• Wrongful Death
  When you or someone you care about has been injured at a construction site or industrial job site you have every right to take legal action to obtain compensation. If the job accident leads to fatal injuries family members may seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Construction sites and industrial job sites are common places for work related injuries. The most common causes include incidents involving vehicles, tools, supplies, slip and falls, and electricity.
• Traffic Violations
• Theft
• Drug Crimes
  There are strict guidelines in New Jersey for Notice requirements to the tenant if the ground for the eviction is not nonpayment of rent. These Notice matters may include disorderly conduct, unauthorized tenants or sub lessors, destruction to property in premises, breach of lease, failure to accept lease changes, habitual late payment of rent, owner occupancy, theft, harassment of landlord and other tenants, drug violations and other causes for eviction.

Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Construction workers who get hurt on the job should be covered by workers' compensation provided by their employer by law. Workers' comp provides for medical bills being paid, disability income and if the injury is fatal, death benefits. Worker's compensation does not cover pain and suffering damages though. If we determine that the employer was reckless or negligent we would seek compensation directly from the employer in addition to workers' comp through legal action.
