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 Warren County.
Warren County practice scope
Warren 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 Warren 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.

How to use this county hub
Divorce, custody, support, or domestic violence
Use the Warren County divorce page for Family Part venue, local process, and county-specific family-law concerns.

Start with estate planning or probate, then choose the trust, Surrogate, Medicaid/LTSS, or tax topic that fits your question.
Accident, premises, PIP, insurance, or damages
Start with personal injury, the car accident/PIP page, or the damages guide depending on whether the immediate issue is coverage, proof, or valuation.

Warren County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Retail and manufacturing workers, wholesalers, farm and family-business principals, and households with inventory, equipment, receivable, or land records.
What to sort out
Family-business inventory, machinery, accounts receivable, wholesale transactions, and rural land may be titled or recorded across people, entities, lenders, and customers. Production-line quality logs, shift-handoff binders, and hay or livestock sale slips usually stay at the facility or the farm, so ask early who keeps the originals and how long they are retained.
Court and agency routing
This Warren County page is a routing aid for preparing an intake and does not choose a court division. Family, civil, criminal, probate, business, property, and agency routes depend on the matter, and the Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Vicinage directory provides official court locations.
Official court source: NJ Courts Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- Record whether the person is an employee, manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, farm operator, family-business principal, landowner, creditor, beneficiary, or fiduciary and list each entity.
- Separate payroll and production records, inventory reports, equipment titles, invoices, receivable ledgers, purchase orders, deeds, leases, and loan documents by owner or operation.
- Note whether the immediate path may be Family Part, Civil Part, probate or Surrogate processing, a business or agriculture agency, municipal court, or another forum for attorney review.
Official local evidence: Manufacturing accounted for 11.6% of Warren County private employment in 2024, compared with 6.9% statewide, according to the NJDOL county report. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
Prepare for intake: Bring payroll and production records, inventory and equipment documents, invoices and receivable ledgers, land and loan papers, and any current court or agency materials to an intake evaluation.

Warren County questions we are asked
Where are Warren County court matters heard?
Warren County shares a Superior Court vicinage with Somerset and Hunterdon counties, and the NJ Courts vicinage directory at njcourts.gov lists the Warren County Courthouse at 413 Second Street in Belvidere as the county facility. Which division handles a matter, and therefore which schedule it follows, depends on the subject of the case rather than the county alone. 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 does probate begin for a Warren County estate?
Probate for a Warren County estate opens at the Warren County Surrogate's Office at 323 Front Street, Belvidere, NJ 07823. 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. A Belvidere note: the Surrogate on Front Street and the trial courts on Second Street are different addresses in the same small town.
How does Pennsylvania property affect a Warren County estate?
An estate holding a Pennsylvania parcel may need a step taken under Pennsylvania law and with Pennsylvania counsel alongside the New Jersey administration, and that comes up for Warren County families along the Delaware River near Phillipsburg. Planning the two tracks together rather than discovering the question late is the practical point.
What records matter in Warren County business and farm matters?
Production-line quality logs, shift-handoff binders, and hay or livestock sale slips usually stay at the facility or the farm rather than in a household file, and inventory, machinery, receivables, and rural land may be titled across several people, entities, and lenders. Asking early who keeps the originals and how long they are retained often determines what a Warren County divorce, estate, or business matter can actually prove.
Which office handles Warren County matters?
The Flemington and Somerville offices support Warren County work across 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, with Flemington listed as the nearby office for the county.
