New Jersey Attorneys in a Multidisciplinary Practice: 800.464.4816

Matrimonial and Family Law - Our primary focus is to reach a negotiated solution to all types of disputes, whether that be through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation and arbitration, or the emerging practice of collaborative law, or the traditional "four-way" negotiation. The ultimate goal is to resolve child custody, child and spousal support, property division, and other family law issues in a timely, cost-effective and amicable manner. At the same time, if a fair out-of-court settlement is not possible, we are prepared to aggressively litigate to protect our clients' interests. Our attorneys are also proud to provide sound legal guidance and support throughout the adoption process.

Real Estate and Land Use - We handle both complex commercial real estate transactions and residential closings, and clear zoning or permitting hurdles for developers.  We also provide sound legal advice on avoiding and handling foreclosures, property disputes and related concerns.

Bankruptcy - Due to recent changes in bankruptcy law, many individuals and businesses who are seeking relief from overwhelming debt must weigh their options carefully when deciding whether to pursue bankruptcy under Chapter 7 (debt liquidation) Chapter 11 (debt restructuring) or Chapter 13 (debt consolidation and reduction). Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys will work hard to help you keep your business afloat or protect your family home from foreclosure. We also represent creditors in bankruptcy proceedings.

Criminal Defense - From traffic tickets and DWI to serious felony charges, our criminal law attorney can help maintain your innocence or minimize penalties for conviction. We have significant experience and a proven track record of success in high-stakes cases, including:

• Drug offenses such as possession, sale, distribution, importation or cultivation/manufacture of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines (meth) as well as charges related to the illegal possession and sale of prescription drugs
• Sex crimes ranging from aggravated sexual assault or rape to indecency charges and allegations of child sexual abuse
• White collar crime such as embezzlement, fraud and identity theft (credit card fraud)

Estate Planning and Probate - We provide comprehensive estate planning services, draft Wills to prepare for death or incapacity, Trusts to manage and preserve assets, and assist executors or personal representatives in settling the probate estate of a loved one who has died.

Business and Commercial Law - Our veteran business attorney has helped hundreds of start-up companies choose the best entity for success, and assists with business transactions to assure a smooth conclusion.

Landlord / Tenant Law - We represent commercial and residential property owners in lease negotiations or eviction proceedings, and protect the rights of tenants in recovering security deposits or challenging illegal lockouts.

Civil and Commercial Litigation - Experienced trial lawyers handle lawsuits for damages, or seek judicial relief, for any dispute: breach of contract, divorce, negligence, real estate and business transactions, and more.

Personal Injury - If the negligence of others caused physical harm or emotional distress, we aggressively pursue compensation through settlement or trial. Our lawyers handle auto accidents, slip and falls, product liability, intentional acts, and other injury claims.
