Welcome.

We are experienced civil litigation attorneys who have successfully represented clients as large as international medical device companies and as small as infants. We spend most of our time in New Jersey state and federal trial level courts but represent clients in forums as different as federal multi-district litigations and municipal court. We have represented clients over the years in most of the fifty states.

While we have had our share of favorable verdicts, our clients are usually more satisfied when they are spared the time, expense, publicity and uncertainty of the full litigation process. They are not enamored of the law or the process: they view it as a means to an end. Our clients appreciate not the stuff of headline victories but the anonymity of cases that end shortly after they begin with favorable resolution and without fanfare or press, frequently with a confidentiality agreement. Headlines are good for our business – not theirs. It is the interests of our clients that we serve, not our own. In doing so we both benefit.

We practice in a continuum by design. First we educate: our clients, ourselves and those involved. We take the time to understand your goals at the beginning. We plan a practical course of action to reach them with you. We mean what we tell you and tell you what we mean. We start from wherever you are. We negotiate a satisfactory resolution where we can. We litigate where necessary. While we are civil litigators, we usually advise our clients to litigate as a last, not first, resort. We use technology, knowledge, experience, persuasion, street smarts, an open mind and sheer force of will to get you where you need and want to go – no unnecessary stops in the middle. We do that together. The process may include mediating or arbitrating in addition to going to verdict or settling. Your goals direct our actions.

We can do this for you.
