Divorce creates an extremely difficult and stressful period in life. Peter Van Aulen's expertise, knowledge and compassion certainly minimized the trauma of divorce for me. Thank you, Peter!

I would like to thank the Law offices of Peter Van Aulen for giving me the legal help and advice. Peter has great personality, very professional and ultimately accomplished exactly what I hoped. I would recommend him to anyone.

Peter & Debbie were fantastic! They helped me so much walking me thru everything step by step! I highly recommend Peter!

Peter in my opinion is an excellent attorney. Not only is he knowledgeable in the law, he really cares! Because of Peter my daughter and I are in a better place in our life. We will always be grateful for all he did for us!

Called to see about free consultation just looking for advice being that I live in NJ and an Immediate No was given to any help in regards to just asking simple questions. Looking for simple answers. DId not like the response was given even if looking for simple basic help it's not a fair business offer I couldnt even speak to the lawyer receptionist said No with out asking anything in regard to my situation. Just was taking the fact that I said New York is where my situation is.
THREE NO's and a hang up.

Very helpful and understanding.

Peter is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable and caring Family Law Attorneys. Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people which are sometimes out of anyone’s control. He knows a lot about whats right and wrong for raising children to become strong adults to make it on their own. Its sad when one person will do everything for their child to see that even though two people aren’t together you can still show how a healthy relationship should be. It’s unfortunate that some men will never grow up and realize that knocking the child’s mother is the worst thing to do to an innocent child. When you have children you have to put behind any hatred and grow up to show your child a healthy
Life, especially in his or hers most vulnerable years.

Peter provided legal advice and guidance through a difficult situation. He is knowledgeable, experienced, responsive and understanding. Through my situation I felt I was in trustworthy hands which was a huge relief for me. Thank you Peter for helping me through such a trying time for me. I greatly appreciate it.

Peter is an awesome attorney. First of all, before taking action, Peter would always explain to me the next step of action he was going to take & why he was doing it. He took the time to explain to me very well each & every step of the way so I understood what the ongoing process was & what to expect.
There was some tough decisions to make, & very fortunately for me, he was correct every time. He is very confident & knows what he is doing.
I am extremely satisfied with his work & will continue to use his services & recommend him to others.

5+ Stars Excellent Service. After 7 years of efforts with other divorce lawyers, Peter Van Aulen accomplished what they could not. Extremely Professional and skilled Attorney. An Excellent Attorney and I Highly recommend him to all and anyone who seeks this line of legal representation.

Excellent, caring, and very knowledgeable! Loved having Mr. Van Aulen there for me through my divorce. Thank you!

Top of the line service. Peter and his team are the most professional, supportive, and all around amazing practice. I cannot speak enough about how great Peter and his team are. What a blessing. Thanks for all you do.

Called for a consult. Don't bother to call if you are from Morris County, NJ. Even though his website gives the impression he attends cases in all of NJ..."He doesn't go that far" as the secretary told me. And I am only 30 minutes away!!! LOL

Knowledgeable, thorough, fights for you, nice guy. The epitome of what you would expect from your lawyer.

Very helpful, and honest law firm.

“Dear Mr. Aulen, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you have done on my LONG case. As you know, a divorce was something that was never going to happen in my life, and a very scary scenario for me. Even beginning the process was very frightening after so many years of marriage! But you took me by the hand and led me through it all. I am so grateful to you and look where I am now – I’m on the other side! I feel like I have gotten to know you fairly well. It has been emotionally stressful for me and my girls. I want to says I appreciate you and your assistant for being so incredibly supportive. I want to say to all who maybe going through a divorce that this is a trying time for anyone, but if you want Lawyer who truly has your best interest in mind it's Peter Van Aulen. He will go to work and he stops at nothing until the job is done! I honestly can say that he's not an excellent Lawyer but a friend. Thank you again! Sincerely, 110% satisfied client.

Peter Van Aulen and his staff are extremely professional and thorough. They made the rough experience of going through a divorce as easy as possible. Mr. Van Aulen's expertise made me very comfortable and confident that I was being counseled in my best interest. Hopefully, I will never need his office for these purposes again, but I highly recommend them for anyone who might.

Peter Van Aulen helped me through my divorce a few months ago, a very difficult time in my life. Every step of the way, Peter being fair-minded, was an absolute professional in my unique situation with the adversary & put my mind at ease. Because of Peter's experience & knowledge, he anticipated everything in our case & left nothing to chance. And now because of my unique & successful divorce, I have Peter working on bring my motions to court.

Peter was very knowledgeable and helpful to me during my divorce. He gave me advice that I will always remember and still use to this day.
He fought for what was fair in my unique circumstances and I am happy with the outcome. Although I don't recommend divorce, I would recommend Peter who is very straight forward and helpful to your needs.

