What makes Kearns Rotolo Law distinctive and the only Firm to hire: Responsive, respectful, compassionate, caring, patient, understanding, focused, kind, authentic, hard working, impactful, unwavering, professional, impeccably dressed, available 24/7 (including weekends), calm demeanor, composed, work ethic second to none, unflappable, strong networks within the community, years of experience, high standards, best in class, and excellent representation.

From the very first call I made to Victor, to meeting the impressive defense team, to the numerous texts I sent to Victor, Tony, and Chris (all who ALWAYS replied in a timely manner), to the professionalism of the entire staff, my many phone calls looking for updates as I was frantic, sobbing, and looking for answers, to … everything in between. Kearns Rotolo Law came together seamlessly from that very first call to the end result of attaining an (initial) unattainable goal in our case. Kearns Rotolo Law do not raise the bar, they are the bar!! Exceptional on every level.

I want to underscore the fact that Victor taking my call on a Sunday, listening to me as calmly as he did, and immediately setting things in motion that very same day speaks volumes. I would not hire ANY other Firm. Undeniably, the BEST there is.

Tony was excellent! He was knowledgeable, responsive and on-time. His experience as a County Prosecutor definitely helped our case as he knows how the legal system works and how to navigate. I highly recommend Tony and his office.

When I met Tony, what I noticed first and what continued until the close of my file was that he was confident, but approachable. Finding yourself in a situation where you need an attorney can be full of stress and anxiety. Tony listened carefully to details, spoke honestly and gently about options and educated me at times with compassion when my understanding or expectations needed to be tempered. He did an outstanding job on my behalf, because of years of experience and (I assume) his vast professional network. Every person at Kearns Rotolo Law, including and especially his assistant Lisa Nowell, were clear, helpful, efficient and exceptionally detail-oriented. They kept pace with the needs of my case and ensured I had everything I needed to be prepared at every turn. I was very proud to be represented by Tony and felt secure at a time I needed a compass to head out of a difficult bind. Confidence in your counsel and a sense of security in understanding how best to proceed are important reasons to consider Anthony Kearns and his team of outstanding lawyers.

A wonderful practice that has always had my best interests in mind. Previous to them I had a horrible experience with a well known big name practice that ate my retainer for a minimal amount of services. Thankfully I found Kearns Rotolo Law and I had a wonderful experience working with Charles Rifici on a difficult divorce/child custody issue. I am so grateful for all the work and guidance he provided. He always took his time and diligently went through all my options with me so I could make the decisions that benefitted my family and I. I will be forever thankful for the top notch services he provided.

Had to do a quick search for DUI lawyers when the bf got busted in NJ. Gave him 3 choices I thought would do the job This office offered a free consult.

When he called to explain his unfortunate situation, he was scene at the office in less than 24 hrs. By the time my bf left, he was so calmed down. They talked about so many hobbies they had in common. I could see they gave him back his confidence and will to move forward to the trial.  They without a doubt grounded him for the road he was about to travel!

Thanks for adding that personal touch when he needed it the most!

I hired Vic for my divorce and for a personal injury lawsuit. He always treated me like family and everyone at the firm was great to work with. They are the best at what they do and I'm very pleased with both outcomes! I'd use this firm again and definitely recommend Vic and his team to anyone in need of an awesome lawyer! 10 stars to Vic!

The absolute BEST!!! I have a family of attorneys but needed someone local. Victor was recommended to me and words cannot describe how pleased I was with his firm. The outstanding service and attention each member of his staff gave to me surpassed any and all expectations. Victor surrounds himself with a hardworking team that he leads. I felt it was money spent wisely. I will continue to recommend Victor and his associates.

Victor's expertise, due diligence, and empathy for his client made my first experience with the law (and last) a non-stressful one. Before the case, I did my research and looked over about 20 lawyers before choosing Victor. All my sources pointed to him as the best and they weren't off even a bit. Victor treated my case like it was his own and kept me up to date with all my appointments, breakthroughs in the case, and guided me step through step in a process that I never thought that I had to come to endure. If Victor's not available, Susy will go out of her way to take care you. The productivity and efficiency in that office is second to none. Thank you Victor!

If I had to describe my experience with Kearns Rotolo Law, it would be "Guaranteed Professionalism." I sought out the help of Mr. Rotolo and his team for a recent alcohol related incident I was involved in, which required appearance in Municipal Court. As it was an isolated incident I had no idea what to do or how to handle the situation. Luckily, I didn't have to. From our initial meeting until after my court appearance, I was taken care of like family. Not only did I feel important, I felt like Mr. Rotolo sincerely cared about my predicament and he was able to speak to me as a friend and mentor, rather than just an attorney. We were able to come together and develop a plan to not only guarantee the best possible outcome, but also to help put me on the right path to success as a man. Come to him prepared and he will fight for you; adhere to his advice and you will succeed. I am not only grateful that my charges were all dropped, but I am humbled that he offered me assurance, clarity and invaluable advice, which I am forever thankful for. I confidently recommend Mr. Rotolo to anyone seeking a professional, compassionate, and driven attorney who consistently fights for mission success.

