Searching for a New Jersey Lawyer?

     I am an experienced New Jersey lawyer providing quality legal representation for the past twelve years. I am proud to announce that our offices have been voted by the readers of the Courier Post as "The Best Law Office in South Jersey" for the year 2008 and 2007, as well as 2006 in a recent readers poll. This distinction follows our past one of "One of The Best Law Offices in South Jersey" for the years 2004 and  2003. I am licensed to appear before all Federal, State and Municipal Courts in the State of New Jersey.

Helping You Address Serious Life Issues

     Injured at work? Facing the loss of driving privileges or personal freedom? I fight hard applying New Jersey law for the protection and benefit of my clients. NJ law is complex and I understand the serious consequences facing you and your family so I personally handle all cases I accept. My staff and I devote ourselves to fighting hard for a successful outcome for you.

Skilled New Jersey Attorney on Your Side

     I have heard the lawyer jokes. Please read my response below to one of the most famous misquoted lines from Shakespeare: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." I think you will find the context in which Shakespeare used that line instructive to understand just what in fact he meant. Some of your confusion and anxiety may include which lawyer to trust your matter. The greatest professional satisfaction I receive is the compliment from a client expressing gratitude and appreciation for the long hours of work on their matter and the result I achieved for them. They do not tell lawyer jokes after my representation.

     I can promise you the following: representation from a diligent, dedicated New Jersey lawyer focused on thorough preparation, giving you personal attention and striving for the best possible outcome.

     In choosing a New Jersey lawyer, remember the words of a famous poet of the Roman Empire named Manilus: "Finis Origine Pendet". The words translate into English as "The end depends on the beginning." Your choice of an attorney is the beginning. I invite you to begin by contacting me at (856) 596-8000.

     Thank you for visiting my site.

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

     It can be confusing when trying to choose an attorney to meet your legal needs. You may have never needed an attorney before, so you ask a friend to refer you to someone or you look in the Yellow Pages where hundreds of attorneys are listed. But how do you choose one attorney over another and how can you be sure that you will choose the right attorney to handle your particular legal problem?

     Finding the right attorney is to the benefit of both you and the attorney you choose. That is why the Supreme Court of New Jersey has directed the Board on Attorney Certification to administer the attorney certification program in an effort both to protect consumers from false advertising and to raise the level of competence of attorneys in this State. This program is designed to help you make an informed decision when seeking and selecting a lawyer.

     The Board on Attorney Certification was established by the Supreme Court of New Jersey in 1980 for the purpose of helping consumers find attorneys who have a recognized level of competence in particular fields of law. Attorneys may be designated by the Supreme Court as "certified attorneys" if they: are able to demonstrate sufficient levels of experience, education, knowledge and skill in a specific area of law or practice; have passed a rigorous examination; and have been recognized by their peers as having sufficient skills and reputation in the designated specialty.

     The Supreme Court, through recommendation by the Board, currently certifies attorneys in four areas: civil trial law, criminal trial law, matrimonial law, and workers' compensation law.

     An attorney must meet the following requirements to become certified:

• has been a member in good standing of the New Jersey Bar for at least five years;
• has taken a specific number of continuing legal education courses in the three years prior to filing an application;
• demonstrates substantial involvement in preparation of litigated matters;
• demonstrates an unblemished reputation by submitting a list of attorneys and judges who will attest to the applicant's character and ability; and
• passes a written examination covering various aspects of practice in the designated specialty.

NEW JERSEY WORK INJURY LAWYERS CONSIDER RECENT NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT RULING DECLARING CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE POLICY VIA E-FILING WITH THE STATE IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND THE POLICY STILL VALID.

New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau (CRIB) has for several years permitted insurance carriers providing workers= compensation liability insurance to NJ employers to use a file transfer protocol (FTP) to file with the State notice that a cancellation of coverage has been sent to an insured.   The New Jersey Supreme Court, however, agreed with a Judge of Compensation and the Appellate Division that such notice is ineffective.  The use of FTP is not a proper substitute for the required certified statement that the statutorily required notice of cancellation to the employer was provided.  The written, certified statement is mandated by the statute and is the required procedure according to the NJ Supreme Court.   Without providing the required statement, the insurance carrier has not properly cancelled the coverage. 

According to the Court: AThe electronic provision of information to the commissioner, without a certification, completely defeats the notion of personal responsibility that the certification provision was intended to secure.

Important work injury / work accident blog:

NEW JERSEY WORK ACCIDENT LAWYERS CONSIDER MEDICAL BENEFITS PROVISION OF THE NEW JERSEY WORKERS COMPENSATION ACT TO PROVIDE NECESSARY AND REASONABLE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR INJURED EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THE ACT.

According to N.J.S.A. 34:15-15: “an employer shall furnish such medical, surgical and other treatment and hospital service as shall be necessary to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ where such restoration is possible.”   As such, New Jersey work injury employees who cannot medically have the reduced function of the member or organ restored are entitled to permanency benefits. 

According to the New Jersey statute, if the employer refuses or neglects to provide medical treatment, the work injury employee may secure such treatment and the employer will become liable for the payment, provided that the employee requested the employer to furnish the treatment and the employer refused or neglected to do so, or, unless notification is impossible due to the nature of the injury or the circumstances where so peculiar as to justify.  

Case law interpreting the statute has held that as long as there is competent medical evidence and the treatment is reasonably necessary to cure or relieve the effects of the injury, there may be the necessity for continuing medical treatment if the function of the member or organ is thereby increased.

No law perfectly suits the convenience of every member of the community: the only consideration is, whether upon the whole it be profitable to the greater part.
