Simon Law Group handles family law, estate planning, probate, personal injury, civil litigation, business, real estate, bankruptcy, foreclosure, workers' compensation, SSDI, and appellate matters in Cumberland County.
Cumberland County practice scope
Cumberland County matters are not all the same just because they share a county name. The useful local question is usually venue, court process, office access, records, travel, local property or employment patterns, and which Simon Law Group practice group should evaluate the issue first.
This page is the general Cumberland County service hub. The county-specific divorce page remains available for Family Part details, but Simon Law Group's local work is broader than divorce. We handle family law, estate planning, probate, personal injury, civil litigation, business litigation, legal malpractice, real estate, bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, workers' compensation, SSDI, appeals, criminal defense, DUI/DWI, expungement matters in this county.

Cumberland County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Manufacturing employees, farm and land operators, truck drivers, small-business principals, and households with machinery, inventory, or rural property.
What to sort out
Land, machinery, inventory, production pay, and driving records may sit with different people or entities and need to be separated before the legal issue can be routed.
Court and agency routing
This Cumberland County page is a routing aid for organizing intake facts and does not determine the filing forum. Court divisions, Surrogate processing, and agency paths depend on the matter, and the Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage directory is the official court-location source.
Official court source: NJ Courts Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- Identify whether the person is a production worker, driver, farm operator, landowner, party to a land lease, equipment owner, business principal, or beneficiary and which entity holds each asset.
- Group timecards, driver logs, land and lease records, machinery titles, inventory reports, invoices, and insurance materials by operation or owner.
- Record whether the immediate route may be Family Part, Civil Part, probate or Surrogate processing, a workplace or benefits agency, or another path for attorney evaluation.
Official local evidence: Manufacturing represented 16.4% of Cumberland County private employment in 2024, compared with 6.9% statewide, the report’s largest positive county-to-state employment-share difference. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
Prepare for intake: Bring wage and driver records, deeds or leases, equipment titles, inventory and invoice records, insurance papers, and current court or agency documents to an intake evaluation.

Cumberland County questions we are asked
Where are Cumberland County divorce and family law cases heard?
Cumberland County divorce, custody, and support cases are heard in the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part. The NJ Courts family offices directory places the Cumberland County Family Division at the Cumberland County Courthouse, 60 West Broad Street in Bridgeton, the same building and address the vicinage page publishes. One Superior Court vicinage covers Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties together, so certain services are administered vicinage-wide. Which county a divorce is filed in is set by court rule, not by where either spouse lives today, so a recent move can change the answer. Confirm venue with a lawyer before filing.
Where is a will probated in Cumberland County?
A Cumberland County estate is opened with the Cumberland County Surrogate's Office at 60 West Broad Street, Suite A111, Bridgeton, NJ 08302, and that West Broad Street address is the same one the vicinage directory lists for the Cumberland County Courthouse. Probate of wills, estate administration (appointment of executors and administrators), and applications for letters of guardianship of a minor are filed with the County Surrogate's Office; an adult guardianship case is filed there and heard in Superior Court. Which county's Surrogate opens the estate is set by where the decedent was domiciled at death, and where domicile is unclear that is a question for counsel.
Which courts and offices serve Cumberland County?
Court business for Cumberland County centers on Bridgeton, where the vicinage directory lists the Cumberland County Courthouse, while courthouses in Woodbury and Salem serve the other two counties of the shared vicinage. On its own site the county additionally lists a Vineland Surrogate office at 2745 S Delsea Drive that it marks "BY APPOINTMENT ONLY". With one vicinage spanning three counties, the paperwork issued in a specific case, not the county name alone, states where an event takes place.
Where in Cumberland County does Simon Law Group take matters?
Cumberland County families and businesses reach the firm through its Somerville office, the location Simon Law Group lists as nearest for this county, with matters taken from Bridgeton, Vineland, and Millville as well as rural municipalities such as Maurice River, Commercial Township, Deerfield, Fairfield, and Upper Deerfield. County-specific Family Part detail lives on the firm's Cumberland County divorce page.
What does Simon Law Group handle for Cumberland County clients?
Cumberland County engagements span the practice areas the firm handles, including family law, estate planning, probate, personal injury, civil and business litigation, real estate, bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, workers' compensation, Social Security Disability, criminal defense and DUI matters, and appeals. Farms, nurseries, and food-processing operations shape many files here: harvest and packing records, cold-storage logs, equipment titles, and farmland leases usually stay with the business rather than the household, so a Cumberland County estate, injury, or workers' compensation question often starts by identifying which entity keeps each record.