At first, when I found myself facing the divorce situation, I had no idea who to turn to. Furtunately, I found Peter Van Aulen on the Internet and after meeting with him, I felt more comfortable. As he explained my legal options and obligations I felt more reassured, as he is very knowledgeable! His fees are reasonable. At the end of the legal process, I'm glad I hired!

Peter Van Aulen represented me in two different matters, and in both he was extremely competent. He was compassionate and knowledgeable, responsive to questions, and provided excellent advice. He demonstrated that he truly cares about the well-being of his client. I highly recommend him.

I got divorced a couple of weeks ago with the help of my counsel, Peter Van Aulen. Right from the start he helped me to get a good idea about what it takes to get divorced in terms of time, money, and result. Signed agreement provided even more clarity on financial obligations. His estimates of time spent on my case were accurate and fair. My situation involved appeal and some other complications. Even though Peter Van Aulen was not my retained counsel in all cases surrounding my divorce (he was my counsel in divorce case only), he clearly defined area of his expertise, which helped me to navigate through other cases, find experts in those other areas and win. He steered through all stages of litigation with confidence, and the final result well exceeded my expectations. I can recommend Mr. Van Aulen to anyone as the divorce attorney who knows this business very well and can make the divorce process manageable and easy.

Peter's sincere arguments in court convinced the Judge to give us the results we were looking for. He made the entire custody/family court process so much easier to deal with!

Peter is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate family attorney. He has been a great guidance and support in the entire process of divorce. Very clear in communication, fast in response, excellent in suggestions and advice.
I highly recommend Peter as a divorce attorney. He will get the job done- no matter how complex the case might be.

Peter handled my case in a very courteous, professional and efficient manner. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone.

Peter Van Aulen helped me through a divorce earlier this year. He was willing to provide me with a free consultation, listening to the details of my case and offering advice for free before ever taking me on as a client. After meeting with Peter i decided i felt comfortable with him as my legal representative and did not ever regret the decision. Peter was very thorough and knowledgeable and provided me with excellent service.

He keeps harassing my husband via FedEx and usps even after quitting the case, doing work that we never asked for just to make more money. He is a gangster who uses the law to extort more money from his clients. He is also is allegedly being investigated along with with other law quacks for the "Cash For Kids" scheme. We laugh every time he attempts to intimidate us because he is clearly desperate to keep things going.

Peter is an exceptionally great attorney. He handled my child custody case and was able to ease any of my concerns with honest answers. He always took the time to explain the pros/cons and was always available to answer any questions that I had. Peter has great focus, drive and a realistic point of view based on case law and his 20 plus years experience in the field. Peter is able to give you many different scenarios and the likelihood of the outcomes.

Such a high level of integrity, professionalism and down to earth nature made all of my interactions with him, quite pleasant. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone who is looking for one.

Peter Van Aulen is a very compassionate, honest and straightforward person. He was there for me at my lowest point with a genuine concern not only for my situation, but for me and my child's well being above all. I was not just another case number. He is genuine with his concern. Peter's extensive knowledge of Family Law and the court system and how it applied to my particular case was spot on. The balance of of his compassion of a situation coupled with his intensity of fighting for his client is the reason I chose Peter. He is fair and he is strong and when push comes to shove he is there for you.

Peter is passionate about doing what is right. He embodies a challenge to the stereotype -- he is truly an ethical lawyer! It would seem that practicing law is more of a calling for him than a job and he is generous with his time and expertise. He enjoys solving problems and integrating the intricacies of legal details into real-life issues. Peter not only cares about people, he cares about animals, too and takes seriously the task of providing for/protecting beloved family pets. If you are a prospective client who is at all nervous about speaking with an attorney I have no doubt that Peter would put you at ease.

Peter Van Aulen was extremely helpful, responsive, attentive and caring while helping me through a very difficult divorce.
His knowledge of the law and his willingness to commit to his cases is what sets him above the rest and he is not intimidated by the opposing counsel’s firm size or experience. I never once felt like a “number” in a sea of clients and was always treated with respect and sensitivity.
I recently used his services for a separate issue and his ability to represent remains exceptional. His character and integrity are a true display of an extremely ethical individual and he has established a trust and confidence with me as a client. Thank you Peter for always being there!

Peter VanAulen is a man of integrity as well as a talented lawyer.
He was always up to date on the facts of my case. Tough in the face of adversity, Peter is also a great sounding board. He really cares about his clients and goes above and beyond.
Peter is not afraid to do a cost/ benefit analysis for clients, even if it means a smaller fee.
If you are considering a matrimonial attorney, meet with Peter and see for yourself.

