I have been practicing in the field of personal injury law for more than 40 years. I enjoy the close relationships, which I build with my clients throughout the course of a case. I do my best to put my clients at ease and trust that they feel safe and secure in the environment we have created in our firm. I represent people who suffer personal injuries arising from all types of motor vehicle accidents, such as car, bus, truck, and commercial vehicles. Also, injuries from motor vehicle accidents arising from uninsured and under-insured motor vehicles. I also prosecute slip and fall cases against commercial property owners, supermarkets and big box stores. I also represent people who have been injured by dog bites. In addition, I represent people injured in the course of their employment. These are commonly referred to as workers comp cases. In addition, I defend people charged with any type of motor vehicle violations (tickets), DWI, possession of CDS and other matters handling in our state's municipal courts.

Free Consultation
Telephone consultations are without charge. Personal injury and workers compensation cases are handled on a contingent fee basis of 1/3 in personal injury and 25% in workers comp. All fees in workers comp are subject to approval by a judge of compensation. In both personal injury and workers comp, you pay no fee, unless we recover for you. In other matters such as DWI, or when a client receives motor vehicle summonses, we may offer a flat fee or an hourly rate. - Contingent Fees

- Q. Concerns about lack of IME/deposition in personal injury case and summary judgment implications.
- A: Please clarify-are you saying the defense has not scheduled/taken your deposition and scheduled a defense exam (IME)? Please answer and I will respond.
- Q. How to resolve license suspension due to unpaid parking fines and court citation in NJ?
- A: Pay each of those outstanding parking tickets asap. Keep receipts. go to NJMVC and get your license reinstated. You'll probably have t pay the $100.00 restoration fee. You don't state what the current citation is for, so call the municipal court and see what they say are your options. If the citation is for driving while suspended, plead not guilty, go to court and speak with the prosecutor, or if you are uncomfortable with that, hire an attorney. Driving while suspended has a big fine and a loss of license penalty.
- Q. What can I do if I injured my ankle on wet stairs at a delicatessen in NJ?
- A: I believe it would be best to have a free consultation with a NJ attorney who is certified by the NJ Supreme Court as a Civil Trial Lawyer, many of us who answer questions like yours here.
Slip and fall cases require an analysis of whether given the weather, the deli could have taken reasonable measures to make the steps safer under the circumstances.
