Accepts Morristown Partnership Gift Certificates: No
Mini Description: Divorce and family law matters don’t have to involve fighting – and shouldn’t.
With over 25 years of legal experience, and as a negotiator, advocate, and go-to problem solver, I help clients reach divorce and family agreements more quickly at less cost.
I value and honor the trust that my clients place with me personally and give each and every client 100%.
We persistently think “outside the box” to come up with creative and effective solutions that meet each client’s needs and goals. Clients will then begin to think differently and discover new opportunities that will pave a future never before thought possible.
When I was a teenager, life as I knew it suddenly changed forever. One day, my father sat me down and told me he and my mother were getting a divorce. I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. But from that point on, I knew the kind of lawyer I wanted to be. For the first time in my life, and for many years after, I experienced the true terror of feeling lost and out of control. I knew nothing about how divorce was supposed to work and struggled to try and make sense of it all. I felt scared and vulnerable.
My experience made me think of all the people traumatized by divorce when they didn’t have the right help for themselves and their children. They feel alone and vulnerable, just like I felt when my parents divorced.
No one should have to feel like that. So, I became dedicated to empowering people with the knowledge and solutions to move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
I opened my family law practice in 1999 so I could develop closer personal connections with each client and make a meaningful impact on their lives. As my practice grew, I began to see more and more that when the court imposes legal obligations in divorce, families are unable to make their own choices and create results. I saw how the unpredictability of a court’s decision compounded the fear and hurt that clients already felt by ending their marriage. That’s when I became dedicated to helping clients reach divorce and post-divorce agreements more quickly at less cost.
My vision now is to change the way we communicate to transform conflict into connection and help people strengthen their relationships. Please feel free to email me at mhart@michelehartlaw.com or call me directly at 973-292-9090.