12 years ago I went through a very difficult divorce. Over the years I struggled to meet the demands of my original divorce decree. Several attorneys I consulted with just took my money and did nothing to help me. I think they barely read any of my documents. Then I found Peter Van Aulen. All I can say is WOW!!! On the day of my first visit with Peter I knew I had my guy. He carefully read through all my documents and found things that at least three other attorneys overlooked. I felt very comfortable sitting down with Peter and discussing my case. He did not judge me in any way. He was compassionate and sympathetic to my situation. He didn't shoot from the hip or sell me a dream. Peter set realistic, achievable goals. Also there was no sense of being rushed out of his office. Doing business with Peter feels like dealing with a friend, not just an attorney. From start to finish Peter and his staff provided me with the best legal advice and top shelf support throughout the process. He always kept me in the loop and up to date on all the proceedings.The good news is, with his guidance, I did get the outcome I was looking for and MORE!!
I highly recommend the Law Offices of Peter Van Aulen to anyone in need of a matrimonial attorney. Integrity with top rate service! If there were more than 5 stars, I would give them!

Peter Van Aulen is a very knowledgeable family law attorney. He advocates for his client in a respectful and diligent manner.

In one of the most difficult times of my life it was a Gods send to have a man of such integrity, experience and fight in my corner.Peter is a sage and powerful beacon when you are in your hour of darkness and calms the roiling waters as he helps you navigate the rocky shoals of the Divorce process.
He is boyscout level loyal and prepared. He treats you like a person and not a number. I value the relationship we developed and value Peter's friendship into the future.

Peter Van Aulen was our daughter’s lawyer before she was murdered. We worked with him for custody of our grandchild for almost 18 months and we can honestly say he is an all-in lawyer who truly cares about his client and their story. He asks probing questions and intently listens to the answers. Peter is an experienced knowledgeable lawyer. One of the many things that I respect him for is his honesty, his professionalism and that he sets clear expectations. His priority is getting the client the best deal, which he did. He was a tremendous help to our family and we are grateful. We highly recommend Peter Van Aulen to be your personal lawyer in matters dealing with the family court system.

very good lawyer

Peter has integrity, and values his relationships with his clients beyond his financial relationship with them. For me to say this about any lawyer is really saying something. He is compassionate, straightforward and knowledgeable. I would easily recommend him to anybody.

Peter Van Aulen handled my case with great diligence and integrity. He is also a compassionate individual who realizes what a difficult time divorce can be emotionally. Peter works hard and doesn't take any shortcuts in preparing for a case. I think an added bonus is that he is highly respected by the judges who hear his arguments. My only regret is that I did not retain Peter from the beginning of my divorce. When I retained him; he came in and made sense out of what was made a mess by my previous attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Van Aulen and his staff.

Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and patient, while at the same time protecting of my interests. Never once was I uncomfortable in discussing my situation and always knew Peter was fighting for my rights.
He had to right mixture of sympathy, experience and toughness to handle any situation that arose with the other lawyers and the court. I would recommend him, and have done so to friends in need of a family lawyer.

Choosing Peter to represent me in my divorce proved to be a very wise decision. What became a highly complicated case of parental child abduction involving courts in two countries, The Hague Convention and a small army of lawyers hired by my ex-wife; my divorce was far from routine. Through it all, Peter maintained sound judgment, came to court prepared and provided highly detailed legal advice. With every filing and every court appearance, I was confident I had the right attorney to guide me through some of the most challenging days of my life.

Peter is an honest and competent divorce attorney with integrity. I was a client of Peters for about four years and during that time learned he was willing to go the extra mile to do what it took to service me as a client and provide sound advice - whether it was through meeting at his office or off site, during business hours or in the evening or on weekends, in person or by phone, text or email.
I would recommend him highly.

Peter Van Aulen and his staff are not only on top of their game, but very compassionate as well. When I called and needed assistance within 3 days to answer a motion, his staff listened and he accommodated me the next day. His knowledge is invaluable. If it wasn't for him, my daughter who was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness would not be getting the medical coverage, assistance and support she needs in the future. Thank you Mr. Van Aulen for your attention to detail and helping my family.

Peter and his staff are OUTSTANDING! Starting with his legal staff ,the entire office was behind me and my case 100%. I never had a doubt that this was the right firm for me.

Peter listened intently to the proof that brought to the table about my wife’s inaccuracies in her financial statements, affidavits and deposition. We were able to dissect her web of false statements through careful preparation, attention to detail and Peter's skill of managing the entire process. Peter is also very adept at handling opposing attorneys with ease, no matter how brash the opposition.

Peter , thank you for your compassion, attention to detail and taking the time to address all of my concerns through this harrowing time in my life. You and your staff are a credit to the legal industry!

I would highly recommend Peter to any one facing a soon to ex-spouse with a sense of entitlement.
