Our Careers
We are a small firm centered on family law located in Bergen County. We are devoted to producing the highest caliber of legal representation and are guided by an uncompromising commitment to our clients.
We believe family law is an area of law that should not be guided by the stereotypical “I’ll fight for you” strategy. If this is your approach, then this is not the law firm for you.
In Family Law, there are rarely any winners. Divorce, especially when children are involved, can be a life altering and overwhelming situation. We believe it is our duty to navigate our clients through the legal system while managing and setting expectations. We believe in strongly advocating for our clients’ rights and their best interests while fully understanding that the decisions made today have long-term effects on the new family dynamic.
The same dedication we have to our clients, we share with our employees, and we encourage a fun yet professional work environment. We are supportive of the work/life balance and want to be a part of every employee’s professional growth.

"Knights in shining armor"When I began the divorce process, I first called a collaborative divorce lawyer. But she referred me to Sherwood, Johnson & Poles. They came through for me like knights in shining armor. Throughout my complicated, contentious divorce, they guided me, always putting my and my kids' best interests first. They were transparent, looked several steps ahead, and advised me well. I'm extremely happy with the outcome of my case and highly recommend their firm.- Sandy Deane

"You are a blessing"Mr. Matthew Dourdis has been a lifesaver as my lawyer throughout my process. I can never thank him enough for everything he has done for me and what he continues to do. He has continuously fought at my side to help clear my name as it would be tarnished without him. Sincerely, thank you so very much. You are a blessing.- Jacob K.
