Smuro on being named "Monmouth County Top Lawyer" 2018 View All Publications March 18, 2020 - COVID-19 Pandemic: A Message from Pashman Stein Walder Hayden's Family Law Group I have been practicing family and matrimonial law for the past sixteen years, representing clients in all aspects of this area of the law including prenuptial and matrimonial settlement agreements, custody and parenting time disputes, child support, alimony and equitable distribution/division of complex assets and liabilities. When clients first meet with me, they usually express their fear of the unknown and what their lives will look like after their divorce or separation. With my knowledge and experience, I can alleviate those fears and assist my clients with this transition in their lives. This area of the law requires a great deal of insight and sensitivity in the midst of high conflict and emotional turmoil. In this capacity, I serve clients as both a litigator, aggressively pursuing a desired outcome in Court when issues cannot be settled, and as a counselor, compassionately guiding them through the legal process during very difficult times in their lives.
