James M. Jim Andrews

A Decisive and Compassionate Guide Through a Difficult Divorce

After 22 years of marriage, navigating the dissolution of my partnership was one of the most daunting challenges I've ever faced. I needed an attorney who was not only a formidable legal mind but also a steady, empathetic presence. Jim Andrews was exactly that. His 46 years of experience, particularly in family law, were immediately apparent. He didn't just see my case as a legal transaction; he understood the profound personal and financial complexities involved. Jim, from Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla in Red Bank, expertly guided me through mediation, a process he is clearly recognized for, as his Best Lawyers accolade suggests. His deep knowledge of New Jersey family law, honed since his graduation from Seton Hall in 1979, allowed him to anticipate every potential issue, from asset division to future parenting plans. He was always prepared, his advice was crystal clear, and his professionalism never wavered, even during tense negotiations. Most importantly, he helped me achieve a settlement that was fair and sustainable, allowing me to move forward with dignity and security. I cannot recommend James M. Andrews highly enough for anyone in need of a truly exceptional family law attorney.
