We worked with Erika on our will. She was extremely patient and professional and took the time to explain all the complexities of creating a will and poa. Her friendly persona put us at ease as she walked us through each component and explained everything in detail. My fiancé has had a previous experience with the law firm and Erika in particular and was just as impressed with her knowledge and expertise in both cases he was involved with. We highly recommend this law firm for their professionalism, taking a deep interest in their clients, working with clients time frames, and their expertise of the law.

Oliver Barry & Mr. Grassi were contacted to represent my wife & me in a head-on vehicle crash that happened on July 2, 2016 outside Wilwood, NJ. We were on our back home in Virginia & were struck by an 80 yr old driver from Pennsylvania. The 3 state combination of involved laws & insurance configurations didn't deter Mr Barry from "digging in" to get the best results for us. His team kept us informed while moving along to get the results in the shortest amount of time.
We recommend Oliver Barry & the Barry, Corrado & Grassi law firm for any legal matters that might come up.

Mr. Chris Gillin-Schwartz handled our sale/settlement from a townhome to a condo when we sold our property in Avalon. Mr. Gillin-Schwartz saved us a lot of money when we went to settlement on New Jersey state taxes. I would highly recommend using Mr. Gillin-Schwartz and the law firm of Barry.Carrado.Grassi &Gillin-Schwartz.
