My Approach to Matrimonial Law

Karen Meislik devotes her practice solely to family law matters, providing counsel in the areas of divorce, custody, equitable distribution, and financial support. For more than 20 years, beginning as a law clerk to a New Jersey Family Court judge, she has strived to assist her clients in coming to a resolution of their issues so they can resume their lives.

Karen is one of fewer than 140 out of 60,000 New Jersey attorneys who have been certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Matrimonial Attorneys. The certified matrimonial law attorney designation is granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court to attorneys who are able to demonstrate sufficient levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skills in matrimonial law practice. The Supreme Court, through its Board on Attorney Certification, designates only those lawyers who apply for certification and who are able to meet the standards set by the Board and approved by the Court.
