Matthew Abatemarco

Roe, former Presiding Judge of the Family Court in Burlington and Ocean Counties. Matthew has spoken at NJICLE, NJAPM, as well as NJSCPA seminars.

William Robert Frantz

is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University and Rutgers School of Law – Camden. After graduating law school, Rob was an Assistant District Attorney for the City of Philadelphia for over a decade before transitioning to the practice of Family Law. In his time as an Assistant District Attorney, Rob was assigned to the Major Trials Unit and prosecuted thousands of dangerous criminal defendants including both bench and jury trials. Rob uses his experience in the courtroom to resolve complex issues families encounter in the uncoupling process while simultaneously negotiating resolutions from a position of strength.

All three attorneys were members of the Domestic Violence clinic at Rutgers Law School, with each attorney receiving honors related to that service. With their settlement minded approach and ability to navigate a trial, the attorneys at our firm have the necessary experience to handle your matter.
