Ocean County, New Jersey, Attorneys

At Purrazzella & Purrazzella, we strive to help families address the serious legal issues that they face, including issues such as:

Social Security Disability Insurance Claims

Attorney Joseph Purrazzella has devoted the past 30 years to helping thousands of people apply for Social Security Disability benefits in New Jersey. Mr. Purrazzella can help you get benefits even if you were initially turned down by the Social Security Administration.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits

SSI is a federal program designed to help people who are aged, blind, or disabled and have little or no income. It is different from Social Security Disability in that you can quality for benefits even if you have not worked long enough at a covered job to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits.

Veterans' Compensation Claims

If you are a United States armed services veteran who is suffering from an illness, disease, or condition that is connected to your service, the law now allows you the help of an experienced attorney as you seek disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Bankruptcy

The most common types of personal bankruptcy are Chapter 7, often called straight bankruptcy, and Chapter 13, which provides a repayment plan for wage earners. Both types can immediately stop mortgage foreclosures and get rid of credit card debt. We can help you determine if bankruptcy is right for you.

Real Estate

Our real estate lawyers review and negotiate real estate purchase contracts, handle mortgage foreclosure issues, conduct title searches, obtain title insurance, resolve title issues, and provide real estate closing services for people buying and selling residential property in Ocean and Monmouth counties.

Divorce and Family Law

Divorce lawyer Sally Purrazzella has significant experience in helping families resolve complex marriage dissolution and divorce issues, such as alimony, property distribution, child custody and visitation, and child support.

Child Custody, Visitation, and Support

At Purrazzella & Purrazzella, our attorneys' goal is to help you get the custody and visitation time you need, while keeping the negative impact on your children to a minimum. We will consult with medical and family specialists in order to help you build a strong case.

Property Settlement

An "equitable" distribution in a divorce does not always end up being a 50-50 split. We can help you determine your need and explain how a judge might decide on a different percentage, based on the length of your marriage, each spouse's future earning power, and other factors.

Wills and Probate

Estate planning documents such as trusts, living wills, and powers of attorney can help your family avoid a traumatic experience if you become incapacitated. Our lawyers help draft and review all documents, as well as assist people who have been named executors in their family members' wills.

DWI, Traffic Violations, and Municipal Court

Before you plead guilty to any criminal offense, talk with an experienced criminal defense lawyer about how it might affect your commercial driver's license (CDL), student loans, career opportunities, and eligibility for loans.
