Dan is a consummate professional lawyer. I came to him with a certain case of fraud committed by a car dealership, and Dan immediately understood the situation and with professional promptness, he acted on my case that greatly allayed my anxiety about the matter. He would always correspond with me via mail or call and patiently explain anything. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan to anybody needing quality, professional and excellent legal assistance. I wish Dan more power and success in his practice.

I recently closed on a house. The whole process made me nervous. Large investment, a lot of moving parts. I reviewed the attorneys available through my work benefits. Barli & Associates had good reviews, so I reached out.I'm sorry I can't turn the dial up to 11 stars!Dan responded to every question the same day. At most I had to wait 2 hours. (I wasn't his only client!) Most importantly to me he answered each question with patience. I can imagine handling real estate cases I a lot like the movie, Ground Hog's Day - the same question over and over and over. We were in and out of attorney review in one day!Everyone I've spoken to about my experience has said the same thing, I had it easy. Dan laid the foundation for a quick, hassle-free home closing experience.Dan is now my go to lawyer. I look forward to our future engagements.

He explained every part of each deal to us and answered any phone call or email that came his way. His network of employees, from Luna to Francis are unmatched. Thank you again for everything! We would highly recommend Dan to any family member or friend in need.

I can't begin to share how incredibly impressed I am with Dan and team. He was super thorough in everything he did when buying my home. Making sure everything was exactly as it should be prior to closing, even having the seller pay for shrub replacement at the closing table. Now, almost 7 years later he is my go to as a seller.A home is probably the single largest investment you will make in your life! Knowing you have the best of the best looking over your legal rights is invaluable! Dan and his team are worth every cent!

Dan handled the purchase of our home several years ago and since then I have looked to him to either help us directly or refer us to an attorney in the necessary area of law I needed on a couple of occasions and he has not let us down. Most recently my husband was involved in an accident where a woman walked directly in front of his car as he started to enter a roadway. He had already passed over any implied crosswalk at the stop sign but had to stop again where he could actually see oncoming traffic before entering the road. He had just started to move and there she was. She was not hurt and my husband stayed at the scene and did all he was supposed to do but he was issued three tickets, none of which seemed to fit what actually happened or the actual conditions at the intersection. I've read how localities will throw everything at you and if you don't contest, they make a lot of money. I don't know that this was true in this situation but we felt that only one of the tickets came close to what actually happened, but, ya know? not really. Within one day we were inundated by letters from a dozen lawyers wanting to handle his case and assuring us he could face enormous fines and possibly jail time. We realized this wasn't just a traffic ticket and we needed someone to handle it for us. We wanted someone we've done business with before so we called Dan once again to ask if he could handle it or could refer us to someone who could. He handled everything and my husband ended up with one far lesser infraction that fit the unintentional accident it was. My husband hasn't had a moving violation in years and he felt totally unqualified to deal with contesting the charges. Dan handled everything for us and got the best possible outcome. We are very happy with the outcome.

Adoption Frequently Asked Questions

The adoption timeline in New Jersey varies depending on the type of adoption. Private and agency adoptions typically take several months to a year, while foster care adoptions may take longer due to state requirements. Stepparent and relative adoptions can be completed in a few months if all parties are in agreement. Our firm works diligently to streamline the process and avoid unnecessary delays.

Finalizing an adoption in New Jersey involves several key steps, including home studies, court petitions, background checks, termination of parental rights (if applicable), and a final adoption hearing. Our attorneys guide families through every stage, ensuring all legal requirements are met to complete the adoption smoothly.

Yes, in certain cases, a biological parent can contest an adoption if their parental rights have not been legally terminated. However, if the court has already determined that termination of parental rights is in the best interest of the child, the contesting parent must provide strong legal grounds to challenge the adoption. Our attorneys handle contested adoption cases, ensuring that our clients’ rights are fully protected.