I used Kearns Rotolo Law for a municipal court matter in Clinton Township. Some family and friends had used the firm in the past with matters ranging from personal injury to divorce; all highly recommended them. Vic and his team kept me well-informed on what was going on and wasted no time in handling my case. The results were even better than I could have hoped! I would recommend them to any of my friends who require counsel.

I hired Victor Rotolo because of his expertise and skill in custody matters. He was terrific - focused, compassionate, and assertive.

The Victor
To a law-abiding person, the thought of involvement in the judicial process is a daunting prospect. I was fortunate on my first, and I hope my last, visit to court to be represented by Victor Rotolo. Victor not only secured a very satisfactory outcome to my case, he managed, by his good humor, to make the experience less painful. I think Mr Rotolo is perfectly named for a lawyer; truly a victor!

Review of Victor Rotolo - Law Firm
I recently utilized Victor Rotolo and his team to support a legal matter with my son within his college.
I found Victor to be very grounded, down to earth, engaged, organized, knowledgeable and very competent.
He really cared and it came through in all he did for us.
He made time for us and welcomed our feedback during the process, so as to work as a team.
He was a pleasure to work with and I would utilized his services again if needed.

He is dedicated to providing the best service and is a true professional. I will continue to consult with him regarding any legal issues in the future. He is a respectable, hardworking, kindhearted man and I would recommend his legal services to anyone.

Produces results. The lawyer you want for criminal charges.
I was referred to Victor a couple years ago through a family friend and it was the biggest blessing in disguise. I was young and dumb with still a college mentality and made a few dumb choices that I thought would affect my future forever. Victor, Woody and (the) team were there the whole time and put every second they could into the cases so that they knew them inside and out before my appearances. The results that they produced I cannot thank them enough for, having one completely dismissed and the other with monetary fines. Victor and Woody were more than just lawyers to me; they became mentors and cared much more about (my case) than just the money, which is a very fair cost. They care about your well-being and aren't your average law firm. I personally think they are one of the best, if not the best, in New Jersey and, if you have charges pending, I would look no further and contact this firm. It will take the stress off and leave it to them for the best results. Thank you again, Rotolo Law.

Compassionate, Tough, Produces Results
During the most difficult time of my life, Victor was compassionate and truly concerned for my well-being. Although completely willing and confident to go to trial, he honored my desire to settle my case out of court, if possible, and worked tirelessly to obtain a fair settlement. He has a wonderful support team and also has a network of people in all fields to call on in order to obtain the best information and expertise. If I ever needed legal support again, Victor would be my first call.

Exceptional in every way!
This is a uniquely skilled and attentive law firm, unlike any I've dealt with in my 40+ years of business and personal experience.
At the top, Victor Rotolo dedicated valuable time to understanding "me" first, then honed right in on smart practical solutions to meet my legal challenges, immediately putting his experienced support team to work. Wherever obstacles arose, Victor was quick to address them personally and proactively, while his equally attentive team was relentless in efficient, effective follow-ups on my behalf.
In all my encounters with Kearns Rotolo Law, it was no surprise that results (each time) were swift and successful. Rather, the surprise to me was the cost -- fair and accurate, streamlined due to their smart & efficient work-style, well worth the investment.
For myself and evidently for many others, Kearns Rotolo Law is absolute "peace of mind" when legal issues arise. Priceless to me, despite the reasonable cost.

Superb counsel and expert advise. Thank you Vic
I am an attorney and have practiced law for 26 years. I hired Vic to handle a very difficult family matter because I do not handle family law. Vic was extremely competent and obtained a result far beyond my expectations. Without his counsel, my son's and family's life would have been changed forever. Thank you, Vic, for your good lawyering. I very much appreciate the personal attention and time dedicated to this matter. I highly recommend Vic.

Vic is amazing
I hired Vic for a criminal case. He helped me emerge from a potentially serious case without much more than monetary fines. Vic is incredibly friendly and helped me feel more comfortable about a situation that would otherwise have been very stressful. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Victor Rotolo
I've used Mr. Rotolo twice by now and I can honestly say, he is and owns the hardest and most effective lawyer/law firm in New Jersey. They provide outstanding service and are there for you 100% of the time. He is a genius at his work and definitely knows the right people in the area. Everyone knows him, and is very respected. The most professional and effective law firm in the business!

