Leonard A. Weitzman, Esq. is the principal of the Firm. Mr. Weitzman has been representing individuals in family law cases for more than 24 years, regularly appearing in courts throughout New Jersey in Morris, Somerset, Hunterdon, Essex, Union and Middlesex counties. He has experience in virtually all aspects of family law, including divorce, parental rights, child custody and support, alimony, property distribution, business valuations, pre-nuptial agreements, separation agreements, and domestic violence.

Mr. Weitzman offers a unique approach to all of his family law clients. He takes the time to personally get to know each of his clients, and to listen to their specific needs, concerns, fears, and desires. He demonstrates sensitivity to every client, as he realizes that the client is usually going through a very stressful and upsetting time in his or her life. He is communicative, approachable, and responsive. He establishes a specific, realistic plan with each of his clients, and keeps them well informed as to the progress of their case.

Mr. Weitzman is competent and confident whenever he is in a courtroom. He is one of a small percentage of practicing lawyers who have been recognized as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. To achieve such recognition, Mr. Weitzman had to document numerous trials and courtroom experiences, obtain recommendations from judges and other lawyers, and then successfully pass extensive testing administered by the Supreme Court.
