In a time of great change, a new law firm consisting of familiar faces has formed.
Lepp, Mayrides & Eaton, LLC, is a new boutique divorce and family law firm that is now officially open for business. Partners Heidi Lepp, Esq., Mark Mayrides, Esq., and Sarah Eaton, Esq., have teamed up to create the firm Lepp, Mayrides, and Eaton, LLC. The newly created partnership will provide a full range of divorce, family law, and mediation services throughout Central New Jersey and will be headquartered in Somerville, Somerset County. 
Partners Heidi Lepp, Esq., and Mark Mayrides, Esq., are former Presidents of the Somerset County Bar Association, and partner Sarah Eaton, Esq., currently serves as a co-chair of the Somerset County Bar Association, Young Lawyer’s Committee, and as an Attorney Member of the District XIII Ethics Committee. All three partners are trained divorce mediators, and the majority of the firm’s practice will consist of litigating important divorce and family law matters such as contested custody, alimony, domestic violence hearings, child support, and the equitable distribution of marital assets. The firm will also assist clients in the negotiation of prenuptial agreements.
Along with a staff of experienced and trained paraprofessionals, Jane Altman, Esq., will join the firm “of counsel” with decades of experience. Heidi Lepp, Esq., and Sarah Eaton, Esq., were formerly partners with the firm of Shimalla, Wechsler, Lepp, and D’Onofrio, LLP, with an office in Warren, Somerset County, and Mark Mayrides, Esq., and Jane Altman, Esq., were formerly partners with the firm Altman, Legband & Mayrides, PC, with offices in Skillman and Basking Ridge, Somerset County.
“The foundation of this new firm and our partnership is a mutual respect forged over many years,” says Mark Mayrides, Esq., “I had many cases against Heidi Lepp and Sarah Eaton, and I got to experience first-hand their tenaciousness and talent, both in the courtroom and during complex negotiations. By working together on bar association events, I also got to know each of them personally, and to see what honest and committed people they are outside the courtroom.”
“Mark Mayrides, Esq., and Jane Altman, Esq., have been fixtures in the local community for decades,” says Heidi Lepp, Esq., and I’m excited to finally have the opportunity to work with Mark, as opposed to against him in the courtroom.”
“It’s an incredible opportunity,” adds Sarah Eaton, Esq., “in this time of great change to be able to offer a new firm, one that will place clients and their issues first, will give back to the local community, and will allow each of our attorneys and staff to continue serving Somerset County and adjacent counties with our high quality, honest, and passionate legal services.”
The partners each agree that the timing for a new endeavor is challenging. “To start anything new during these unprecedented times is interesting, to say the least,” says Mark Mayrides, Esq., “but we believe it’s more important than ever that clients are offered a full range of premium services.” The new firm will offer contact-less services and technology consistent with the times, including Zoom consults and meetings.
“Divorce and family law issues are invariably difficult and too-often fueled by emotion,” says Heidi Lepp, Esq., “That’s one constant I’ve witnessed over my nearly thirty years in practice. Now with the pandemic, it’s even more important that clients are provided with passionate and sophisticated legal advice. By teaming up together, we will be able to provide a range of offerings that fully meets the needs of today’s consumer of family law services.”
“We get it,” adds Sarah Eaton, Esq. “We too are parents, and we too are members of the local community. We live here and raise our children here, the same as our clients. Every case is unique, every client is unique, every child is unique, and now because of the pandemic, it seems that every day is unique. It’s our mission and our goal to take our years of collective experience to help clients navigate the turbulent waters of these times. I’m excited for us and I’m excited for our clients.”
Lepp, Mayrides & Eaton, LLC, focuses on divorce and family law cases, domestic violence cases, divorce and family law mediation, and prenuptial agreements. Lepp, Mayrides & Eaton, LLC is located at 92 East Main Street, Suite 206, Somerville, New Jersey 08876. You can contact LM&E at 908-800-7676.
