  • Christopher L. Garibian
  • Robyn Howlett
  • Carmela L. Novi
  • Rachel E. Partyka
  • David Salvaggio
  • Salvatore A. Simeone
  • Bari Z. Weinberger (Founder)
  • Gina-Marie Izzo

Joining them as 2025 SuperLawyers® Rising Stars are Sara B. Cohen, Michael P. McGuire, and Hillary Piedra—talented attorneys under 40 or with 10 years or less of practice, already making impact for their clients and in the legal community.

For founders like Bari Weinberger, a Certified Matrimonial Law attorney (one of less than 0.5% of attorneys in the state able to call themselves divorce experts) with over a decade of SuperLawyers® status, this recognition is deeply personal.
“Receiving the Super Lawyers honor is especially meaningful to us because it acknowledges our dedication and commitment to providing clients with the highest level of legal care in New Jersey,” she shared. “We are truly honored by this accolade.”
