Why Choose Our Ocean County Family Lawyers
What makes Amdur, Maggs & Dugan stand out is our exclusive focus on family law in Ocean County. Our attorneys spend their time guiding clients through family matters, staying current on the laws, and understanding local procedures that shape your case.
Every client receives a customized strategy, not a cookie-cutter solution. We begin by listening carefully, learning about your priorities, and helping you weigh both immediate and long-term impacts. When appropriate, we offer mediation as an effective alternative to litigation. Mediation encourages cooperation, reduces stress, and gives you an active role in decisions.
We value accessibility. Virtual consultations make connecting with us easier, whether your schedule is demanding or you prefer not to travel. Throughout your case, we put your family’s interests first, providing guidance shaped by hands-on experience with Ocean County’s family law courts and systems.
Our Approach: Personalized Solutions for Your Family’s Needs
Each family’s circumstances are different. That’s why we start our process with a confidential consultation online or in our office. We provide a supportive environment where you can discuss your concerns and goals without pressure.
During your initial consultation with our team, we address both the urgent details and your vision for the future. We explain every option in plain language and discuss likely outcomes. Whether you are seeking help with divorce, child custody, support, or enforcing or modifying an order, we work with you to create an actionable plan specific to your situation.
If your matter requires appearances at the Ocean County Superior Court or local family divisions, we guide you through each step and communicate what you can expect. We emphasize preparation, empathy, and responsiveness, and always focus on practical solutions for your family's stability and well-being.

What to Expect When You Contact Our Team
Reaching out for help can be daunting. We make this first step as simple as possible. Clients can choose virtual or in-person consultations based on what fits their lives best.
