Wernik & Salvatore

Outstanding Attorney for a Difficult Divorce I went through a highly contentious four-year divorce and custody battle, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney than Robin and Dave. Their expertise, strategic approach, and relentless advocacy were invaluable in securing the best possible outcome for me and my children. Wernik and Salvatore handled every challenge with professionalism and never backed down, even when the other side was unreasonable. They kept me informed, answered all my questions, and provided unwavering support throughout the process. If you need a strong, knowledgeable, and dedicated attorney to guide you through a tough divorce, I highly recommend Dave and Robin. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment.

David Salvatore is rude and unprofessional in a court room. I was his opponent so naturally he was going to fight for and side with my ex spouse which is to be expected. However, during the hearing whenever my ex or I and sometimes even the judge were trying to speak he would interrupt all of us in the middle of our sentences, even the judge had to tell him to be quiet to let my ex and we finish our sentences. He practically talked to himself for more than 80% of the time. He wouldn’t even let my ex speak his own words and would give him looks to stop talking and then proceed to speak on my ex’s behalf. Even though I have my own reserved feelings towards my ex I thought that was disrespectful to do, let the man speak is on words instead of you trying to coach him or speak words for him. He also lied saying that I qualified for some kind of benefits and when I contacted the Social Security administration they told me that whoever said that provided false information. Either David Salvatore doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he claims certain information or he will purposely try to provide false information to his opponents to essentially waste their time. Prior to the hearing being in contact with him and also Robin wasn’t pleasant. Like I said I understand that lawyers that are hired to represent people with their cases are naturally going to side and fight for them, but they definitely overdo it and are unnecessarily aggressive, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s to try to intimidate their opponents. Naturally, they would also want their opponent to get what’s favorable to them, but they wanted to leave me with nothing while my side was trying to reasonably and civilly negotiate terms that were as even as possible with some being more favorable to me, which like I’ve mentioned before naturally would be the case. There was another comment that was typed in a different review saying that they suspect that these people are in bed with courts which I think is inappropriate and out of line, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use potential connections to try to win/have their cases favored.

Robin Wernik was great to work with. Explained everything thoroughly. Will definitely use her again if I should be in need of a lawyer in the future.

I'm going to bore you with some details so you can truly understand why I am writing this review. My Divorce was back in 2010 and was very contentious.At that time I spent $500,000 on attorneys and to be completely open I fired what was known as the best attorney's in the county. Reason being was that my case dragged on(the oldest case in Monmouth County) for over 2.5 years.I felt that the attorneys at that time were doing what is know as Milking the file. Eventually we settled. Roll the clock forward to 2019 and my EX was looking for more yet again with all types of false allegations.I guess my being remarried and living a great life since 2018 has her twisted. At that time I heard about Robin and David through a friend. Based on my past experience I decided to interview them rather than just hire them. I was immediately impressed with their down to earth( not full of themselves like to big firms) style. They were hired! David made the issue go away immediately when he came back at my Exs attorney like a Tiger. Roll the clock forward to this past September and I get hit with a big fat Motion filled with all demands for high six figure back payments, it was a twisted version of the final judgement from 2010.As you can image I was a nervous wreck. I immediately called David,At that time he put me at ease and shot holes in the entire motion. What I really like is David was very direct and explains everything in detail.He gave me the confidence going into the Motion Hearing. When we had the hearing ,David's reply to the motion blew the other attorney away and all I kept hearing from the judge was-MOTION DENIED,MOTION DENIED. I actually leaned over and kissed him. In addition to stomping them out he did it at a very affordable fee. Robin and Dave don't run the bill up at all. Dave was very forthright with his fees and came in much less than I thought. I Strongly Recommend Robin and David! PS The staff is very nice also.

Robin is absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgable and does her research on specific issues. She is honest and has helped my family and me understand our options clearly. I highly recommend her.
