Tremain Stanley has been named as a chair of the Family Law Group at Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi, the firm announced Wednesday.
Stanley will work with her fellow chair, Susan Reach Winters, in the leadership of the practice group.
Stanley is a seasoned litigator and mediator with more than 20 years of experience handling family and matrimonial disputes, including divorce, child support and custody, alimony and domestic violence.
Winters welcomed her appointment.
“Tremain and I have worked together for many years, and, from the beginning, I have been in awe of her leadership strengths and her aptitude as a lawyer in the arena of family law,” she said. “Throughout her career, Tremain has continually earned the respect of her colleagues, adversaries and judges, and demonstrated her ability to meet the challenges ahead of her. She’s a superstar.”
Stanley said she is eager to take on the expanded role.
“I have been a part of Susan’s team for more than 20 years, and I am honored to continue collaborating with her in this new role to expand opportunities for the group,” she said.
Stanley earned her J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law, where she was co-chair of the Seton Hall Women’s Law Forum. She earned her B.A. in history and French from Ursinus College.
In 2015, Stanley participated in the Supreme Court of New Jersey’s Domestic Violence Pilot Program, which sought to explore the possibility of economic mediation in disputes in which there is a final restraining order.
Winters is the author of “That Will Never Happen to Us,” which provides tips, strategies and other insight into the gamut of financial, emotional and familial considerations that must go into a successful and lasting relationship, and she is a co-author of Thomson West’s “New Jersey Family Law and Practice with Forms, Vols. 10-12,” a three-volume, comprehensive, yet practical, guide to family law statutes and procedures in New Jersey.
Additionally, she co-authored “Domestic Relations — Legal Forms,” which deals with the transactional aspects of family law and contains extensive forms and analysis, including tax analysis, marital settlement agreements, child custody and time sharing, spousal support and prenuptial agreements.
