Meet Michael S. Green
Michael S. Green, Esq. is the founding attorney of Michael S. Green Law, LLC (formerly Green & Associates), bringing 18+ years of trial experience to family law and divorce litigation across New Jersey. He focuses on high-stakes divorce, complex custody matters, and post-judgment modifications — protecting clients' parental rights and financial futures with a track record spanning hundreds of cases. Michael combines strategic negotiation with assertive courtroom advocacy, prioritizing amicable resolution while remaining fully prepared to fight when adversarial situations demand it.
Practice Areas
Divorce: Uncontested and no-fault divorce, collaborative divorce, and divorce mediation
Custody & Parental Rights: Visitation schedules, Fathers' Rights, grandparent rights, and relocation disputes
Financial & Support Matters: Child support and alimony, college tuition allocation, post-judgment modifications, prenuptial and separation agreements
Complex Matters: International family law under the Hague Convention, palimony, annulments, and name changes
Approach
Michael works closely with each client to build a strategy suited to their goals — whether that's a negotiated settlement or a courtroom fight. He keeps clients informed at every stage and is accessible nights and weekends, so urgent questions about visitation, support, or filings don't have to wait for business hours.
Every case is prepared as if it will go to trial, which often prompts opposing sides toward favorable settlements. That preparation is paired with early, proactive review of financial disclosures and parenting arrangements to flag issues and opportunities before they become disputes.
Complex Litigation Background
Beyond family law, Michael has served as lead counsel in nationwide class action litigation, including cases against corporate defendants such as Toshiba, AT&T, Panasonic, Symantec, Best Buy, Fujifilm, Hewlett-Packard, and Sony, generating multi-million-dollar consumer settlements. In one such matter, a New Jersey court found adequacy of representation and noted his team's "superior work" and "well qualified, experienced, collegial, and vigorous" courtroom presence. Michael has appeared on NBC News, Fox News, and ABC News, and has been quoted in the Star-Ledger. This corporate litigation background gives him a strong edge in analyzing high-net-worth marital estates, business valuations, and hidden assets in divorce cases.
