Lori Cieckiewicz, P.C.

Focus and practice areas

The firm concentrates on family and matrimonial law, with estate planning as a second area of work. It represents clients across Jersey City and Hudson County in New Jersey. The site presents both a branding name, Lori Cieckiewicz, ESQ, and a legal name, Lori Cieckiewicz, P.C.

Divorce sits at the center of the family law work. The firm also handles child custody and visitation, alimony, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. That grouping covers the money and parenting questions that drive most divorce files.

The family law list runs wider than divorce alone. It takes in domestic violence, civil union dissolution, grandparent visitation, emancipation, and name changes. Palimony and cohabitation agreements appear as well, which matter for couples who share a life without marrying.

Options for settling out of court

A large share of the family law menu points toward resolution without a trial. The firm offers collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration, and its lead attorney is a court-qualified family law mediator. Reconciliation agreements sit in the same column for couples trying to stay together on new terms.

In my opinion, the weight the firm puts on mediation and collaborative work is worth flagging early. These routes tend to cost less and move faster than a contested case. They also give parents more say over the result, which counts when children are involved.

Estate planning and probate

The estate side is narrower than the family law work. The firm drafts estate planning documents and handles probate, the court process of settling an estate after a death. Pairing this with matrimonial law has a logic to it, since divorce, remarriage, and new children all push a will toward a redraft.

How the team is built

Four people appear on the firm's staff page. The line-up is two certified attorneys, one associate attorney, and one paralegal, a compact structure for the range of matters listed.

Lori Cieckiewicz leads the firm and has represented clients in New Jersey for 22 years. She is a Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney and a court-qualified family law mediator. Ana Androvic also holds the Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney credential.

Quevin Casanova works as an associate attorney, and Michelle Rodriguez is the paralegal who supports the case work. Two matrimonial law certifications on a team this size is a detail worth noting for anyone weighing family law help.

Languages on staff

The staff lists four working languages: English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Urdu. That range lets the firm take instructions directly from clients who would otherwise need an interpreter. In a county as mixed as Hudson, that reach has real practical value.

What the record shows

The figures the firm publishes give a sense of its scale. Lori Cieckiewicz has represented clients in New Jersey for 22 years, and the team reports more than 60 years of combined experience.

The site also puts the number of cases handled at nearly 2,500. As a reviewer, I read combined-experience totals with some caution, since they add up separate tenures rather than measure results. The case count still points to steady work over a long stretch, which carries some weight in family law.

For a prospective client, the mix of a long personal tenure and a certified team gives two useful signals at once. One person has stayed in this field for two decades. The bench behind her holds the same certification on the firm's main practice.

The certifications matter on a family docket. The firm lists two Certified Matrimonial Law Attorneys, and its lead also holds a court-qualified mediator role. Both credentials point to a settled focus on family and matrimonial matters.

Where the firm keeps offices

The firm runs several offices across two states. Its New Jersey locations are in Hoboken, Parsippany, Red Bank, and Bridgewater, and it keeps one more office in New York.

That footprint reaches from Hudson County across northern and central New Jersey, with a New York office added to the map. A client near any of these points can pick the closest one while dealing with the same firm throughout. The main office is in Hoboken.
