terry, I will be eternally grateful to you for what you have done for me and my son. You gave me the gift of legal parenthood. You are truly a blessing and a gift to the legal profession

One of the Preeminent Matrimonial Lawyers in New Jersey

I have referred several people to Lyons & Associates and they all come away feeling better about their situation after speaking with Terry Lyons or one of her associates. As you know, divorce is one of life’s most difficult circumstances and Lyons & Co. not only know how to deal with the legal aspects but the emotional ones as well. If any of my clients, friends or colleagues are even contemplating divorce I would recommend this firm to anyone of them. There is a reason why Lyons & Associates are one of the preeminent matrimonial lawyers in NJ….they care!

Source:

I Definitely would recommend Marissa

Marissa and her legal assistant Sandy were great! After seeking a divorce from a different attorney, which ultimately gave up on me after realizing the amount of work that would be needed, they got the job done! They found my now ex-wife after not knowing her whereabouts for the past 15 or so years. I definitely would recommend Marissa and her office to represent anyone seeking legal assistance in family law!

Extremely responsive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with

We recently worked with Joanna to update all of legal documents. Joanna was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Joanna and her colleagues.

Theresa fought hard for my case

I can’t say enough about Ms. Lyons. But, first, allow me to let you know a little bit of who I am and the battles I had been going through. I earned MBA and MS degree from the reputable school. I filed a divorce complaint more than 10 years ago (represented by a self-claiming best attorney in NJ with celebrities banging the door begging to hire him). It turned out to be the worst experience I had. I then retained other matrimonial attorneys before Ms. Lyons. Ms. Lyons was highly recommended by my Attorney friend. I was skeptical, so I interviewed more than 5 attorneys before I met with Ms. Lyon (I was about to retain one of the 5). My friend told me to hold until I met with Ms. Lyon (I actually pull out each attorney’s records from Lexis and studies the cases they had done before). I signed the retainer right after I met with Ms. Lyons. She fought hard for my case. She is not only brilliant, fast, clear but persuasive (consider this from a client who had been represented by top attorneys representing celebrities). Ms. Lyons fought with heart and truly have your best interest in mind (to obtain the best result possible and to put the nightmare to an end). Before seeing Ms. Lyons at Court, I truly don’t believe there will be a matrimonial attorney with your best interest in heart. After all, divorce couples are just cases for matrimonial attorneys. Though you and your children will need to live with the results of Court proceeding, you are just a case to matrimonial attorneys. The longer you fight, the more they can be paid (speaking conflict of interests). I have been dealing with divorce court for more than 10 years with dozens of motions and threatening from my ex to put me in jail. It’s Ms. Lyons she let me see the end of it and is truly capable and willing to put this to an end. If you are struggling with divorce matters, you will be doing yourself/children a huge favor by seeing Ms. Lyons.

Excellent Mentor and Educator

I have been interning at Lyons and Associates, PC for the past few months. Theresa Lyons, the managing partner, has been a wonderful mentor and educator. That being said, the entire team at Lyons and Associates have been a pleasure to work with. Each and every individual makes a conscious effort to deliver personal attention for personal matters on a daily basis. I have seen the impact they have had on the lives of our clients. Family law is not an easy feat but the Lyons team handles every case with professionalism.

They Honestly Cared about Me

I had a very complicated custody situation that was messy and ongoing for years. In a 10yr period I had cycled through 3 very reputable firms and attorneys and no one could accomplish my goal – change in residence for my children (who lived in Florida). Lyons & Associates was referred to me by a family friend and I couldn’t be more grateful! From the first meeting with Terry Lyons I knew that she honestly cared, understood and would help in any way that she could. Once we had a plan in place I worked closely with Sara Kucson who is a gem! I never felt rushed or unheard. Every step of the way was laid out and explained with realistic expectations set, not oversold. I knew it was not going to be easy, but it was my last attempt. I am happy to say that Terry and Sara were able to create and execute a plan that was a winner! I have dealt with many attorneys and I would return to Lyons and Associates again and again! My family and I can’t thank them enough!

Lyons conducted themselves with the highest ethical standard

Terry Lyons was recommended to me by a friend – an example of Divine Intervention. Time spent in Family Court is not pleasant. You can hope for respect, truth and ethical behavior somewhere in the process but do not expect it. The notable exception was Lyons and Associates. Without exception, they conducted themselves and my business with the highest ethical standard. Terry Lyons, the managing partner, represented me in court. She was amazing! I had spectators in the courtroom ask me for her contact information.

Lyons and Associates understand the law, and gave me good directional advice. I personally felt that somewhere, somehow, I had been granted a wish I didn’t know I had made – and that was to have the best attorneys possible. I highly recommend them.

