Attorney Carrie S. Schultz, Esq.

Attorney Carrie SchultzI am an experienced and recognized attorney in my community and industry, but we won’t bore you with those details just yet.  Here is what we think you really want to know about what it means to work with myself and my entire law firm team…

Will we return your calls, emails, etc.?

Yes!! We have a standing policy that you will get a response from us to any inquiry within  24-48 hours, max- even if we have to send it by courier pigeon (just kidding-maybe).
Review

Do we have experience doing what you need?

Absolutely! We have years of combined experience helping people through their divorces and other family law matters.  We dealt with all sorts of situations, all of them being different for one reason or another, which means we will talk to you about your particular set of facts and devise a game plan with you that aligns with your goals.

Are we total assholes?

Never!  But we are unapologetically passionate advocates on your behalf. We also listen to what you have to say and give you our honest advice and guidance, even if it might be hard to digest on occasion.

What kind of work is the firm really good at?

We know how to take a big mess of a case and untangle it to give you clarity and a practicable approach/path forward.

Are we expensive?

We are not the cheapest law firm out there, but we are not the most expensive either—we pride ourselves on providing the best legal expertise, quality, and client service possible.  The old adage really does hold true that “you get what you pay for!” –especially when it comes to something this important that will unquestionably have a profound effect on you and your children’s future.

I am certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney. I was admitted to the New Jersey and Florida state bars in May 2001 and to the New York state bar in July 2004; I attended the University of Miami School of Law. I have served as Co-Chair of the Young Lawyers Subcommittee of the New Jersey State Bar Association Family Law Section Executive Committee for the 2008-2009 term and am currently an active member of FLEC.

Additionally, I attended the American Bar Association Family Law Trial Advocacy Institute in 2005 and successfully completed the program. I have also been a lecturer, moderator, and panelist in matrimonial law-related seminars for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education and the New Jersey Association for Justice. I was named to the New Jersey’s Top Young Lawyers list, sponsored by New Jersey Monthly, in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2013-2017. Since 2015 through the present, I was named to the Super Lawyers List, a service of Thomson Reuters, according to New Jersey Monthly Magazine. In 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2020, and 2021 I was voted one of the Top Lawyer’s in Bergen County for Family Law by (201) Magazine. Avvo.com selected me as a superb attorney for many consecutive years; I was also selected in 2014-2017 as one of the Top 40 Under 40 New Jersey Family Law Attorneys by the National Trial Lawyers and nationally ranked Top 10 under 40 by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys (see footnote). In 2016 and 2017, I was awarded membership to Lawyers of Distinction, which is only available to the top 10% of attorneys in the State of New Jersey; I was noted as one of the ten best female attorneys by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys; I was commended as a Renowned Attorney by the National League of Renowned Attorneys; and the firm, Schultz & Associates, LLC was accredited by the Better Business Bureau (see footnote) and named one of the fastest growing law firms by Law Firm 500 since 2017 and every consecutive year thereafter.

Attorney Carrie Schultz

True to my alma mater, I am a loyal Florida Gators fan — “Go Gators!” In addition, whenever given the opportunity, you will find me enjoying my many years of Latin ballroom dancing lessons in salsa, cha-cha, hustle, and West Coast swing.
