Skoloff & Wolfe, P.C.

Can't help you if your property taxes aren't above 30k. At least they were honest.

Richard Iglar (partner at Skoloff & Wolfe) recently represented me in a 12-month divorce case in north central New Jersey that centered on the equitable distribution of a substantial marital estate. Rick's performance was superlative and I strongly endorse him.

Rick topped my initial shortlist of highly qualified candidates. The preparation of the shortlist considered depth divorce experience, quality of professional training, and relevant credentials including certifications. Since my case had the potential to be financially complicated, selecting an attorney with the financial acumen to advocate my position was of paramount importance. An interview solidified my decision to hire Rick as my attorney.

Rick explained the divorce process and realistically set my expectations. He and his support staff readily absorbed the substantial financial details of the case and together we agreed on a scenario that would represent a fair and practical distribution of assets. Despite a potential straightforward path to resolution of the case, the adverse party pressed for unreasonable demands and pursued a range of malicious acts intended to punish me. To my benefit, Rick artfully countered the other side's absurd positions, nefarious acts, and delay tactics. With this effort the case was fairly settled without a costly and lengthy trial.

Throughout the process I felt that Rick was a powerful advocate for my interests. He was excellent at understanding my concerns and staying focused on the most important financial considerations. I was always consulted on key decisions and he was careful to make me aware of alternatives and potential risks. Rick's deep experience and familiarity with the court was an asset. He was truly outstanding in the negotiation of the settlement, which exactly matched the ideal outcome that Rick and I had crafted at the beginning of the case.

Obviously divorce related cases are emotionally charged. Rick is a consummate professional. He is a seasoned attorney with 30-year experience. He somehow managed to keep my emotions in check in his own uncanny way and helped settle the case quickly without going through costly full-blown plenary hearings.

I had interviewed more than a dozen top attorneys before picking Rick. I heard and saw that Rick cares about his clients deeply and is as knowledgeable about divorce laws as it gets. I was in good hands. It carries a lot of weight when your attorney is respected by the court as well as the attorneys on the other side and that was my experience with him.

He has earned his reputation. Being a highly sought-after attorney and a father himself, he worked tirelessly and replied to my emails at all times. His reasoning and logic are nothing short of amazing (I think I am qualified to make such comments given my rigorous engineering and quantitative trading background). Even the Judge recognized that and thanked him for organizing things so well that he can see the issues easily and clearly. Simply put, he has a burning desire to win for his clients within reason. He will give his fair outsider views so as to set expectations right instead of saying things to reinforce your own wishful thinking.