She Was Professional and Kept Me Informed

My divorce attorney was Marissa A. Del Mauro. She was professional and kept me informed of the process which lasted about 10 months. I kept my house and alimony to my ex is manageable. Her assistant was skilled and prompt. I really felt that the Lyons & Associates team protected my interests, for example, my ex wanted 8 years of alimony on a 11 year marriage. This was reduced to 5 years. After my divorce was finalized, Lyons also reduced by outstanding legal bill by 30%. Would not hesitate to recommend Lyons to anyone.

She is trustworthy, compassionate, and an expert at what she does.

Lyons and Associates exceeded my expectations.

I’ve used plenty of attorneys in my business and several in my personal life.

It turned out to be the worst experience I had. I then retained other matrimonial attorneys before Ms. Lyons. Ms. Lyons was highly recommended by my Attorney friend. I was skeptical, so I interviewed more than 5 attorneys before I met with Ms. Lyon (I was about to retain one of the 5). My friend told me to hold until I met with Ms. Lyon (I actually pull out each attorney’s records from Lexis and studies the cases they had done before). I signed the retainer right after I met with Ms. Lyons. She fought hard for my case. She is not only brilliant, fast, clear but persuasive (consider this from a client who had been represented by top attorneys representing celebrities). Ms. Lyons fought with heart and truly have your best interest in mind (to obtain the best result possible and to put the nightmare to an end). Before seeing Ms. Lyons at Court, I truly don’t believe there will be a matrimonial attorney with your best interest in heart. After all, divorce couples are just cases for matrimonial attorneys. Though you and your children will need to live with the results of Court proceeding, you are just a case to matrimonial attorneys. The longer you fight, the more they can be paid (speaking conflict of interests). I have been dealing with divorce court for more than 10 years with dozens of motions and threatening from my ex to put me in jail. It’s Ms. Lyons she let me see the end of it and is truly capable and willing to put this to an end. If you are struggling with divorce matters, you will be doing yourself/children a huge favor by seeing Ms. Lyons.

Excellent Mentor and Educator

I have been interning at Lyons and Associates, PC for the past few months. Theresa Lyons, the managing partner, has been a wonderful mentor and educator. That being said, the entire team at Lyons and Associates have been a pleasure to work with. Each and every individual makes a conscious effort to deliver personal attention for personal matters on a daily basis. I have seen the impact they have had on the lives of our clients. Family law is not an easy feat but the Lyons team handles every case with professionalism.

They Honestly Cared about Me

I had a very complicated custody situation that was messy and ongoing for years. In a 10yr period I had cycled through 3 very reputable firms and attorneys and no one could accomplish my goal – change in residence for my children (who lived in Florida). Lyons & Associates was referred to me by a family friend and I couldn’t be more grateful! From the first meeting with Terry Lyons I knew that she honestly cared, understood and would help in any way that she could. Once we had a plan in place I worked closely with Sara Kucson who is a gem! I never felt rushed or unheard. Every step of the way was laid out and explained with realistic expectations set, not oversold. I knew it was not going to be easy, but it was my last attempt. I am happy to say that Terry and Sara were able to create and execute a plan that was a winner! I have dealt with many attorneys and I would return to Lyons and Associates again and again! My family and I can’t thank them enough!

Lyons conducted themselves with the highest ethical standard

Terry Lyons was recommended to me by a friend – an example of Divine Intervention. Time spent in Family Court is not pleasant. You can hope for respect, truth and ethical behavior somewhere in the process but do not expect it. The notable exception was Lyons and Associates. Without exception, they conducted themselves and my business with the highest ethical standard. Terry Lyons, the managing partner, represented me in court. She was amazing! I had spectators in the courtroom ask me for her contact information.

Lyons and Associates understand the law, and gave me good directional advice. I personally felt that somewhere, somehow, I had been granted a wish I didn’t know I had made – and that was to have the best attorneys possible. I highly recommend them.

Professional and Personal Attorney

I was introduced to this firm by a dear friend and personally introduced to Terry Lyons who represented me.
Terry is very professional and “personal”at the same time. She is always available and responsive. Divorce is a very emotional situation and Terry helped me keep my emotions in check. She is a caring and loving person…so concerned about impact on the children as well…she is a genuine caring individual.
I highly recommend her firm to anyone…top notch…first class!!

 William P. Lemega:

Highly Recommended

The purpose of this letter is to thank Mr. William Lemega and staff for their sensitivity and kindness (not to mention patience) in their assistance with my personal matter.

