Welcome to My Website

If you've come to this website, it's because you're facing an upheaval in your personal life, and you are looking for help. My name is Karen Meislik, and my practice is family law. But before I tell you about me, let's start by finding out if I have a good idea of some of the questions you may have. Experience tells me you have quite a few, but perhaps the one that keeps coming up most often is this: whom can I trust to help me with the issues I already know about-and maybe some I haven't even thought of?

Other questions follow naturally, don't they?

• How do I know the lawyer I find will understand that I never expected to be in this situation?
• Will she know that all this feels awfully complicated to me?
• I know I have to keep a clear head, but does she know that I'm also hurting?
• Doesn't that mean I need a lawyer who's compassionate as well as smart?
• Can I find someone who will devote her legal expertise to getting me through the process as efficiently as possible–and herself to getting me through it as painlessly as can be?
• Will the attorney I find know how to cooperate–not only with me, but with everyone who will need to be involved?
• I'm sure I want someone who is both knowledgeable and kind, how can I be confident that the lawyer I choose will know the court system–not only its ins and outs, but be respected within it?

Have I come close? If those are some of your main questions, you've come to the right web site. And the right lawyer.

 

I'm Karen Meislik, a Certified Matrimonial Attorney

Out of more than 70,000 active lawyers in New Jersey, the Supreme Court has designated fewer than 140 as Certified Matrimonial Law Attorneys. I am one of them. This Certification is bestowed upon attorneys who have been members of the New Jersey Bar for at least 5 years, who fulfill the requirements of continuing legal education, have demonstrated a substantial level of matrimonial law experience, have been favorably evaluated by their peers and judges, and have passed a written examination in their specialty. Why should this be important to you? If you retain me, you will be represented by someone who has excellent and current knowledge of every aspect of matrimonial law, and who has earned the respect of the court system.

I help clients throughout Northern New Jersey including, but not limited to, the cities of Montclair, Clifton, East Orange, Cedar Grove, Little Falls, Hackensack, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, West Orange, Verona, Parsippany, Paramus, West Caldwell, Caldwell, Fairfield, Orange, and Wayne.
