Testimonials
I am writing this email to express my gratitude for the moral support you have given me at the time I needed the most. By the time I reached the court house all my nervousness had gone and I was very comfortable. Thank you for the long ride. I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody in your office who have been very kind and supportive. Not worried about the outcome of the case, I thank GOD for placing me in the hands of a team of respectful excellent professionals who truly care. Thank you.

The Hanlon Niemann law firm took my case when others wouldn’t. They worked hard to get my Mom the Medicaid Insurance that she deserved. My mom is handicapped and at only 75 years of age too young to be placed in a nursing home. Now, thanks to the hard work done by Fred and Diane, she can remain at the place she has called home for the past 4 years.. If it wasn’t for them, her time at The assisted living facility would have been limited. Both mom and I can sleep better these days and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Thanks again Fred and Diane!

I'm a World War II Veteran and reside in an assisted living residence in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I hired Mr. Niemann, an attorney recommended to me by my family attorney as a lawyer experienced in elder law and veteran benefits. I hired his firm for asset protection planning, Medicaid for my wife and the filing of an application for Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits. The staff and professionals at Hanlon Niemann were all very capable, responsive and caring. I feel like they are family to me.
My legal affairs were capably and diligently processed and I was able to obtain the benefits my wife and I desperately needed.
I am grateful to Mr. Niemann and will recommend his office to all of my veteran friends.

First of all, I just wanted to thank you so much for the time, and most of all, for the knowledge, concern and support you so generously gave me during our meeting on May 26, 2010. I walked out of your office feeling much more confident and very relieved. I'm not sure how you will take this, but you are an extraordinary human being and the antithesis of the stereotypical lawyer. A usually skeptical person, I trusted you from the moment I shook your hand! In addition, every member of your staff with whom I came in contact with was courteous, respectful, and helpful. You and your partner have created a very special environment, and you should be commended.

My Dad resided in an assisted living facility for many years. As his personal funds were quickly disappearing, I knew I needed assistance. Mr. Niemann and his staff explained the Medicaid application process thoroughly and accurately. They were diligent in their efforts to expedite the application which was approved by the Monmouth County Board of Social Services. I was extremely happy with the service provided by Mr. Niemann and his staff.

The guidance and advice of Mr. Niemann and his staff is sincerely appreciated.

Prior to her death in 2008, I was my Mom’s Power of Attorney. She moved to North Carolina to live out her final years with me and my family. Previously, she had lived her entire life in New Jersey.
After her death, property in New Jersey left to me and my siblings, was supposed to be sold and divided among us but unfortunately an unhappy sibling refused to cooperate.
After researching attorneys in New Jersey, I hired Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. to represent my interests. I am glad that I did. His office was terrific and advocated forcibly and professionally on my behalf. We were kept informed throughout the entirety of the case and the quality of the work was excellent. While stressful at times, the legal dispute was successfully resolved, the case against me dismissed and I was able to cause the property to be sold and the proceeds distributed.
Mr. Niemann and his very capable associates and paraprofessionals did a competent and thorough job and I recommend them to all who are reading this testimonial.

I was in a panic. My fiancee passed away and I was named as a beneficiary of a valuable piece of real estate in Hudson County, New Jersey under his Will. Adding to my grief was the decision of the Executor to ignore the language of his Will and then he refused to convey ownership of the real estate to me.
What were my rights? What could I do? I called various people for a referral to an attorney experienced in probate litigation. Mr. Niemann was recommended to me and immediately he took charge. He filed a lawsuit against the Executor and aggressively fought for me throughout the legal process. He would not compromise or settle for less than I deserved under the Will. A trial took place and Mr. Niemann tried the case for me to the end. He was prepared and his office and associates offered tremendous assistance to me and Mr. Niemann in getting the case ready for trial.
Today, I am the owner of the property my fiancee intended for me to have. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mr. Niemann and his very capable office.

I own several small businesses. I’m good at what I do but legal matters and dealing with lawyers and legal issues is stressful. I called Fredrick Niemann and have developed a great relationship with their lawyers and staff. They have reviewed my leases, negotiated the buyout of my former business partner, handled land use problems in a neighboring county and generally have really been there for me. I really like them personally and professionally. If you are a small business owner, give them a call.
—Mike Halsey, Middletown, NJ
Mr. Niemann has been a God send to me and my family. He has met with me many, many times with patience, sensitivity and understanding that few people expect from an attorney. My family issues are complex and Mr. Niemann understands what I want to happen to my estate upon my death, especially for my adult incapacitated child and other adult children. He created a special trust for my son. He has followed up with me to help me make decisions without forcing his opinions on me. In the end, he told me, "Jerri, my job is to explain your choices and help you understand the legal effect of those choices."
He guided me and put me at ease. He wanted me to make decisions that are the right ones for me. I am thankful for Mr. Niemann being my attorney and I recommend him to elderly persons who seek a qualified professional who will treat them with dignity, respect and sensitivity.
—Jeraldine Vincitore Freehold, NJ
I join in every word my Mom described about Mr. Niemann. She just raves about him and when she leaves his office she is calm and totally confident in his counsel, wisdom and advice. Our family is blessed with him being my Mom's protector and confidant.

