"Competence, patience, diligence…the foundation of a successful family law practice."

Family law can be a complicated and emotional process. When faced with difficult legal decisions, you want someone with the knowledge and competence necessary to render you the best outcome possible. Deciding whether you are ready for divorce or addressing such issues as child custody, child support, alimony and division of property can be a confusing maze of legal proceedings. At Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks, we understand that it is not just a legal proceeding; this is our client’s life and the lives of his or her loved ones. When faced with such an emotional strain, the client needs an attorney they can trust to handle the pragmatic procedures. I walk my clients through the proceedings so they have a clear understanding of the facts and help them to make sound decisions. Patience, competence and diligence are the foundation of a successful family law practice. Each case is as unique as each individual that walks through our doors and I tailor my service to suit their individual needs. Defining the client’s objective, preparing a winning strategy and realizing the best interest of the client, establishes the groundwork for a successful family law case.

Choosing the right family law attorney can make a difference in the outcome of your case. I will guide you through each step of the process ensuring that your short and long term interests are protected. I will work with you and for you, with professionalism and the utmost competence.

As a native of Toms River, I am pleased to be practicing law in my own community. My years of experience with family law, both working for the court and in private practice, have provided me with a familiarity of the legal system and how best to meet my clients' needs. As part of the Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks firm, I am given the rare opportunity to work with a highly successful and well-known group of attorneys whose outstanding reputation precedes their collective efforts. By utilizing this broad scope of experience with a team approach, Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks is ideally equipped to respond to our client’s every legal problem regardless of its complexity. Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks as a firm is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
