Aggravated Assault
Alimony
Alimony, or spousal support, is applicable in some, but not all, divorce cases. The purpose of alimony is to provide both spouses with a standard of living similar to that which they enjoyed together during the marriage. The applicability and amount of alimony in a given case is contingent upon a wide variety of factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s responsibilities with regard to child rearing, contributions that one spouse may have made to the other’s career or educational advancement, and the earning potential of each spouse. In New Jersey, there is no concrete formula for determining alimony, which means that these outcomes are subject to the discretion of the court unless the parties can reach an agreement through negotiation. Whether you are the spouse seeking alimony, or the spouse who may be required to make these payments, alimony determinations have long-term financial implications.

Child Support
Under New Jersey law, both parents are required to share in the financial responsibilities associated with raising their child. Regardless of the parents’ relationship status, they are both responsible for the expenses necessary to feed, house, and provide for the other needs of the child that they share. In order to ensure that every child receives the financial support they deserve from both parents, New Jersey provides Child Support Guidelines, a set of complex formulas used to determine the appropriate amount of child support in each case. Although the Child Support Guidelines are relatively concrete, parents often disagree significantly about how much they should pay or receive every month. Additionally, these guidelines must be applied appropriately, with consideration given to all relevant factors, in order to arrive at an accurate child support determination.

Child custody
Child custody and parenting time, or visitation, can represent some of the most difficult and emotionally-charged issues to be resolved during a divorce. New Jersey law acknowledges that in most cases, it is in the best interests of the child to maintain frequent and continuing contact with both parents, while both parents share the rights and responsibilities of child rearing. Although both parents likely want to develop an arrangement that is in the child’s best interests, they often differ drastically about what this actually means. Coming to an agreement with regard to child custody can be taxing emotionally for you and your children, while the outcome will spell long-term implications for their future. Understanding your parental rights and responsibilities and developing a child custody configuration that best serves the needs of you and your family can be challenging; however, a knowledgeable divorce attorney can serve as your greatest asset during this trying time.

DWI
Although a DWI is technically a motor vehicle violation, it is among the most aggressively prosecuted crimes in the state of New Jersey. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is considered such a serious crime because of the tragic, and sometimes fatal consequences of drunk driving accidents. New Jersey lawmakers see DWI as a crime in which the offender places their own life, and the lives of others, at risk. As such, these offenses are subject to strict sentencing guidelines that limit judicial and prosecutorial discretion. Essentially, this means that the penalties to which you are exposed upon conviction cannot be lessened through negotiation or by demonstrating that you are otherwise a law-abiding citizen who made one mistake. When charged with a DWI, you have one chance to make a case before a single municipal court judge; you are not entitled to a trial by jury, as you would be with other criminal offenses.
Diversionary programs
Diversionary programs in New Jersey are intended to give first time offenders a reprieve and also keep the courts free form the log jam of petty offenders and non-violent criminals. Diversionary programs including the Pre-Trial Intervention Program (PTI), the Conditional Discharge Program, and the Veterans Diversion Program are all great options for those who qualify.If you or a loved one has been charged with a felony or a disorderly persons crime stemming from a drug crime, sex crime, juvenile offense, theft or fraud crime, or any other charges, you may be eligible for a diversionary program with the help of an experienced criminal law firm.
Divorce
Divorce is a life-altering decision, a single moment in time in which the trajectory of your life changes forever. The prospect can seem intimidating and overwhelming, requiring you to wade through the life you shared with your spouse and to address a myriad of significant issues with long-term implications. From alimony, to division of assets, child custody to child support, these questions must be answered and at times, there simply isn’t a simple one. The financial and emotional toll of divorce looms large and you may feel alone and unsure as to how best to move forward. Your best decision at this moment is to enlist a knowledgeable and experienced divorce attorney, one who can serve as your guide and your champion, helping you to navigate through the complex legal process of divorce and aggressively advocating for your interests at every turn.

