Expert Litigator

Unmatched ability to prepare and deliver during litigation. Most definitely one of New Jersey's expert attorneys in the field of labor, employment and public sector matters. Walked us through the process painlessly with ease and confidence.

bad lawyering

Edelstein was my lawyer on a civil rights suit involving inequitable wages. He entered court papers late, handed my case off to lower level associates who were not long at the firm, and dragged out my case over 25 years! He was reprimanded by a State Supreme Court judge for handing in papers late a...nd jeopardizing my case. The case was never brought to trial - I dropped it when I retired from the university. Right up until the case was dropped, Edelstein assured me of the merits of the case and the certainty of a favorable disposition. He was terrible! I should have filed an ethics complaint against him and may yet inquire if it's not too late.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
