The Montanari Law Group, LLC announces that its founder and owner, Michael J. Montanari, has been selected to the 2026 New Jersey Super Lawyers list, marking his fourth consecutive year of inclusion since 2023. Based in Little Falls, New Jersey, the legal practice serves clients throughout the state, including Passaic and Bergen Counties. Montanari has practiced law since 2000, with experience in family law, personal injury, and criminal defense. His professional background includes litigation and service as a municipal public defender, providing context for his individual recognition.
Michael J. Montanari, founder and owner of The Montanari Law Group, LLC returns to the New Jersey Super Lawyers list in 2026, continuing a distinction he has held since his first selection in 2023. Montanari brings more than two decades of legal experience to his work in family law, personal injury, and criminal defense. His Little Falls practice represents clients throughout New Jersey, including Passaic and Bergen Counties.
Published by Thomson Reuters, Super Lawyers uses a multiphase selection process involving attorney nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations. Candidates are assessed using professional indicators before the annual lists are finalized. The recognition identifies Montanari individually rather than The Montanari Law Group, LLC. No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Montanari's legal career began well before his first Super Lawyers selection. Admitted to the New Jersey bar in 2000 after earning his law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law, he developed experience in litigation and municipal court proceedings, including service as a municipal public defender. His background spans cases involving family disputes, civil injury claims, and criminal allegations, each requiring different legal procedures and evidentiary considerations.
The distinctions between these practice areas carry significant consequences. Divorce and custody proceedings can determine parental responsibilities and financial obligations. Personal injury claims involve questions of liability, medical evidence, and recoverable losses, while criminal cases can affect an individual's liberty and legal record. Montanari's practice addresses these matters according to the circumstances and legal requirements of each case.
Through the Montanari Law Group website, prospective clients can explore the firm's established legal services and attorney background. From his Little Falls office, Montanari represents individuals and families throughout New Jersey, including Passaic and Bergen Counties. His latest Super Lawyers selection continues a record of individual professional recognition without signaling changes to the firm's services or operations.
The Legal Career Behind Michael J. Montanari's Four-Year Super Lawyers Selection
Montanari's professional background includes courtroom responsibilities extending beyond private representation. As a municipal public defender, he represented individuals facing proceedings involving criminal charges and municipal violations. Such work requires examination of evidence, procedural protections, and potential penalties, experience that complements his broader litigation practice.
His family law work addresses divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, and related disputes. These proceedings can require courts to resolve disagreements over parental responsibilities, financial arrangements, and marital property. Montanari's attorney profile provides additional information about his professional history and legal practice.
Personal injury representation involves examining the circumstances of an accident, determining potential liability, and documenting resulting losses. Criminal defense requires scrutiny of allegations, prosecution evidence, and the rights of the accused. Across these areas, Montanari handles matters with distinct burdens of proof, legal procedures, and potential outcomes.
His fourth consecutive Super Lawyers selection adds to a professional record established through more than two decades of legal practice. From Little Falls, Montanari continues representing New Jersey clients confronting family disputes, injury claims, and criminal proceedings.
