I retained Linda Piff for divorce mediation and after being completely ineffective and unhelpful she actually later represented my ex against me which is clearly an unethical conflict of interest. She is a greedy, unethical, incompetent hack. You'd be better off throwing your money off a bridge than hiring her for anything!

Does not communicate effectively or have your best interest at heart. She called me from Florida and told me someone from her building was going to go to court with me a few days before the date because she was in Naples. I said they didn't know my case. She said they did. She honestly expected me to be okay with it. I ended up with nothing but debt.

I am out both trust and money through this lawyers mediation process. Definitely would not recommend if you are in a marriage that has unbalanced assets i.e. working spouse/non-working spouse. Everything appears to run smooth when your asking questions (remember time is money) however when the real assistance is needed for sticky topics she falls far short - doesn't return calls, emails. May have her legal assistant replace her in very important meetings. Does not even have the decency to provide closure letter/communication when you terminate services after providing serious money for services. I would avoid.

This was by far the worst so called "mediator" you could imagine. I met my ex-husband there to discuss a dispute in lieu of going to court. My ex was practically on her lap throwing copies of emails, text msgs, etc while she allowed him to dominate the "mediation". Instantly she began to side with him without giving both of us equal time to explain our positions. I too am a trained mediator (previously for 32 yrs, now retired). I've never seen someone lose control of "the room" and behave so poorly. Her comments were irresponsible and ignorant since she did not have facts from both proponents. I left after a half an hour and she still wanted almost $400 for her time. She should be ashamed of herself and boycotted to say the least...She's extremely unprofessional!

Linda respected and honored my wishes to end my marriage with grace and dignity. With Linda's help I was able to divorce in the most kind and loving way possible. Linda stood by me and gave me courage when I didn't have any. Her support meant so much to me. She me gave me strength when I felt that I didn't have any. She gave me compassion when I was in pain. She listened without judgment when I needed to talk. She allowed me to be who I am and step into my own power. Her knowledge gave me power. Her support went far beyond what a lawyer's responsibilities are.

Do not hire this woman! After a quick mediation and signed settlement, I then hired Linda to finish the divorce. Not only did she lose my paperwork, it took a year and a half to get me a court date! Then she had the nerve to send someone else to court- who never showed up and didn't call to tell me. Now that I'm using a reliable attorney, in part to fix all her oversights,I can see how much she screwed me over. Very unprofessional, no communication whatsoever, and will use you as an audience to talk about herself. I tell all my friends looking for a divorce attorney to stay clear of her.

I did not have a good experience with Linda Piff. She did not work as my advocate and was more interested in her bottom line than me, her client. I never truly felt she was on my side. Do yourself a favor and make sure you research the lawyer you use in your collaborative divorce, it is crucial that you find someone you can trust to represent you well. In my opinion Ms Piff was much more interested in promoting her business and her many her many ancillary services than she was in representing her client.

Linda is very knowledgeable of the divorce process and helped me and my family through a difficult time. With the collaborative process she was able to save us time and money. I can't thank her enough that my divorce went smoothly and protected my children from the negatives associated with a divorce. I highly recommend Linda Piff and the Collaborative Divorce Process.

Linda Piff was so helpful and genuinely concerned about me and my children. She was compassionate and also very professional and knowledgeable. She was a tremendous help during my divorce.

Linda is a straight forward, honest, caring attorney. She is number one in her field of Collaborative Law and continues to encouage people to use it so the stress of a divorce is less. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone for legal advice. Linda is always available if you need to speak to her and she continues to educate herself thru conferences and seminars. If she cannot help you, she will be the first to tell you so. Collaborative Law was not around NJ when I first met Linda, but if it was available, I would definitely have used it.

Contemplating divorce? Educate yourself first to understand the law, the process and possible outcomes. Then choose Linda Piff to represent you. Linda is professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. I chose Linda because her peers (Monmouth County Bar Family Division) chose her, which speaks volumes of a professional’s integrity. If you want to fight it out, both parties will lose in the long run and waist a lot of money doing it. Collaborative law is all about negotiating within the legal boundaries and Linda is the BEST at it! No one wins in divorce, so you must be accepting of the outcome to move on to take care of yourself and others. Linda facilitates this as she is a caring person and not your typical divorce lawyer. Linda’s staff; Jeanne and Roxanne, are well adapted to Linda’s philosophies and were highly valued in my proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend the Piff law firm to anyone who is serious about an amicable divorce resolution!

I have worked with Linda on mediation, collaborative and litigated divorce cases. As she has stepped away from litigation, to focus on collaborative divorce and mediation, I feel she is at the top of her game. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and very generous with her time. She is a creative problem solver and gets personally invested in working towards her clients achieving a civil and fair resolution of their divorces. Her staff is also excellent, and an asset to her practice.