We had difficulty contacting the New Jersey Courts from our home in Thailand to obtain a copy of a divorce decree.  The decree is needed to support the immigration application for my wife – a very important matter for our family.  Perhaps due to COVID or security precautions since we were contacting them from overseas (I support security precautions) we could never get a response. 

Therefore I contacted Lyons and Associates for assistance.  They referred me to the capable hands of Mr. Lemega. William’s kind and understanding attitude immediately gave me confidence that he would take care of our matter.  

I thought this was a quick and easy issue – a trip to City Hall to request the divorce decree then mail it to me.  However Mr. Lemega was thrown a few curves in the process:  First my Thailand Debit card payment was not processed, and he and staff spent time trying to figure it out for me. He waited patiently for payment.  Then I realized his office was not in Atlantic City but was in North Jersey – that took him some extra time and effort to request the document.  Finally the Atlantic City Court no longer had the document and referred him to contact the Trenton Court. More work and a longer way around for my request. 

Mr. Lemega probably spent 3 – 4 times the amount of time and effort he usually spends for an issue such as ours, but was always courteous and helpful, and achieved results for us. We appreciate his persistence and are very grateful for all of his work.  I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring assistance with matters such as ours.

Now one last thing … since my wife will soon be off to the USA for her immigration process, can William offer assistance with my farm and housework and care for my children while she is gone?

Thanks again for all of your work and assistance.  We feel we have friends now at Lyons

Professionalism At Its Best!

Dear Ms. Lyons,

I sincerely appreciate you sharing this good news with me. It is such an honor to be selected by your peers and I will say Marissa is truly deserving of this honor. Congratulations to my former attorney Marissa A. DelMauro, Esq.

Marissa, Thank you for all you have done for me. The personal and professional attention I received, as if I was the only client, was superb and unmatched.

Congratulations to you, Theresa, and the other Lyons lawyers being honored on their achievements as well.

At this time, I would also like to acknowledge the work also done by Yvonne Severini, Legal Assistant to Marissa A. DelMauro.

Without the help and guidance of Marissa and Yvonne I don’t think my case would have gone as smoothly as it did. Professionalism at its best!

I wish Lyons & Associates all the best for a prosperous 2023. Keep up the good work.

Thank you again

I Definitely would recommend Marissa

Marissa and her legal assistant Sandy were great! After seeking a divorce from a different attorney, which ultimately gave up on me after realizing the amount of work that would be needed, they got the job done! They found my now ex-wife after not knowing her whereabouts for the past 15 or so years. I definitely would recommend Marissa and her office to represent anyone seeking legal assistance in family law!

She Was Professional and Kept Me Informed

My divorce attorney was Marissa A. Del Mauro. She was professional and kept me informed of the process which lasted about 10 months. I kept my house and alimony to my ex is manageable. Her assistant was skilled and prompt. I really felt that the Lyons & Associates team protected my interests, for example, my ex wanted 8 years of alimony on a 11 year marriage. This was reduced to 5 years. After my divorce was finalized, Lyons also reduced by outstanding legal bill by 30%. Would not hesitate to recommend Lyons to anyone.

Extremely Helpful

Lyons and Associates were extremely helpful to me in my legal matter. They were prompt, thorough, and I felt as though they really cared about my needs. Their rates were fair and comparable to others I had researched. I would highly recommend this firm.

Extremely Knowledgeable

Marissa A. Del Mauro at Lyons and Associates was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring throughout my entire divorce. Marissa helped me through the divorce process which was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. Lyons and associates was the second law firm that I used because I had a terrible experience with the first firm. I was apprehensive to go to another, but so glad that I did. Divorce is difficult, and when you are going through it, you need people you can count on and trust. I would highly recommend Lyons and Associates, especially Marissa A. Del Mauro. She is trustworthy, compassionate, and an expert at what she does.

Kevin Ku:

Your professionalism was greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for representing me. I’m relieved it’s all over. I have copies of all correspondence and documents saved. I also received the final judgment with the seal in the mail. I don’t think I’ll be needing anything else. Thank you all. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated.

Professional, efficient and focused on resolution rather than billable hours

I hired Kevin to pursue an alimony reduction. An emotional time for all, Kevin was able to keep emotions in check amongst all partiers while swiftly resolving the case without extensive court proceedings and filings. His spot-on advice led to a mutually agreed upon resolution. Kevin returned calls within 24 hours (most times much sooner), always was “in-touch” with my case and most of all, communicated in a clear and straightforward manner. He earned my trust and highest recommendation.

Custodial issues

Kevin is my lawyer for many year as I deal with my child’s custodial issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. He has always responded my legal issues with patience and understanding. Therefore, he is quite personable as well as professional. I highly recommend him because he has helped me solved some of the most difficult situations that a father has to go through as well as a child.

