D'Aniello devotes his practice exclusively to all aspects of divorce and family law. Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, he has worked with clients whose needs lie in all areas of matrimonial and family law, including divorce litigation, post-judgment litigation, custody and parenting time issues, alimony and child support, pre-nuptial agreements, matrimonial settlement agreements, palimony suits, domestic violence, domestic partnership matters, mediation, arbitration and trials. He takes great pride and care in helping his clients make it through these difficult personal matters. To add to the breadth of his substantial family law litigation practice, Jerry also has considerable experience as a Mediator and Arbitrator for all Divorce and Family Law related matters. He is a court-appointed custody mediator for the Somerset County Mediation Program. Jerry is also admitted to the rosters of Mediators for Economic Aspects of Family Law Cases for thirteen New Jersey counties including Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris and Union. Since 2000, he has served as a Matrimonial Early Settlement Panelist for Somerset and Hunterdon Counties. Jerry has received Certificates of Appreciation from 2002 to 2008 from the Somerset County Superior Court in recognition of his valuable contributions as a Mediator for Economic Aspects of Family Law Cases, for the Custody & Parenting Time Program and as a facilitator for the Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel. Jerry is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the pre-eminent family law association in America, and was appointed to the New Jersey Chapter's Sponsorship Committee. He was also named among the New Jersey Super Lawyers 2010 and 2011 and New Jersey Rising Stars for 2006 and 2007 in Family Law. In 2003, Jerry was selected by his peers as one of the Top 10 Attorneys Under 40 in Family Law. In addition to traditional client representation in divorce litigation, Jerry is a trained Collaborative Law Attorney. His collaborative practice involves working with clients to resolve legal disputes outside the court through a written agreement between all parties, as well as full disclosure of information. The parties, attorneys and other collaborative law professionals, if necessary, work together to achieve what is best for both parties and the family to resolve all issues without contentious court proceedings. This less adversarial approach benefits the entire family during the difficult and challenging time of separations and divorces. After law school, Jerry served as an Assistant Prosecutor in Somerset County before entering private practice and concentrating on family law matters. He is a frequent speaker and author on a wide variety of family law topics. He has also served as a family law instructor for Fairleigh Dickinson University's paralegal studies division. |
