The Legal Services We Provide

Family Law and Divorce

Our compassionate New Jersey family law team fully understands how sensitive all family law issues can be. Whether your case involves your and your spouse, your children, your home, your money or even your pets, we know how to help you protect your legal rights and financial interests.

Of course, our team also knows one of the most important aspects of family law service: Helping our clients preserve their incredibly valuable familial relationships. That is why, whenever possible, our attorneys look to find family law solutions that emphasize working through collaborative legal methods. We want to help you find a comprehensive solution that is best for both you and your family.

Still, we will never let your family law interests take a back seat. You have no obligation to simply make concessions, getting little to nothing in return. Even with sensitive family law matters, there are times when our lawyers will need to act aggressively to protect your rights. We are committed to fighting on your behalf, for as long as it takes to resolve your case in a favorable manner. Our firm offers a full array of family law services to individuals and families in northern New Jersey, including:

Workers’ Compensation

Sustaining a serious work injury can be devastating to you and your family. Not only can a work injury result in you getting stuck with substantial medical bills, but it could lead to you missing a lot of time on the job. Of course, this means that you would be unable to earn a paycheck to support your family.

Fortunately, in New Jersey, workers have critically important legal protection under the state’s mandatory workers’ compensation insurance system. Indeed, depending on the specific facts of your case, you may be entitled to recover full medical benefits, along with income replacement benefits. Yet, sadly, many injured workers have tremendous difficulties actually getting the full benefits that they rightfully deserve. This is where our law firm can help.

Our Newton workers’ compensation attorneys have extensive experience handling New Jersey workers’ compensation claims. If any part of your workers’ compensation claim was denied, for any reason, you need to reach out to our team today. The big insurance company does not get the last word on your case. The big insurers are simply not looking out for your best interests; these companies deny many valid work injury claims. We can help you build your case, compiling strong supporting evidence, so that you can navigate the complex New Jersey workers’ compensation appeals process.

Bankruptcy Law

Are you getting never-ending, harassing calls from debt collectors? Do you feel that your financial situation has become unsustainable? If so, it may be time to explore filing for bankruptcy protection. While this step is certainly not right for every person or every business, there are many situations in which it is truly the best path towards renewed financial stability.

However, sadly, northern New Jersey is littered with ‘bankruptcy mills’. This term refers to the unscrupulous firms that will make lofty, unrealistic promises, and will then push your claim quickly through the bankruptcy filing process, failing to give you the personalized attention that you deserve. Not only will these firms fail to deliver on their promises, but they may even make your financial situation worse.

If you are considering bankruptcy, you need to work with a trusted bankruptcy firm, like Hollander, Strelzik, Pasculli, Hinkes, Vandenberg & Hontz, LLC. We will give your claim the full attention that it requires. Further, we will not simply push you through the bankruptcy filing process. We handle all of our clients’ issues with care. Our experienced New Jersey bankruptcy lawyers will review your case, in detail, to make sure that bankruptcy is truly the best option available. We always help our clients explore all available non-bankruptcy options before moving them forward in the process. Whether you are considering filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, please give our team a call today.

Criminal Defense

If you have been arrested in northern New Jersey, you are likely left feeling intimidated, confused and stressed out. Further, you may have many unanswered questions. Sadly, our legal system does not always provide helpful guidance to defendants. Fortunately, our Sussex County criminal defense lawyers are standing by, ready to help. If you were charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime in New Jersey, you need to take action today. Please get your case into the hands of a qualified lawyer who can help to protect your legal rights.

Our attorneys have extensive experience handling DUI cases in counties across northern New Jersey. All drunk driving charges must be taken extremely seriously; a conviction could have ramifications that follow around for the rest of your life. If you have been arrested and are now facing intoxicated driving charges, please contact the experienced New Jersey DUI defense lawyers at Hollander, Strelzik, Pasculli, Hinkes, Vandenberg & Hontz, L.L.C. today.