Domestic Violence
New Jersey’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act protects married couples, domestic partners, individuals in dating relationships, and those in parent and child relationships against a variety of criminal offenses subsumed within the classification of “domestic violence.” When a domestic violence incident occurs and law enforcement is called to the scene, two distinct legal actions may commence. First, the individual accused of an act of domestic violence may be charged criminally with an offense such as assault, harassment, or terroristic threats. Second, the victim may elect to file a restraining order against the alleged abuser, which will result in a separate legal proceeding in New Jersey Family Court. Often, domestic violence arises in the context of divorce, as tensions run high between former married couples.

Drug Charges
The war on drugs is alive and well in New Jersey. Whether you are charged with a relatively minor offense such as possession of marijuana under 50 grams, or a more serious crime such as distribution of heroin, New Jersey dedicates enormous resources to the prosecution of drug crimes. From first-time drug offenders to those with multiple felony convictions, prosecutors and law enforcement officials aggressively pursue those accused of drug offenses. At Del Sardo & Montanari, we know all too well the consequences of a conviction, for high school and college students who end up with criminal records, to adults who end up in prison. That is why we aggressively represent our clients, employing every strategy at our disposal to have your charges reduced or dismissed entirely.

Employment Law
When you are facing an employer who has treated you unfairly, it can feel as though you are powerless, with no one on your side. With human resources departments and extensive funding, employers have the leverage to intimidate their employees into remaining silent. However, you are not alone and you are not without recourse. Both state and federal laws have been enacted to protect you as an employee from unjust employment practices, including harassment, discrimination, hostile work environments, and undue retaliation. If you find yourself in a situation of this kind, an experienced New Jersey employment lawyer can ensure that you are aware of all of your legal options and aggressively advocate for your rights.

Sex crime
One of the hardest things about being charged with a sex crime is that the police, prosecutors and general public want to believe you are guilty, even though you are innocent of the charges.At Del Sardo & Montanari, LLC, we fight aggressively on your behalf because we know that police and prosecutors frequently make snap judgments and mistakes when it comes to sex offense charges. It is not uncommon for innocent people to get caught in illegal police sting operations or victimized by illegal search and seizure of personal computers, legal photos and other “evidence” they want to use against you. We challenge everything about the prosecutor’s case to prove your innocence and help you get the best possible outcome for your charges.

A single traffic ticket may not seem like much, until you consider the consequences. A single violation for speeding or reckless driving can result in a heavy fine, increased insurance rates and even driver’s license suspension, depending upon your previous driving record and the circumstances of your ticket. Even if you have a clean driving record previous to your traffic ticket, changing auto insurance companies may be more difficult and certainly more expensive. We will help you keep your record clear.

Workers’ compensation
Workers’ compensation is a complex and often highly contested area of the law. When you have served your employers’ interests dutifully and loyally for years, you may expect them to provide the support you deserve if you suffer an injury or disease on the job. Unfortunately, the majority of cases don’t proceed that way. The saddest reality of workers’ compensation is that too many injured workers wait too long to retain their own independent legal counselor. This concedes too many significant tactical advantages to their employers and, more importantly, to their employer’s insurance companies. Perhaps you do not expect your employer and its insurance company to seek legal advantages against your claim. We don’t blame you, but we ask that you take nothing you deserve for granted. Take nothing you need to know for granted, especially from your employer’s insurance company.

I am so pleased to write a raving review about the Montanari Law Group. We worked with Rosemary and she was so professional and a life saver! We had a very complicated closing and she held our hand through the entire process and never hesitated to even provide us with other resources and external assistance to make sure we were taken care of. If you are able to work with them please know that you will be in good hands. Rosemary always had our best interest in mind even when we didn’t know what that was (since everything was in complicated legal terminology) but she made sure we knew in laymen terms what it all meant. If I could give them more stars I would . We are extremely grateful to Rosemary and her team.

One of the best law firms I have ever worked with. I have been a client for the past 5 years, with Jayna being my attorney, for past due child support. Not once was I disappointed with the outcomes. Jayna has done a wonderful job by gaining first and foremost my trust in her and has treated me in the best manner possible by keeping me up to date on all matters and choosing the best decision to move forward with. I was rewarded with all past due payments along with the attorney fees. Thank You Jayna for all your hard work and effort. It’s truly appreciated.
