Biography
Jason C. Tuchman is a Member of the firm who specializes in assisting families with divorce and family law matters. He prides himself on his high efficacy rate as well as helping his clients through the divorce process with dignity and minimal cost, all while preserving their rights and protecting the interests of their children.
His experience in the field of family law runs the gamut of practice areas, including preparing and negotiating prenuptial, postnuptial and separation agreements, resolving custody and parenting time issues, analyzing equitable distribution and the division of marital assets and liabilities, including complex valuation issues, and addressing necessary spousal and child support issues for his clients.
Mr. Tuchman is Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, a certification achieved by only 2% of attorneys in New Jersey. He is a court-qualified family law mediator and he is specially trained as a collaborative divorce attorney. He is also a trained Parenting Coordinator with experience in dealing with divorce and high-conflict parenting situations. He also volunteers his time as a panel chair for the Matrimonial Early Settlement Program in Passaic County and in Bergen County.
Mr. Tuchman received a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating based on his exemplary work in the field of Family Law, Mediation, Child Custody and Child Support. He was given an “AV Preeminent®” rating from his peers, which means that he is deemed to have very high professional ethics and legal ability in the field of New Jersey Family Law. Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability receive this Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating.
Mr. Tuchman is also a Legal Trainer for the Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) Program, a highly involved participatory training that is divided into two sections — the first of which consists of a specialized communication skills training, with the focus on integrating those skills in a client/session environment, and the second of which provides specific information regarding the Legal, Financial, Mental Health, and Real Estate fields, that are essential to the divorce process.
