About

Tom Sidoti is a tenacious advocate and an expert counselor.  Widely considered one of New Jersey’s rising star litigators, Tom is a distinguished trial attorney whose instincts in the courtroom are hard to match, as is his passion for helping people navigate through challenging times.Extremely proud of his “Jersey roots”, Tom earned his law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law and his Bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University.  After law school, Tom had the opportunity to serve as law clerk to the Honorable Kenneth J. Slomienski, J.S.C., in the Family Division of Bergen County Superior Court.  His experience working closely with the Judge afforded him a unique perspective from behind the bench as well as invaluable insights in to how the court system works and how judges make decisions.Since entering private practice, Tom has focused on Family and Matrimonial Law, ably resolving complex divorce matters and highly contentious custody disputes.  He has a no-nonsense and practical style that is respected by both judges and opposing counsel, yet also thinks outside-the-box to find creative solutions to his clients’ problems.  Tom has experience guiding high-net-worth individuals through the divorce process and dealing with complicated asset division issues as well as alimony and child support issues.  He has had success trying cases to conclusion, winning favorable custody, alimony, and child support terms for his clients, as well as significant counsel fee awards.  Tom is also an experienced appellate lawyer; most recently, his successful arguments reversed an adverse trial court decision regarding emancipation and termination of child support inKiely v. Kiely, N.J. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 2784 (App. Div. 2013).  Tom’s work has earned him recognition from his peers, including being named in 2015 by the American Society of Legal Advocates as on of New Jersey’s Top 40 under 40 Family Lawyers.Beyond Family Law, as a seasoned litigator Tom also has experience defending individuals in criminal cases, winning rights for immigrants before the USCIS and in Immigration Court, as well as in civil litigation matters.In addition to his professional accomplishments, Tom is a member of the Justice Virginia Long Family Law Inn of Court, an active member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Hudson County Bar Association Family Law Committee, and the Bergen County Bar Association.  He also serves on the Hudson County Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel.  Tom has traveled extensively in Europe (where he also studied in Italy) and South America, achieving fluency in Italian and proficiency in Spanish.Tom understands that dealing with a legal issue can be an extremely trying time in your life from both an emotional and financial standpoint.  He treats all clients with dignity, respect, and professionalism, and provides prescient and objective advice while zealously and ethically advocating for their interests.

I contacted Tom Sidoti during the most stressful time of my life. He was so understanding and did everything to help my family. He goes above and beyond words can explain during the whole divorce process: from the very beginning to end. He gives the best legal advice. Truly works from his heart and cares wholeheartedly about his clients. Changed my life around 100%. Happy 2021 for me! :)

After being divorced for four years and following the legal custody agreement, my ex wife violated the agreement and created a nightmare custody issue. I was informed to contact Tom Sidoti to handle the case based on his knowledge and skills regarding these matters. I cannot express in all sincerity Tom's dedication to detail, and to ensure complete confidence along the way. Custody cases can get ugly, and Tom took on this challenge with one priority, to see me reunited with my son. In the end Mr. Sidoti accomplished just that, and won my case for me through the Superior Court of NJ. I am extremely grateful for having my son enter my life again. This is truly a sincere review from a Dad that needs to say... Thank you Mr. Sidoti

Tom made the uncertainty of a divorce and custody issues about as calm and easy as possible. He is well informed of all facets of divorce law and supports you in the decisions that you feel comfortable making. He is quick to respond to questions and makes himself readily available to talk and provide information. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer.

Needless to say how stressful and unpredictable divorces can be, and yet I went through mine as quickly as one can and at the end of it all, I was in a much better shape that I would have ever dreamed of. I cannot stress enough how professional and genuinely involved Tom seemed to be. Add to this his confidence, calm and simply general peace that his attitude was emanating. It was sincerely refreshing. Every time I would get restless I would pick up the phone and call him and he would honestly spent 30 min explaining everything in as much detail as possible to put my mind at ease. The day me and my ex settled on dividing the assets and agreed on the terms for taking care of our kid, was a tough experience. Were negotiating back and forth for 6 hours. My ex would not budge on anything. With little steps we finally met in the middle and that was mostly due to how patiently Tom pushed the boundaries to get me as close as possible to what I needed and felt comfortable with. Now if that is not a good lawyer, I do not know what it is.

When I first sought Mr Sidoti's legal help I wasn't sure what options I had or what the legal process would look like for divorce and custody, all I knew was that I had to get myself and my children out of an unsafe environment. Tom took my case very seriously and helped me execute a plan that I was comfortable with. Safety was my number one concern, so I thank him first and foremost for assisting me and my children in a very difficult and stressful time. Secondly, the divorce and custody process a very emotional and trying experience, however Tom made it manageable and as painless as possible. He was approachable for any and all concerns I had along the way, as well as upfront and reasonable when answering any questions/ concerns. I appreciate how professional and knowledgeable he was throughout the process and those qualities were reflected in every phone call, every email, and every court appearance. Im proud to have had Tom fighting in my corner and should I need legal assistance in the future he will be my first phone call. I highly recommend Mr Sidoti for anyone seeking an attorney in family law.

My experience with Mr. Sidoti was wonderful given the circumstances (divorce/complex custody issues). Mr. Sidoti provided thoughtful and out-of-the-box suggestions to help resolve some of our most complex issues. His suggestions confirmed that he wasn’t just giving “legal advice” but advice that was in the best interest of our children from the standpoint of the present and THEIR future – which is what will be remnant in the years to come when the divorce has long been settled. Mr. Sidoti was very fair, practical and went above and beyond to follow-up to ensure that all bases were covered. He always made me feel as if he genuinely cared and had our best interest at heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Sidoti. Client
