For years, Tanya L. Freeman has been building a reputation throughout northern New Jersey as the area’s “go-to” family law practice. Her philosophy, process and commitment are focused on using strategies, experience and understanding to help you move forward with confidence.
I practice family law so I can support people through some of the most challenging transitions of their lives. I can help you with legal representation in all aspects of family law, including divorce, child and spousal support, child custody, interstate custody and relocation disputes, as well as domestic violence matters. As the Managing Partner of the Family Law Practice Group at Callagy Law, I work with a team of passionate negotiators and experienced litigators who advocate tirelessly for our clients. Whatever issue you are facing, you deserve to have my experienced team by your side.
After fifteen years in the banking and insurance industries, I entered the family law field knowing I could make a significant contribution to individuals and their families with my unique combination of financial, legal, and negotiation skills. I am proud of what my team and I have been able to achieve, becoming one of the most compassionate and innovative family law practices in New Jersey.
I graduated cum laude from Touro College, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center and was awarded my undergraduate degree cum laude from Caldwell University.
As much as possible, I give back to my professional and personal communities. I have lectured on a variety of legal issues including, custody, child support, and relocation law to fellow attorneys on behalf of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Institution for Continuing Legal Education. In October 2018, I was appointed by the Governor to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors for University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey. University hospital is a level one trauma center and the state’s only public acute care hospital.
My community involvement also includes volunteering as a Panelist for the Superior Court, Essex County, Early Settlement Panel and serving as a member of the Family Law Executive Committee for the New Jersey State Bar Association where I Co-Chair the DEI Committee.
Appointed by the New Jersey Supreme Court in 2022, I am currently serving a five-year term on the District VB Ethics Committee. In addition to these committees, I am very proud to serve as a Fellow of the American Bar Association and be part of a global honorary society of attorneys, judges, law faculty, and legal scholars whose public and private careers have demonstrated outstanding dedication to the highest principles of the legal profession and to the welfare of their communities. Membership in the Fellows is limited to one percent of lawyers licensed to practice in each jurisdiction, so I am among an inspiring group of leaders in my field.
In 2021 the Essex County Bar Association named me “Family Practitioner of the Year.” I also joined the Board of the Independent Colleges and Universities of New Jersey, a non-profit organization focused on building synergies between New Jersey’s independent universities and advocating on behalf of students. I am very proud to be on the Advisory Board for my alma mater, Caldwell University.
If you are facing a family law issue, I am here for you. I will advocate for your needs and find innovative strategies to address your legal concerns. I represent families throughout northern New Jersey, including Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Somerset and Union.
