About Me

Located in Hackensack, my law firm offers comprehensive, thorough and in-depth family law services for those throughout northern New Jersey. I am Melinda L. Singer, Esquire, and I have represented a range of clients, from high-profile individuals with complex divorces to more straightforward divorces. Along with my talented paralegal team, I have successfully negotiated hundreds of family law agreements and settlements, with a variety of components, including alimony, child support, parenting time, complex asset division, business ownership rights and domestic violence charges. My clients appreciate my attention to detail, my straightforward advice and ability to be assertive on their behalf.

As a Board-Certified matrimonial law attorney, I dedicate myself to continuing education and training in family law. Only approximately 2 percent of New Jersey lawyers can claim to be Board-Certified, as it requires rigorous testing and meeting exceptionally high standards. In addition to being a Board-Certified attorney, I have also shared my insight on family law on television networks such as truTV, MSNBC and Fox affiliates. I have been selected among the top lawyers in Bergen County by (201) Magazine in 2013, 2017 and 2018. I have also been selected to the Super Lawyers list in New Jersey in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Representing Bergen County For Over Four Decades

After being admitted to practice law in New Jersey in 1985, I established my practice in 1986 and have represented countless clients in Bergen, Passaic and other Northern New Jersey counties ever since. As a dedicated family lawyer in the local community, I actively participate with numerous organizations, with roles including:

  • Member, Supreme Court of New Jersey Family Law Practice Committee
  • Member, New Jersey State Bar Association, Family Practice Section
  • Member, New Jersey Association for Justice, Family Law Section & Matrimonial Trial Lawyers Section
  • Panel member with Alternatives to Domestic Violence

As a Trier of Fact or Judge on complex ethics cases brought about by the Office of Attorney Ethics, I have a unique perspective in the law that can be valuable to your case. As a trier of fact for these cases, I have experienced how to view a trial and its nuances.
