I met Mr. Anton when my granddaughter absolutely needed a good attorney, and Mr. Anton came recommended to us by a family friend who is also an attorney. The first day I met Mr. Anton I just felt this was the guy for us. Professional, honest and direct. He absolutely put 110% into our case making us feel we were his only clients (of course that wasn't true) but he did. In the end of everything all charges were dismissed. I will forever be in his debt. One hell of an attorney. So if you ever need a competent, honest and work for you lawyer, he is that guy!!!!! Thank you Mr. Anton!

Working with Mr. Anton was the absolute best choice I’ve made for the past 15yrs. Mr. Anton’s knowledge of the law is the cut above the rest. He knows how the system works and is clear to explain it well. I’ve learned a lot by watching and listening to him. I’m honored to call him my attorney and my friend. His professionalism goes above and beyond what is required. He’s a man to be respected and admired. Thank you Mr. Anton for your continued hard work.

I regret to share a troubling experience with Mr. Douglas Anton. I paid him $X,000 during my legal matter—under pressure and distress—after he called and threatened to drop my case unless I came to his office immediately with cash. The payment was made under a verbal and written understanding that the legal fee would be capped at $x,000 and that the majority of the funds would be returned to me. I have a voice recording of this agreement, where Mr. Anton expressly states the purpose was to help me “get my life back in order.” He assured me he would present to the court and opposing counsel that the full $xx,000 was for legal services, while secretly refunding most of it to me behind the scenes. Despite these promises, Mr. Anton never returned the funds or provided any accounting, despite multiple requests. I am now involved in a formal fee arbitration process and have submitted a grievance to the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics with supporting evidence, including communications
