Hackensack Full Service Attorneys

Business and Personal, Transactions and Litigation

At Kates Nussman Rapone Ellis & Farhi, LLP, our team of accomplished Hackensack New Jersey lawyers has extensive experience helping our clients, whether businesses or individuals, with advice to make strong decisions. Whether your legal issue involves business planning, the need to resolve or litigate a dispute, a job-related problem, a real estate or development issue, a divorce or an estate planning question or tax appeal, we have a history and a reputation for getting results. We address each case individually.  The result has been success in fostering long-term relationships through prompt and effective responses to our business and individual clients' needs, both in New Jersey and New York.  An important part of our client-focused representation is offering honest advice and reasonable costs, because every matter is in reality a "business decision."

The success of our law firm is not dependent on the number of cases we handle — but the way in which we handle each case.

Whether you require strategic business negotiation, aggressive litigation, or advice about your family's financial future, our New Jersey law firm, which also has offices in New York City,  has the resources to help. We understand that every problem or situation has its own set of challenges and we combine knowledge, experience and flexibility to meet your needs. Although many people believe that they cannot afford a lawyer's services, there are alternative dispute resolution options and flexible fee arrangements that are often more cost-effective, so that your personal or business budget won't be "broken" by legal fees.  Need advice for a New Jersey or New York problem?  Call or email today.  If you'd like, first take a look at our attorney profiles or our blog.
