Knowledgeable New Jersey and Pennsylvania DUI Lawyers

Experience You Can Count On

Since 1996, the attorneys at McDowell Riga, A Professional Corporation, Attorneys at Law have provided New Jersey and Pennsylvania residents with experienced legal representation in family law, municipal court and bankruptcy law matters. Contact our law offices if you require representation in these matters.

We have a collective experience of more than 80 years, and we use this to advocate our clients' rights in the following areas:

Family Law
We assist clients who are looking to initiate divorce proceedings, as well as clients who have been served with divorce papers. We handle divorce-related matters, such as:

  • Child custody
  • Child support
  • Alimony/spousal maintenance
  • Parenting time
  • Division of marital assets
  • Post-decree modifications

We have a mediator on our team who can work with family members in order to find agreeable solutions that all parties can live with.

We are also experienced in handling prenuptial agreements, paternity and domestic violence matters.

Municipal Court
We handle municipal court cases for clients charged with minor offenses, including:

  • DUI
  • Reckless driving
  • Disturbing the peace
  • Driving without a license
  • Assault
  • Traffic tickets
  • Speeding tickets

Bankruptcy
We assist clients with significant debts who face foreclosure, lawsuits, repossession and wage garnishment. We help our clients file for the appropriate bankruptcy petition that their situations require, such as:

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: A petition to liquidate assets to pay off debts. Most debts are discharged after liquidation.
  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy: Allows insolvent businesses to stay operational. Businesses eventually pay off creditors using future earnings and other means.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Lets debtors keep certain assets while working to pay off their debts using a repayment plan that lasts from 3-5 years. Some debts that aren't fully paid at the end of the payment period may then be discharged.


Other practice areas

  • Consumer law
  • Wills and estate administration
  • Employment law
  • Real estate law (including real estate tax appeals)
  • Personal injury
  • Business law
