Counsel to the firm


Anne Marie Bramnick is a former family court judge of Superior Court for New Jersey and former prosecutor, is a passionate and fierce advocate for families assistance in the legal system. She specializes in all legal matters involving domestic violence, custodial issues, parenting time, and divorce, especially when an imbalance of power or other forms of abuse are present.


Anne Marie brings her non-profit and volunteer background to her legal practice to give families a unique perspective coupled with her delicate handling of family law matters that also involve dynamics of substance abuse, narcissistic abuse, and emotional and financial control. As a co-founder of the Family Justice Center in Union County as well as a current board member for Monmouth Medical Center Hospital and other community organizations serving families in this State, the entire health and safety of the family she is working with through the legal system is a top priority to her in each case.