Divorce
Vic is no doubt an outstanding lawyer. (He) Knows law very, very well and how to best litigate. The great thing is he's a total family guy and displays extreme compassion to and for his clients. My divorce was unusually difficult (crazy, actually) and he was always there for advice, strategy, and yeah humor (he's got great, funny stories). He's the guy I could call any time when I thought I was the crazy one (HA!) and (he) put everything that REALLY mattered back into perspective. I worked with a couple of people in his firm and they ALL display the same amount of knowledge, skill, tact and compassion that he displays. He's built a very successful practice/firm where his standards and values are subscribed to by everyone there. It's pretty cool. Would I use him again? In a second! And oh, I almost forgot, we rocked in court!

Amazing
My husband and I retained Vic to represent my husband for an unfortunate accident that occurred at our home. Let me tell you it was one of the best decisions we made. Vic is not your typical attorney. He actually cares about his clients; he takes his time to get to know you as person. What he did for my family was unbelievable. Never in million years would I think we would (have) received the results that Vic had managed to negotiate. His team is remarkable and reliable, taking care of everything. I spent many sleepless nights worrying; Vic knew that and he told me I am not to worry, that's what I pay him for. I was to relax and not worry about a thing; my problems are his and he will take care of it, and he most certainly did. I know now that if I ever need an attorney to use Vic. I trust him with everything. He truly cares about his clients. Its not all about money with Vic. He has a big heart.

Victor is a great attorney, friend and human being
I guess I am no different than most people. When I have troubles, I worry a lot. Fortunately, I have been blessed with few problems. However, when I was faced with legal challenges, I was blessed with Victor Rotolo. I know that when he is on board, I have nothing to worry about. Some things can't be fixed, but if there is a chance to fix a problem, Victor is the man that you want by your side. He genuinely cares about his clients and is a true friend and lifesaver to my family and I. I hope that I never face a really bad situation in my life, but I am thankful to know that Victor is there if I need the best possible attorney and friend. If you are reading this review, then trust me; you need not look any further and put your trust and faith in Victors hands. I hope that this will help you worry less, like I have experienced. You will not regret it. I wish legal trouble on no one, and I wish anyone who has a legal problem all the best.

Best of the Best

Dear Mr. Rotolo:

I want to thank you for representing me over the past several months regarding the citation I received for an unfortunate traffic violation.
Having your representation brought me a tremendous feeling of inner peace. Your positive attitude and wise counsel, along with your intervention, relieved me of a great deal of anxiety. The Rotolo staff was professional, thoughtful and expeditious working on my case.
Mr. Rotolo is a straight shooter, never did he sugar coat my situation, handled everything while keeping me informed and walked me through everything as it progressed.
He's the rare attorney who doesn't treat people like he's "a lawyer" and, on top of that, is one of the most decent, down-to-earth professionals I have ever met. He's the best of the best and the nicest guy you will ever meet. I would recommend him to all.
I have already recommended several other of my acquaintances to you. Again, I thank you for all you have done for me.

Respectfully,
Gary G.

I sought out Victor about a year ago for a criminal case I was facing in Mercer County. His reputation proceeds him because I searched diligently for lawyers in that county and everybody always pointed to Victor stating he was the best. I never dealt with a lawyer before this situation but my common sense tells me that they were all right. Victor invited me into his office to speak about the case and he was very personable and committed. He treated my case like it was his own! Thank you Victor

We recently had a situation where we needed to hire an attorney. We selected Kearns Rotolo Law and I can honestly say that we were above and beyond satisfied with Vic and his team. We would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone should the need arise. We blindly picked the firm out of the phone book because I liked his ad. Now I believe that God was pointing us in the right direction. Thank you Vic and Kearns Rotolo Law for being there for us in our time of need.

Unfortunately, something tragic happened in my life where I needed lawful backing. Having never been through an experience like this I did my research and all fingers pointed towards Victor Rotolo as the best lawyer in criminal law. My uncle works for a law firm and he advised me to go with Victor because of his reputable background. Victor exceeded my expectations with his extensive knowledge, due diligence, and overall commitment to my case. I understand that all lawyers have quite a bit of cases that they work on and are usually up to their shoulders in work, but working with Victor never felt like that. If I couldn't get a hold of Victor, then his assistant, Susy, would be more then happy to help me out and within minutes I would get the answers I needed. I think that the most important aspect to mention about Victor and his firm is the sheer empathy he holds for his clients. He literally acted like he was the one on trial instead of vice versa. This dedication he has towards his work is why his actions far exceed his reputation. This firm makes miracles happen. Thank you Victor!

The best there is. Can't thank this firm for everything they have done during what was, no doubt, the most difficult time of my life. Just when I thought everybody gave up on me, Victor and Woody were there the whole time with their hands out, more than willing to help. Thank you Victor, Woody, and staff. You only want Rotolo for legal issues.
