Pickus & Aronson is a law firm with an office in Spotswood, NJ. At this office location, there are 3 lawyers practicing real estate, family law, divorce and 6 other areas of law.
⸻ I had a terrible experience with Evan Picus. He drafted the wills for me and my late wife and helped with the deed to our home, which was titled tenancy in common. After she passed, I went to him for help. Instead of giving proper legal guidance, he told me to “just wait for probate” and ignored my ownership rights and spousal elective share. When I tried to sell my 50% share of the house, he called and warned me I could “get in trouble” — even though I had every legal right. I later found out he was communicating with my stepdaughter’s lawyer, even though he had helped me. Most recently, I emailed him again, and he dismissed me coldly, claiming, “We prepared a will. Nothing further.” That’s not true — he gave advice, knew the full situation, and refused to help unless paid. His lack of responsibility and compassion caused me serious financial and emotional harm. I would never recommend him for probate, real estate, or estate matters
My experience with Evan Pickus at Pickus and Landsberg was extremely disappointing. Evan prepared a heavily one-sided, unethical lease addendum that ultimately prevented a fair agreement and led to the collapse of the lease deal altogether. Due to this poorly conceived addendum, the owner never leased the property to anyone and instead ended up selling the house. As a result, I ended up stuck in a home riddled with issues and unnecessary anxiety. As an attorney, Evan Pickus had an ethical responsibility to advise his client appropriately and ensure fairness. Instead of pushing through an unfair addendum, he should have guided his client to make ethical decisions rather than prioritizing profit at any cost. When I raised these legitimate concerns, Mr. Pickus responded with passive-aggressive insults, labeling me a "keyboard warrior" and offering condescending justifications rather than accountability. His dismissive attitude and personal attacks were unprofessional and uncalled for.
