Whenever you use an accounting firm, or as in this case, a law firm, you expect technical excellence in the work they do. Hanlon Niemann delivers this. But to really exceed your expectations, a professional service firm has to wrap a broader service experience around the work they do, and the key elements of this experience are empathy, friendliness and an understanding of the client’s needs. This is where Hanlon Niemann truly exceed.
Anthony Pisano, Freehold, NJ
I found the members of the law firm of Hanlon Niemann to be friendly, professional, cost-effective, prompt and creative. In short, I felt that I was in “good hands”.
Daniel & Florence Donigian, Oakland, NJ
Mr. Nieman was a true professional who set up a trust fund for our special needs child. In addition, he prepared wills and health care directives for my husband and I. Of course, we had a million questions to be answered and some very hard decisions to make along the way. He really understood that and never rushed or pushed us just to get things done. Fred Niemann was able to guide us through the whole process and answer all of our questions with the utmost integrity, knowledge, and patience! I have to mention that he has a wonderful staff in his office, especially Michelle his assistant, who always manages to get you a quick answer or to provide guidance to you through email or phone call after speaking to Mr. Niemann. I highly recommend Mr. Niemann. We are definitely planning to hire him to obtain legal guardianship of our daughter before she turns eighteen years of age. That’s how much we trust and respect him!
Mohamed and Sharon Arafa, Cliffwood, NJ
Overall, I was very satisfied with the whole experience of making a will. I am very confident with the outcome. Hanlon Niemann is a very professional office and the staff is excellent. I will use them in the future if needed and will recommend them to my friends.
Phyllis Goodwin, Brick, NJ
I am 81 years old and have dealt with law firms all my life. You are the best I have encountered, including using a letter with a return stamp!
Robert Heath, Lakewood, NJ
From start to finish, the entire experience of the “dreaded” estate planning and especially preparing our special needs child trust agreement went so smoothly. That is thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Mr. Niemann and his wonderful staff. Mr. Niemann, with the help of Lucille and Michele managed to guide us with sound advice, answer each and every question that arose (and there were many!) with the utmost patience, sensitivity and always with a smile on their faces. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will be counting on all of you for helping us to obtain guardianship of Hannah next year!
Sharon Arafa – Cliffwood, NJ
I came to Hanlon Niemann & Wright to have a Last Will & Testament done. Everyone I met with was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous which is sometimes hard to find. All of my questions were fully answered, my documents promptly prepared and my telephone calls promptly returned. Everything was up to my expectations.
Susan Handelman – Freehold, NJ
There is no way that we would have gotten this done without your assistance. You are the best. You provide top notch service that would benefit many families facing the Medicaid nightmare. I can’t thank you enough.
Bob S. and Sophie S., Freehold, NJ
It is a pleasure for me to write this letter to express my appreciation for the excellent services provided by your firm. I would personally like to thank your paralegal, Diane, who went through great lengths with the challenging process of applying for Medicaid benefits for my mom. She impressed me very much with her competence and dedication. She was not only very attentive and helpful, but also extremely knowledgeable as to the facts, law and State rules and regulations pertaining to Medicaid.
Please thank her personally for caring enough to put all that time and effort into mom’s case and always making herself available to me. She was willing to answer all of my questions and reassure me that everything would work out.
Diane did an excellent job in bringing a complicated situation to a positive resolution. It is evident that she has a love for the profession and a sincere interest in and concern for her clients.
I feel fortunate to have had an opportunity to work with your firm. The service and personal attention I received was exceptional and I would be happy to recommend your firm to anyone seeking legal counsel in this area in the future. It was truly a positive experience.
Sincere thanks for all you have done.
Linda F., Manchester, NJ
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year. Secondly, I wanted to compliment Betty Walker on how she handled my Mom’s Medicaid case. I had a sense of peace and confidence in her and I am most appreciative of her part in getting the approval so quickly for my Mom, without any problems. Thank you again for handling my Mom’s case and giving me peace of mind, allowing me to concentrate on my Mom’s well being without having the additional stress of this Medicaid situation.
Debbie Knox – Kendall Park, NJ
My wife and I wanted to express our gratitude for the guidance and patience from you and your staff along this journey. Life is strange at times and the things that bring us together can be just as strange, if not more.
I not only got to put a few bucks in the bank, but got to reconnect with my cousin Sarah, which was a great surprise for me. That alone was worth the journey for me. Getting to know her and the family has been really nice.
