About Paul J.
Paul J. Riviere built his legal foundation at West Virginia University, where he earned a B.A. in International Studies in 1999. He returned to school after several years and received his J.D. from St. Thomas University School of Law in 2007. Those two degrees anchor a career that combines courtroom work with consumer-focused practice.
After law school, Riviere gained admission to practice in New Jersey and later secured rights to appear before the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. He moved into private practice and rose through the ranks. He is now a partner at Singer Riviere Law Group, where he shares leadership responsibilities and supervises litigation and client matters.
His professional memberships trace the shape of his work. He is a current member of the New Jersey State Bar and the Monmouth County Bar Association. He also belongs to the New Jersey Association for Justice, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers, and the Hayden Proctor Inn of Court. Those affiliations indicate steady involvement in both trial advocacy and consumer bankruptcy issues.
Colleagues describe Riviere as methodical in court preparation and practical in settlement discussions. He has experience handling contested matters in state and federal forums, and he frequently represents clients in adversary proceedings and related litigation arising out of consumer debt. His courtroom appearances have included matters in Monmouth County and in the federal district. He also participates in local bar activities and the Inn of Court, where practitioners exchange techniques and ethical perspectives.
Clients and co-workers point to Riviere’s direct style. He writes plainly in pleadings and prefers to present evidence and argument efficiently.
