For ten years, Robert Siegel has devoted his practice to the mediation and litigation of all aspects of family law in New Jersey. After clerking in the Family Division of the New Jersey Superior Court for the Hon. Ann R. Bartlett in Hunterdon County, Rob gained tremendous experience working in both large and small firm environments, including at Riker Danzig in Morristown. As a Law Clerk, Rob also mediated special civil and small claims matters, and earned the highest settlement percentage in the Hunterdon/Somerset/Warren County vicinage. Not all lawyers have had the distinct honor of clerking for a judge. This highly coveted level of experience gives Rob a clear advantage in helping his clients achieve successful outcomes.
Rob’s practice has been strengthened by his publishing of numerous articles on complex issues of family law, including interstate child support and custody laws, as well as his recent article on the consequences of the 2014 amendments to New Jersey’s alimony statute as it relates to termination based on retirement. Rob is one of the few family lawyers in New Jersey to not only write about these complicated legal issues, but also litigate them, including at the Appellate Division.
Rob has taken various custody cases to trial, including grandparent custody matters, school enrollment cases, and contested relocation matters.
From 2019 – 2022, Rob was selected for inclusion on the list of New Jersey Rising Stars in the Super Lawyers Family Law section.
Rob is both a court-appointed mediator in divorce matters and has been appointed as a Guardian Ad Litem in Monmouth County to oversee contested custody matters. He is an active volunteer for the Rachel Coalition, which assists victims of domestic violence who cannot afford to retain a private attorney to help with their cases. He firmly believes in ensuring that these victims get justice in spite of their financial situations.
“Our clients view us as results-oriented, but not at the expense of adding unnecessary drama to an already challenging and fragile situation. Our strategic perspective is to achieve mutually beneficial agreements and cooperation. We will fight for you if necessary, but always with a clear goal-oriented philosophy.”
