Laterra & Hodge, Llc

This is the first time I called him and made an appointment for my fiancé Matthew P .Jeff is very knowledgeable . He gave us a good advice. He treated us like his own family. I will 100% recommend him to my family and friends.Thanks for making everyone’s life easy.

Scott is an honest lawyer who is compassionate and has a passion for his job. What can I say other than he is the best of the best! He provides support through difficult times. Both Valentina and Scott are extremely knowledgeable. I have recommended him to several others. He works with you financially too. I switched from another lawyer to Scott and have not regretted my decision. The difference between him and other lawyers is immediately apparent: Scott doesn’t focus on money; he has a good heart. He actually wants to help. What more could you ask? I wish him and his staff success and happiness. Thank you for being supportive through a difficult time where my family and I felt lost. Forever grateful.

Navigating a divorce was a challenging experience to say the least.I was happy to choose Lattera & Hodge to handle my brother’s case. If you’re looking for a combination of Knowledge,Compassion and Integrity, I highly recommend Jeffrey Hodge.He was very supportive and had guided us step by step.I also wanted to thank Valentina, Jeffrey’s secretary who is very professional and patience.I appreciate all your hard work and not giving up on us.

Recently I got a restraining order against my husband. I felt so lost and unsecured! I’ve been living in the country for 6 years only, 2 little kids, no family here, no support, language problems. I was looking for a consultation about my rights and next steps to do.. I googled for an attorney and found the Laterra & Hodge, LLC. They offered me a free one hour consultation. I met Jeffrey B. Hodge. He answered all my questions, gave me very helpful information about what was the best to do in my situation and some other good advices. I can’t find words to describe that sense of secure I felt talking to him more like to a friend then like a lawyer. He’s absolutely amazing: very knowledgeable, honest, reliable and truthful. I decided to work with him. And it was one of the best choices in my life! He represented me in the court for TRO and did amazing job with signing up the agreement. Now he’s working on my divorce and I’m 10000% sure it will end up the best way for me. Highly recommend!

Scott Laterra and Jeff Hodge did an outstanding job of representing me in my divorce proceedings and most notably, during post-divorce proceedings. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, very direct and, most important, responsive. His scope of knowledge of NJ family law is very broad. He provided me with the road map on how to best navigate through a very complex process and how to do it in the most cost efficient manner. When entering each phase of the proceedings, Scott and Jeff instinctively knew what options were available and the potential outcomes of each scenario. Scott and his staff kept me informed of what the timeline would be throughout the proceedings and how to best prepare for each court appearance. Where I felt Scott truly excelled was during negotiations with the other side. I didn’t get everything I wanted, but I didn’t lose as much as I thought I would. Scott and Jeff have great insight of the family law attorneys and, most importantly, the Family Court itself in Bergen County. They’re men of their word and very trustworthy. Not once did I feel like "just another client" with Scott and Jeff. They were very responsive to my questions and would always get back to me in a reasonable amount of time. He gave my divorce case the attention that it needed in order for me to get closure. They follow through completely on what they say they will do. I'm a very happy and grateful client of Laterra & Hodge. Moving forward should anyone I know need legal representation in Family Court, rest assured that Scott and Jeff will be the lawyers referred by me.
