A Highly Respected, Certified Matrimonial Attorney In New Jersey

As of 2022, fewer than 2% of the more than 41,000 attorneys in New Jersey were certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. As a certified matrimonial law attorney, I continue to dedicate myself to education and rigorous training in family law.

To earn this certification, I had to demonstrate sufficient levels of experience, education, knowledge and skill in my matrimonial law practice. In addition to specializing in matrimonial law, as a certified attorney, I have fulfilled ongoing continuing legal education requirements, demonstrated a substantial level of expertise and passed a written examination.

To gain this status, I also had to receive favorable evaluations from other lawyers and judges familiar with my work. When you choose my practice, you can rest assured that you are consulting with a knowledgeable attorney who’s at the forefront of family law.

One Of Bergen County’s
Top Lawyers

In 2013, 2017 and 2018, (201) Magazine selected me for its Bergen’s Top Lawyers* honor. The list was compiled from a peer-review survey by Professional Research Services (PRS) in Royal Oak, Michigan. (201) Magazine’s website states that PRS contacted thousands of attorneys throughout Bergen County and asked them who they would recommend within the county in given areas of law.

*You can learn more about the criteria for being selected as a Bergen County top lawyer. No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Inclusion in the (201) Magazine list is based on peer nominations and does not suggest that the lawyer has that attribute.

A Trusted Legal Authority: My Media Appearances And Legal Expertise

As an attorney consistently selected for inclusion in New Jersey Super Lawyers and recognized on (201) Magazine’s Bergen’s Top Lawyers list, I remain committed to protecting my clients and staying abreast of the constantly changing family law cases and statutes that impact the practice daily.

Known for my insight into family law, I have appeared on dozens of television programs, such as those on truTV, MSNBC and Fox News, to discuss relevant topics. On these programs, I have provided insightful commentary to help viewers understand the legal impact of news stories.

I have also been a guest speaker for continuing legal education classes, teaching the latest legal updates in various areas of family law, including child support, alimony, child emancipation, college and child support, and support in high-income cases.

High-profile clients trust my staff and me with their complicated family law needs, including high-asset divorce, property division, business ownership matters and domestic violence cases. With a wealth of resources in the local community, I work with respected parent coordinators, psychiatrists, psychologists, mediators, accountants, valuators, forensic experts and detectives to try to achieve success in every case.

Testimonials

Melinda Singer represented me during my divorce case. She was diligent and extremely helpful in this matter. In a difficult time, she was able to maintain composure and conclude the case in a timely matter. Without her help and expertise, I would not be where I am today. Overall, I would highly recommend Melinda Singer as a professional and respectable lawyer. -Debbie C.
Melinda Singer literally taught the class on family law/divorce law. Not only was she professional, experienced and knowledgeable, but she is a compassionate, understanding attorney also there to help her client navigate the waters during a difficult time. Assertive without being too aggressive. Conciliatory without being too passive. Ambitious without being too unrealistic. If you want an attorney who looks at it like people’s lives and not just case files, then choose Melinda Singer as your lawyer. -Eric F.
Melinda Singer is not just a top notch attorney (the best of the best) but a highly ethical person completely devoted to her profession. My family came to know her at an extremely difficult time, having gone through two previous attorneys on behalf of my son’s brutal divorce. Needless to say I was amazed at her experience, straightforwardness, her knowledge of the court workings, and most of all how quickly she was able to bring a dire situation to a favorable close. One could find no better lawyer in New Jersey than Melinda Singer. -Robert L.
I would not hesitate to refer Melinda; she is caring, passionate, supportive and most of all she listens and has a full understanding of the law. Her advice is sound and truthful. There was never any doubt that she always had my best interests at heart. Melinda is a brilliant and skillful attorney who cares about each and every client on an individual basis. Simply put, she’s the best! — Paula R.
