When you are faced with a criminal charge or a family law issue, you need a compassionate and experienced legal team by your side to get you the results you deserve. Jean Baptiste & Associates will guide you through the legal process with confidence and care.
I have been running my own firm for over 10 years now, making me an attorney who can approach each case with a level of knowledge and experience that is unmatched. I earned my J.D. from New York University Law School and have since focused on seeking justice for clients by defending them with tailor-made strategies. Jean Baptiste & Associates is proud to serve clients in Jersey City, Bridgewater, and Clifton, New Jersey.
Dealing with family law issues can be confusing and emotionally draining. We can help you take the first step in reaching stability.
A common question that clients may have is whether they should file for summary or traditional divorce. A summary divorce, which can also be called a summary dissolution of marriage, is a good choice for couples who have minimal assets, no children, and do not want to involve spousal support in the settlement agreement.
In a traditional divorce, property, assets, and debt, as well as custody of children need to be divided amongst the spouses. An attorney can help you decide which choice is right for you and your family.
In New Jersey, the primary consideration when determining child custody orders is the best interests of the child. If you are seeking joint custody, then your ability to agree, communicate, and cooperate with your spouse in regard to your child will be examined.
The court will take into account many other factors as well. Our experienced legal team can advocate for the best child custody arrangement for both you and your child.
The courts of New Jersey calculate child support based on a formula that includes each parent’s income, daycare expenses, medical insurance costs, social security benefits, living arrangements of the child, and any other relevant factors.
Having a legal team in your corner that will advocate for you and get you the best possible child support arrangement can make all the difference while you navigate this legal process.
The answer is yes. If you would like to modify your child support order, you can ask to schedule a modification conference as long as circumstances have changed to warrant an update of the child support order you previously agreed upon.
A change in circumstances refers to a permanent, substantial, and unanticipated life change. Otherwise, your support order will be automatically reviewed every three years by a judge.
Our dedicated team of attorneys will tackle your case with a hands-on approach. We listen to what you want to achieve through the legal process and we work with you every step of the way to ensure that your needs are being met.
Facing a criminal charge or navigating a family law issue can be incredibly difficult. We understand that. As your legal team, we will always be available to answer any questions or ease any concerns you may have along the way.

At Jean Baptiste & Associates, we understand that one mistake is not representative of who you are, nor should it define your life. That’s why we offer a comprehensive and dedicated criminal defense to every client who needs help putting their legal situation behind them so they can seek a brighter future.

Receiving a traffic ticket in Clifton is only slightly less annoying than getting one elsewhere, and only because Clifton is such a nice place to live and visit. We all make mistakes, and sometimes they happen while we’re driving and are witnessed by a police officer.
