Meet Robert H. Siegel

Choosing a family law attorney is about more than selecting someone with legal knowledge. It is about finding an advocate you can trust during one of the most significant and personal transitions of your life.

For more than two decades, Robert H. Siegel has dedicated his legal career exclusively to family law. Throughout that time, he has represented individuals and families across New Jersey in matters involving divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, domestic violence, post-judgment litigation, appeals, and other complex family law issues.

His approach combines thorough legal analysis with practical problem-solving, helping clients make informed decisions while protecting their long-term interests.

A Career Focused on Family Law

Unlike attorneys who divide their practice among multiple legal disciplines, Robert H. Siegel has concentrated his practice on family law. This focused experience allows him to stay current with evolving statutes, court decisions, and procedural developments affecting New Jersey families.

Throughout his career, he has represented clients in matters ranging from amicable negotiated settlements to highly contested litigation involving complex financial issues and sensitive parenting disputes. Every case receives the same careful attention, regardless of its size or complexity.

Early in his legal career, Robert H. Siegel served as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Family Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey. Working closely with the court provided valuable insight into how family law cases are evaluated, how judges analyze legal issues, and how effective preparation influences the outcome of litigation.

That experience continues to inform his approach today, helping clients understand both the legal process and the practical considerations that often influence family court proceedings.

Not every family law matter requires litigation. Robert H. Siegel has also served as a Court-Appointed Divorce Mediator, helping couples resolve disputes through constructive discussion and negotiated agreements.

His mediation experience allows him to identify opportunities for resolution while helping clients avoid unnecessary conflict whenever appropriate. Even when litigation becomes necessary, this background often helps streamline the path toward a fair outcome.

Attorney Siegel has also served as a Guardian Ad Litem in contested custody matters. In that role, he evaluated family circumstances, investigated issues affecting children, and provided independent recommendations to assist the court.

This experience offers additional perspective regarding custody disputes and reinforces his commitment to protecting children’s best interests while helping parents develop practical parenting solutions.

Although many family law matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation, some disputes require courtroom advocacy. Robert H. Siegel has represented clients throughout all stages of litigation, including:

  • Divorce trials
  • Child custody hearings
  • Parenting disputes
  • Child support litigation
  • Alimony matters
  • Property division
  • Domestic violence proceedings
  • Post-judgment applications
  • Family law appeals

Every case is prepared carefully with the understanding that thorough preparation strengthens both settlement negotiations and courtroom advocacy.

Our Approach to Family Law

A Practical, Client-Focused Philosophy

Family law cases involve much more than legal issues alone. Clients are often making decisions that affect:

  • Their children
  • Their homes
  • Their financial future
  • Their careers
  • Their retirement
  • Their relationships with extended family


Recognizing this, Robert H. Siegel approaches every matter with a focus on practical solutions rather than unnecessary conflict. Clients receive clear explanations, honest assessments, and individualized legal strategies designed to address both immediate concerns and long-term objectives.

Understanding Every Family's Unique Needs

No two families are alike. Every client brings unique concerns, priorities, and goals. Some individuals seek an amicable divorce that minimizes conflict. Others require immediate court intervention to protect children or financial assets. Some need assistance modifying an existing order after significant life changes.

Rather than applying a standard formula, we take the time to understand each client’s situation before developing an appropriate legal strategy. Clients work directly with Attorney Robert H. Siegel throughout the legal process and receive responsive communication, individualized guidance, and experienced representation from beginning to end.

Practical Solutions, Thoughtful Advocacy

Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative discussions. Whenever appropriate, we encourage constructive resolution that allows clients to maintain greater control over important decisions while reducing the emotional and financial costs often associated with litigation.

However, not every dispute can be resolved through agreement. When court intervention becomes necessary, our office is fully prepared to advocate vigorously on behalf of our clients. Thorough preparation, detailed legal analysis, and strategic litigation remain central to our approach.

Whether negotiating across a conference table or presenting a case in court, our objective remains the same: protecting our clients’ interests while pursuing practical, lasting outcomes.

Responsive Communication

One of the most common concerns clients express when hiring an attorney is communication. Our office is committed to keeping clients informed throughout the legal process by:

  • Explaining legal procedures in understandable terms
  • Responding promptly to questions
  • Discussing available options before important decisions
  • Providing realistic expectations
  • Maintaining open communication throughout representation


Legal matters can be stressful. Clear communication helps reduce uncertainty while allowing clients to make informed decisions with confidence.

Professional Integrity

Family law requires more than legal skill—it requires professionalism, discretion, and respect for every client who seeks assistance. Robert H. Siegel is committed to:

  • Careful preparation
  • Honest legal advice
  • Professional advocacy
  • Respectful client relationships
  • Ethical representation
  • Thoughtful problem-solving


These principles guide every matter handled by the firm.