I know it was a long day for all of us in mediation, but I really am blessed to have gotten to know you and talk with you. I admire your skills, work ethic and attitude regarding time and Patience. When the opposing attorney was running her big mouth and doing her thing, you never lost your composure, nor your position. I’m hoping it’s one of the nuggets I’m able to take and implement in my personal/professional life.
The short version of this story is that you have a lot to offer people, you’re a true, trusted advisor. Your words and actions seem to align with your values, which is like common sense, very hard to come by now a days. Your staff does a great job as well. Please let them know that as often as you can.
Keep up the good work Fred and thanks again.
Mike Price – Plainfield, IN
I’m not sure if you recall, but you met myself and my brother back in March in reference to my elderly father Callis Bridgers. We met with you late on a Saturday evening at your office with very heavy hearts. What led us to your firm was that my stepmother had taken my elderly father to PA and admitted him to an assisted living facility on the sly. We came to you wearing our hearts on our sleeves not knowing if there was anything we could do as his children to protect his best interests or more importantly bring him back home to NJ. His dementia left him unaware of what had happened to him or that he was being tossed aside due to inconvenience and greed.
Within a few days, I received a call from Bonnie Wright, a person I have come to call friend. You see, the purpose of this email is to thank you and to tell you what a wonderful person you have in your midst. Although I have only met Bonnie once, I will never forget her face. The face of the angel that helped myself and my brothers fight for a man that could not fight for himself……Bonnie became our beacon in the dark.
She helped us secure a co-guardianship agreement with my stepmother that allows for me to watch over my father and participate in decisions about his future. In addition, the agreement gives me the ability to closely watch his finances to ensure he is never taken advantage of again. And one day, he will come back home to NJ.
Bonnie gave us hope when it seemed so far out of reach. It has been a long nine months but worth all the heartache. She is truly a gem and deserves recognition for all the hard work she did to secure some piece of mind in a senseless situation. Not only is she a wonderful lawyer but also a compassionate person. Again, I call her “friend” as she has been my rock and given me encouragement through all the tears and uncertain moments.
I thank the Lord and you, Fred, for bringing her light to our dark situation. God Bless.
Elizabeth Havens – Columbus, NJ
I found Fred Niemann to be caring, thoughtful and helpful. The staff is helpful and very pleasant.
Micki Lederman
It was a pleasure working with your law firm. The staff is quite knowledgeable and personable. I would definitely recommend your services to friends and family.
Carolyn Cannon
I had a client who had come to me for advice. Her mother had done no financial planning and had just had a stroke. The daughter was given power of attorney and was afraid her mother was going to lose the house she and her children were living in if her mother went on Medicaid. Fred was able to think outside the box and come up with a solution that solved their issues. He was also excellent at explaining the pro and cons of each decision so the family felt comfortable they were making the correct decisions. I would easily refer more clients to Fred.
Sean T. Keating, CFP®, ChFC®
Please accept my sincere thanks to your law firm, to you, Lauren Bercik and your staff for all of your patience and assistance in helping my sister and I through the tangled legal jungle in preparation for my sister’s Special Needs Trust account. We would have been lost without you.
Ginny Ditzel – Snow Camp, NC
I am happy to refer the many families I work with daily to Fred Niemann. He is extremely detailed and able to handle all the aspects of elder law that most families need assistance with. Many of the families will make a point of thanking me for referring them to Fred and are able to refer him to others as well. Therefore, I recommend his services highly to anyone seeking a lawyer with integrity, knowledge of his trade and a good reputation.
Christine Meyer – Eldercare Advisor at A Place for Mom
Fred and I are members of the same networking group. He is a smart, down to earth professional and family man. Fred is also an educational speaker on Veterans benefits as a member of my speaker’s bureau for Hovnanian Senior Housing Services.
Rosemarie DeBurgos – Marketing Coordinator, Hovnanian Senior Housing Services
I met Fred several years ago at one of his CEU programs and was very impressed by the interaction he had with his audience. They were so impressed with him that they asked me to host another educational seminar. Years later, I had the opportunity to work for him at his firm as Director of Community Education at Hanlon Niemann. His CEU programs are so educational I always receive a positive feed back. Most important, I enjoy working for such a loyal and caring attorney who volunteers so much of his time to the community and to the professionals educating them on all aspects of Elder Law.
Madeline Tulipani
I have known Fred for at least twenty years as our children grew up together, attended school together and we have been friends and networked throughout this time.