Divorce/Custody

Kevin handled my alimony reduction process with expertise, while keeping me well informed and including me in the decision making. In the end, he achieved the financial goal I wanted without causing further damage to relationships. And through it all Kevin always responded promptly to my emails or phone calls — which is not always the case with many lawyer/client interactions. I highly recommend Kevin for Family Law issues.

Helpful & responsive

Kevin was very helpful, and provided good counsel in a complicated case. He responded quickly to many different requests, and was thorough in his review of the details in this case.

Diligent and Kind person

I cannot thank Mr Ku, Kevin W. enough for his great due diligence on my case. He resolve my case within 2-months, an unbelievable time, base on many lawyers I talked before him. Best thing is that he did not promise me any time, he just delivered it. After realizing that a con law firm was ripping me off for last 7 months with not clue of ending the case. Unable to see any light at end of the tunnel, I was heartbroken and clueless. With my faith on second chance, I started to look for a lawyer for second opinion. I virtually talked to 5 lawyers in the area, all of them offered 15 to 30 mins free consultation time, but none give me time to speak. It was time the layers used to collect my information and advertising their firm. Some of them even asked me to signup for follow up session or retain their office while on the phone!My search for a layer stopped after talking to Mr. Ku. The only questions he asked me was “Tell me what happened?” I was given a time to explain my issue without interruption. My questions were answered with reasonable follow up questions. He listened and he heart me! I first asked him to review my case for a second opinion, but I changed my mind an hour later. I called him back to ask if can take over my case. As soon as Mr. Ku agreed to take my case, I fired my sloppy lawyer! That was my best decision of year 2021.
Summary:
– he listens and understands you.
– he presents your case with supporting data/numbers/clear rationale
– he is keep your case transparent to you like a glass. You gave me a clean start of 2022.
Here: New Year, New Me!
Thank you Mr. Ku.

I hired Kevin when I was unexpectedly served to appear in court. He not only put in the effort to make sure that I won my case but that I, who had no previous experience, understood what everything meant. He worked hard to make sure that I wasn’t only successful in my defense but that I was as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. I would use him again and I would highly recommend him to a friend.

I have worked as a financial professional on several divorce cases with David. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. He genuinely cares for his clients, and gets superior results in all of the cases that I have particpated in. I would highly recommend him.

Rock Solid Attorney who does right!

As always, your attorney is only as good as you let him be. Being truthful and honest and having full disclosure with your attorney is the key to any successful result. David is a straight shooter. He never mislead me and on many occasions took the time to explain the ins and outs of child custody and what to expect. As I read the Morris County Bar Association’s Code of Professionalism, I can without a doubt state that Mr. Salvaggio exemplifies the very core at the heart of this code. He is a trusted professional who truly cares about his clients and not just the bottom line. As a client who has needed Mr. Salvaggio’s assistance over the last 3 years, it has been a long journey, but not one without great rewards. My 3 year old son’s future success in life will ultimately be the end result of Mr. Salvaggio’s hard work and dedication to excellence.Less

Exceptional, Empathic Representation


The Salvaggio Law Group provided me with excellent advice and representation when my former wife initiated an inappropriate process in the Morris County Court. The research conducted by the firm and the level of preparation that went into my defense in this complex situation, involving three different jurisdictions, was outstanding. The case was dismissed. Throughout the very stressful process, I found David and the members of the firm to be very empathic and reassuring.

Choosing the right attorney is vital to the outcome of your case and your personal well-being.

After a great deal of research to find the best New Jersey divorce lawyer for my situation, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. David Salvaggio would be the right choice for my complex divorce case, and I was right. I received the best legal advice and representation I could ever have wished for. The divorce proceeded without incident, and I received everything I wanted in the settlement including the custody arrangement, which I was not willing to budge on.
I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Salvaggio. I told him during our first conversation that I wanted an attorney that would care as much about my case as if he were my father in that courtroom. I know it sounds funny, but I got that. I cannot thank him and his law group enough for working so hard for me and my child. We can now start over with peace of mind.

Responsive-Professional-Truly Concerned

Mr. Salvaggio spoke to me in such a way that I felt a real concern for my situation.

David genuinely cares about his clients and it shows in his business work ethic. I’m truly grateful to have had David represent me and would recommend him hands down!

Thank you

I absolutely would recommend David and the collaborative process to anyone I knew whose goal it was to put their family and children first in the divorce process. From our first phone call David’s concern for the well being of my daughter and for the changing concept of family during this process reassured me that I had made the right decision to engage him and his team. His assistance with navigating this challenging time in my life is irreplaceable and I can’t thank him enough for that.
