Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Being arrested by the police is probably the scariest thing in the world. You are being accused of breaking the law and you are being treated like a criminal. It’s very hard to think in this situation. Even if you are being stopped by the police and being issued a book of motor vehicle summonses, it is still pretty traumatizing.
• DUI/DWI
  If you are stopped for DWI, you have to give breath samples to the police. You don’t have the right to speak with an attorney before taking this test. Failure to submit to a breath test is as serious as having a DWI.
• Wrongful Death
  A wrongful death case arises when the negligence of a person or a company causes the death of another person. It often occurs in the context of a motor vehicle accident, but it can also arise from a work related...
• Traffic Violations
  Even when a case is timely filed and the basic elements of negligence are proven by a preponderance of the evidence, other issues can arise. For example, New Jersey’s modified comparative fault law may come into play in a distracted driving case if the defendant admits that he or she was partially to blame for failing to yield but provides proof that the plaintiff also was negligent, perhaps by failing to apply the brakes promptly or by speeding through an intersection. If the plaintiff was 50% or less responsible for the crash, however, he or she can still recover damages in proportion to the defendant’s fault.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
• Drug Crimes
• Assault
• Shoplifting

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  There are many opportunities for a small mistake to result in catastrophic injuries on a construction site. The injuries that result are widely varying. In most cases, you may bring a workers' compensation claim against your employer if you are an employee injured in a construction accident. Benefits are available if the accident happened in the course and scope of your job, regardless of who may have been responsible for causing it.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  In New Jersey, as in other states, property owners are supposed to fix or remove dangerous conditions that might result in harm to a lawful visitor. If a property owner fails to use reasonable care to inspect the property and respond to any unsafe conditions, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries through a premises liability lawsuit.
• Property Damage
  Generally, under New Jersey law, a person seeking compensation for injuries and other damages arising from a car accident has the burden of proving a case of negligence by a preponderance of the evidence. This involves issues such as duty of care, breach of duty, and causation. The comparative fault of the plaintiff may also be an issue, as may the degree of harm suffered by the plaintiff and whether his or her injuries were significant enough to take the case out of the no-fault provisions that apply to cases involving only property damage and minor injuries.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
• Medical Malpractice
  Generally, in cases involving personal injuries in automobile, motor vehicle, slip and fall, construction accidents, workers compensation, product liability and medical malpractice, a lawsuit must be filed within two 2 years of the date of the event. If a lawsuit is not filed, you will be barred from recovery. This is called the “Statute of Limitations.”
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Individuals who suffer injuries in accidents involving dog bites, burns or injuries requiring surgery may have endured enormous pain and suffering and be left with disfiguring scarring as well. People can suffer long-term or even permanent physical and emotional consequences due to scars. The treatment needed to help heal these injuries is not just medical, but may require psychiatric or psychological care.