My son is an attorney in New Jersey. I am retired and live in Ocean County, New Jersey about 45 minutes away from my son. I needed a lawyer to look at my estate planning documents including Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive. My son recommended Fredrick Niemann in Freehold, New Jersey, specifically Fredrick P. Niemann. I took his advice and met with Mr. Niemann. I am glad that I did. He is a warm and engaging person. No pretense, no airs about him. I immediately felt at ease and we talked about everything that I wanted to do and accomplish with my estate planning. I felt I could open up to him and tell him what was really important to me. He prepared the documents as we discussed and sent them to me in advance to review and approve. Then he scheduled me for a signature session where my appointment was promptly kept and a friendly, positive staff witnessed all of my documents. My son, the attorney, gave me good advice when he recommended Mr. Niemann.
If you are searching for a special attorney, someone who is experienced, likeable as a person and professional, call Mr. Niemann. I felt good about my choice.

This year, our municipality tripled our assessments. We own a business and rental income property and faced a dramatic tax increase. A local realtor referred us to Fredrick Niemann. An attorney immediately filed a tax appeal and explained to us our best strategy and the legal principals to be followed for a lower tax assessment. We were kept fully informed about the progress of our appeal and he included us in negotiations with the municipality. I’m pleased to report that we settled our appeal in a favorable and cost-effective manner. We were very satisfied with our legal representation.

Strong, confident, no nonsense. That was my Fredrick Niemann lawyer when I needed representation in a motor vehicle, municipal court case. My attorney, Ms. Bonnie Wright, was on top of everything. I left the court room satisfied with the outcome and extremely pleased I had selected Fredrick Niemann.

Early Dementia, Alzheimer’s. My Mom’s health deteriorated to the point she required full-time care. She wanted to live at home, but required regular help with the essentials of daily living (i.e. dressing, bathing, etc.). As her caregiver daughter, the responsibilities fell on me to figure out what to do. Thank goodness for Fredrick Niemann and Mr. Niemann.
He met with me and explained all of my options for my mom, from at home/community care, assisted living, state, county and local programs for the elderly, financial eligibility for benefits, Medicaid qualification, pharmaceutical assistance, utility aid, Medicare and Veteran’s benefits, etc. While I felt overwhelmed by it all, Mr. Niemann clearly was in control of what could be done for Mom. We engaged him to make applications for subsidized at-home care and assistance through available grant programs and as part of his services to us, he is counseling us on a reverse mortgage, income and financial products to enhance Mom’s monthly income and to reduce her expenses. Mom would tell me to let Mr. Niemann make all the decisions although I am her Power of Attorney. I value so much his confident and generally caring manner. If you’re trying to help your Mom, Dad or family member deal with a life changing health condition, call Fredrick Niemann. I’m glad I did and so is Mom.

I am 86 years old, a widow and live in Manalapan, New Jersey. I cannot say enough about the caring, kind and compassionate staff at Fredrick Niemann. Mrs. Urciuoli always takes my calls and knows me by my first name. She is patient and concerned about me and my welfare. She has even called to wish me happy holidays and check on my health. Fredrick Niemann is a special law firm.
—Ruth Leibowitz, Manalapan, NJ
My aunt is 80 years old and a widow. She’s in good health and lives alone. My cousin and I are very close to her, but I live in North Carolina and my cousin in California. That makes it hard for us to help her as much as we would like to. She wanted to do some estate planning and asked us to help her find an elder law attorney. I did some homework and research and after many inquires, found Mr. Niemann. He came recommended to me by several sources. Mr. Niemann was the perfect match for my aunt. He demonstrated a kindness and sensitivity that made us feel welcomed and comfortable. He met with us right away and was caring and patient with my aunt and answered all of our questions. He even called my aunt to make sure she was following up on his advice. Mr. Niemann offered us ideas and solutions we hadn’t even thought of. We very much appreciated that. My aunt truly values having Mr. Niemann as her attorney. So do I.

My attorney at Fredrick Niemann cares about me as a person, not just as a case. He is sincere in his interest and often guides me to think of the “big picture”. I think of him as a friend and a “wise counselor”.

I knew I needed an attorney, but could I afford one? Would he or she be experienced and someone I could trust and talk to openly and in confidence?
I was referred to Fredrick Niemann. I was warmly greeted and my appointment promptly kept. I was given all the time I needed to ask questions and talk about my needs and concerns. I was quoted a fee that was appropriate and reasonable for my matter. My attorney gave me answers and advice. He was a counselor at law and in life. Calling Fredrick Niemann was the right decision.
—Nick Alfano, Morganville, NJ
I didn’t know who to turn to for legal advice. There are so many lawyers, but who was the right one for me? I wanted someone who would listen to me and someone I could afford. I knew I couldn’t afford to be without an attorney and then I remembered an old cliché...”you get what you pay for”. But there can be a difference between high price and high value. With Fredrick Niemann, I got a terrific attorney who really worked with me. He was with me every step of the way. His fees were fair and our interpersonal relationship great. I would recommend Fredrick Niemann to anyone who wants a caring attorney.
