Transcript of Hearing involving the Division of Youth and Family Services vs. Defendant
/ Mother of 4 children removed from her custody by DYFS.
(names and dates omitted due to confidential nature of proceedings)
I've commended you in the course of the litigation several times
Superior Court Judge stated on the record about Jose I. Bastarrika “I've commended
you in the course of the litigation several times. I think your client owes you
a great debt of gratitude by the manner in which you handled the case which brings
her to where she is today, which is the prompt return of her children and seemingly
the resolution of the issues which have plagued her for most of her adult life.
So I congratulate you, I think you did a fine job for your client. I wish she was
here to hear me say that, but I said before and I mean it with respect your performance,
not only in this case but that's what I see from you all of the time. I want you
to know I recognize it, and I appreciate.”
A Long Time Client
Mr. Bastarrika will be my attorney for life. “Mr.
Bastarrika has been my family attorney for over 10 years. He has been by my side
during some of the most difficult times of my life. I have survived divorce, domestic
violence allegations, custody cases, complicated child support issues and a number
of other legal dilemmas. He has always been the consummate professional. He was
a zealous advocate on my behalf and fought for me when no one else would. When my
financial circumstances deteriorated, he agreed to set up a comfortable payment
plan and stayed by my side. Mr. Bastarrika will be my attorney for life.”
A post judgment divorce matter
I have recommended his services to friends and family members
I retained Mr. Bastarrika to represent me in a post judgment divorce matter. My
prior attorney did not resolve the equitable distribution issues of our case and
four years later my ex husband tried to take my home and leave my children and I
on the street. Mr. Bastarrika was reassuring throughout the process and gave me
confidence that I would not lose my home. Mr. Bastarrika accomplished all of our
goals and I was able to keep my home. I have recommended his services to friends
and family members on a number of occasions and he has always delivered.
