CLIENT REVIEWS
Family Law Attorney
I have worked as a financial professional on several divorce cases with David. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hard working. He genuinely cares for his clients, and gets superior results in all of the cases that I have particpated in. I would highly recommend him.

Rock Solid Attorney who does right!
As always, your attorney is only as good as you let him be. Being truthful and honest and having full disclosure with your attorney is the key to any successful result. David is a straight shooter. He never mislead me and on many occasions took the time to explain the ins and outs of child custody and what to expect. As I read the Morris County Bar Association’s Code of Professionalism, I can without a doubt state that Mr. Salvaggio exemplifies the very core at the heart of this code. He is a trusted professional who truly cares about his clients and not just the bottom line. As a client who has needed Mr. Salvaggio’s assistance over the last 3 years, it has been a long journey, but not one without great rewards. My 3 year old son’s future success in life will ultimately be the end result of Mr. Salvaggio’s hard work and dedication to excellence.Less

Exceptional, Empathic Representation
The Salvaggio Law Group provided me with excellent advice and representation when my former wife initiated an inappropriate process in the Morris County Court. The research conducted by the firm and the level of preparation that went into my defense in this complex situation, involving three different jurisdictions, was outstanding. The case was dismissed. Throughout the very stressful process, I found David and the members of the firm to be very empathic and reassuring.

Choosing the right attorney is vital to the outcome of your case and your personal well-being.
After a great deal of research to find the best New Jersey divorce lawyer for my situation, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. David Salvaggio would be the right choice for my complex divorce case, and I was right. I received the best legal advice and representation I could ever have wished for. The divorce proceeded without incident, and I received everything I wanted in the settlement including the custody arrangement, which I was not willing to budge on.
I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Salvaggio. I told him during our first conversation that I wanted an attorney that would care as much about my case as if he were my father in that courtroom. I know it sounds funny, but I got that. I cannot thank him and his law group enough for working so hard for me and my child. We can now start over with peace of mind.

Responsive-Professional-Truly Concerned
Mr. Salvaggio spoke to me in such a way that I felt a real concern for my situation. He explained how we should proceed in a way that I felt confident that he had his hands fully around what was happening in my case. His responsiveness was fabulous! Everyone in his firm were helpful as well. Would highly recommend Mr. Salvaggio’s professional help.
