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 Cecile violations (tickets), DWI, possession of CDS and other maters 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 20% 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

Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
DUI & DWI, matters in New Jersey's Municipal Courts and criminal matters are not handled on a contingent fee basis. Matters not related to personal injury or workers compensation are usually handled on an hourly or "flat fee" basis.

- Q. An off duty officer called in an on duty officer to pull me over for following him too closely after he cut me off.
- A: You don't state what ticket you were given. Regardless, especially since it is the Chief of Police as a witness, you should get a lawyer. The case might have to be referred to another town.
- Q. someone hit my parked car
- A: NJ law provides that you are entitled to the fair market value of the vehicle on that date of the accident. Check some of the online sites like Edmunds.com or autotrader.com to see if the other insurance company is in the ballpark. Better off resolving this without a lawyer due to the cost.
- Q. I would like to file a motion to seal records of a NJ Supreme Court/Appellate Division. Where do I file?
- A: It's public information by law.