Steer clear of this egocentric self absorbed narcissist. She focuses on the bottom line, hers. If she can inflate your bill by having you use the many services she provides in her "one stop shopping divorce store" she will. The therapists, forensic tax accounts, child psychologists, etc. will charge you exorbitant amounts of money for their so called "preferred attention". It is just another way that LInda Piff tries to squeeze as much money out of you as she possibly can. Also, be sure not to miss the GIANT showcase full of trophies in her office to show the whole world how awesome she thinks she is. Bottom line, if you want a lawyer who will really listen to you and care about your personal plight, Linda Piff is not the lawyer for you. Her struggle is about self promotion and pumping up her giant ego not about you or anyone else she represents. You will see what I mean on your first consultation with Linda, she's all show and no go.....

Having gone through two divorces in my life time unfortunately, I can now say you have a choice on how to deal with this sad situation. I went through the old traditional divorce which took 6 months & thousands of dollars. Motions back and forth through the court system, each one taking months. During this process your whole family is being torn apart and the healing process cannot begin.The collaborative divorce took six months and at a fraction of the cost. The collaborative process is a disscusion between spouses, while the attornys present, (advise you) discuss legal issues on your behalf. You now have a voice as to whats better for you and your family. I would also like to mention, the collaborative practice has a support team to assist all matters; financial, children and coaching if needed. I will leave you with this, you now have a choice you decide. I far as Linda Piff is concerned, she knows the law to the letter and she does care, even giving me her personnal cell #

Went to Linda, explained my situation to her and Jeremy and was told that I had a great chance of having my alimony reduced. After $4,000 of lawyer fees, I was denied by the court. I finally got to speak to Linda and was told well that's the judges decision and she is a new judge and changed the whole case around saying "well you did settle for that amount of alimony two years ago". A huge difference from when I signed the binder. I never spoke to Linda and her assistant Jeannie never returns phone calls. I wasted $4,000 and being a 100% disabled veteran on a fixed income, I AM BROKE. I am sorry I did not see these reviews before I hired Linda and her staff.

This lawywer tries to make as much money as she can, despite the best interests of her clients. She is awful, does not return phone calls, and does not represent her clients' best interests.

This attorney knows what she is doing and talking about. Fired my first attorney and decided to take a consult with Linda Piff. She is wonderful! I hired her and things have been going the way they should have from the very beginning. Very, very impressed.

Linda is just amazing! I recommend any of my friends that are going thru a divorce to go to her! I have no idea what the other posts are saying about not returning calls! She was always professional with me. She is compassionate and did what was great in making sure my divorce was keeping my children's best interest in mind. If you want your divorce done right with your children's best interest in mind, Linda Piff is the best!

This atty was horrible, never returned calls, mawe a lot of mistakes and it cost me more money, time and pain. I had to go get another attorney after 8k nothing was done on my case but she would keep sending bills. Do yourself a favor and make sure you do a lot of reseach on picking the correct attorney. This attorney does not care about her clients she just looks at the $$ signs.

I went to Linda because I was told she was THE authority on non-litigious divorce. While I do not doubt that she knows alot. Her work quality, communication and advocacy were horrible. I did not feel as though I was well represented. I could not get a return call from her EVER. I felt like the other attorney drove the settlement and Linda for all of her bravado, was ill prepared. She seemed too involved in other activities and completely self-absorbed. Look elsewhere for effective, involved representation..this lawyer is only into self-promotion.

Let's just say you could do better to find a less self absorbed individual to represent you. Good luck!

I am still in the early stages of the divorce process and therefore have a somewhat limited opinion at this time. That said, Linda has been extremely supportive and helpful to date.

There is much I can say about Linda Piff,Esq. regarding our almost eight year attorney/client relationship. Her professionalism and honesty are two of her outstanding qualities - in additon, her ongoing support and guidance of my personal goals AFTER my divorce is truly astonishing to me. Linda's total committment to her clients before, during and after their divorce,is truly amazing. Evidenced by her arranging for a group of us to meet with 6 or 7 professionals AFTER our divorces so we would be educated about the road to follow and many of the major issues, and emotions we would encounter. Linda has always made time for me - I have a heart-felt gratitude for Mrs Piff professionally and personally.

I think Linda Piff was a good, honest fair lawyer that really believes in that divorce shouldnt be like you want to run over your ex. I know I have to deal with my ex for a very long time, I am glad we dont have a horrible relationship, I needed that for my kids. That was the most important thing for me.I do recommend her, if you relly think of your kids first, I know I do. marissa Cook