Fred is knowledgeable, passionate and an exemplary Elder Care Law Attorney. I would recommend him highly for taking care of your personal or loved one’s Elder Care needs.
Rebecca Farash Ginsberg
I wanted to thank you, Mr. Niemann for all of your help. You made everything very easy on me during a very difficult time. I know that the three grandchildren by Uncle Bill’s daughter were greatly appreciative of the amount they were sent as they were not expecting to receive anything. Your intervention really helped with that as well. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that you’re work is appreciated.
Carol Graham
I have worked with Fred for several years during which I have tested his concepts of Elder Law and caring for Special Needs persons. I find him knowledgeable and open to working with clients as to their needs. He communicates a high level of caring and concern in a difficult portion of the legal practice.
Bill Lang
Fred is a great resource to me as a financial planner. His knowledge of estate, elder care and veterans issues and benefits, puts me in a better position to help my clients. Fred is willing to answer my questions and recommend alternative planning options.
Joe Leone
Attorney Niemann and his staff presented a very cohesive document for me and my family in order that a document will be present at the time of my death. Continue the good work!
Helen Scott – Ocean, NJ
Fred is an excellent Elder Law and Estate Planning Attorney. I have collaborated with Fred on many occasions for mutual clients as well as in independent consulting situations. Fred and I work well together and I would highly recommend him.
Tom Froehlich
Fred provides an extremely valuable service to not only his clients, but to the community as well. Fred is extremely knowledgeable about all the very important legal issues people in general, but especially seniors, face. His experience allows him to assist people with their financial, healthcare, and government program eligibility issues. He also provides regular seminars to the community to educate the public on the ever changing, tax, healthcare, and related issues. I highly recommend Fred’s services.

I have attended many of Fred’s CEU programs for my CALA license. He presents a very informative and interesting class. It is very obvious that he is a knowledgeable attorney and I would recommend him to any client for their family dealing with elder law issues.
Celeste Chapoutot
I’ve known Fred Niemann for nearly ten years and can say without reservation that he and his firm meet the highest professional standards. Fred works hard for his clients and is an expert in all areas of elder law including estate & probate litigation, asset & income protection and planning for health, estate and aging issues.

I refer all of my clients who have trust and estate planning issues to Fred. His knowledge of the nuances of these legal issues, together with his high professionalism and integrity, gives me every confidence in knowing my client will be grateful for the referral. I can give him my highest possible recommendation.
Steven Monaghan
As a home care provider, I meet with a high volume of families to discuss services. In one particular case I had a family ask legal questions that I was unable to answer for them. I immediately thought about Hanlon Niemann and referred the family to speak with a professional. Shortly after my meeting the family called and thanked me for referring them to Hanlon Niemann because of the superb job that they did. I knew they would come thru and I will continue to use them in the future for all my needs. They are the best!
Michael Baillie
It was a real pleasure working with this firm. I had a lot of questions resulting in quite a few phone calls and Mr. Niemann and his staff were very responsive and never once made me feel uncomfortable and always took the time to clarify or explain anything I didn’t understand. I would highly recommend this firm and will definitely return when th time comes that I need services again.
Colleen Moore – Tinton Falls, NJ
The Hanlon Niemann & Wright 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!
Cindy Rygiel – Sayreville, NJ
My husband and I were together for almost twenty (20) years. We met with Mr. Niemann to have our Wills, Powers of Attorneys and Healthcare Directives prepared. Mr. Niemann was insistent that we have a Comprehensive Power of Attorney, Healthcare Directive and Living Will to protect us in the event that either one of us became sick. Recently, my husband passed after a sudden illness. Thank Goodness for the Healthcare Directive and Power of Attorney prepared by Mr. Niemann. I submitted the documents to the attending physician who promised to honor their terms and purposes. It saved me from possible anguish in case there was a disagreement as to whether life support should or should not be continued. I now better understand the benefit to having a Power of Attorney and Healthcare Directive and am appreciative of Mr. Niemann’s advice concerning the importance of these documents.
I have agreed to sponsor this testimonial because I know firsthand the importance of having a Power of Attorney and Healthcare Directive when faced with an unexpected personal or family emergency.
Donna Foster, Manalapan, NJ
Mr. Niemann and Ms. Wright of his office were extremely helpful and informative. We were very pleased.
Eleador Drude, Toms River, NJ
From start to finish we had a completely positive experience with Fredrick Niemann and Lorraine Banach. Every step of the Medicaid application process was explained to us and professionally executed. They provided excellent service and we would recommend them to anyone.
