An experienced and proven litigator, I have extensive state and federal experience in commercial and business litigation matters and have been published in the New Jersey Law Journal. I have dedicated my legal career to the belief that every client deserves quality legal counsel and a fair chance in the courtroom. I am of counsel to the firm Bramnick Rodriguez Grabas Mangan and Arnold in Scotch Plains and the Beinhaker Law Firm in Millburn and have separated myself with the successful results I have already achieved for clients in a wide array of diverse and complex cases. I handle important legal matters for individuals and businesses of all sizes and budgets and have worked very hard over the years to maintain my reputation as a fair and honest attorney that provides excellent legal care for every client I represent.
I represent clients in both business transactions and state, federal and municipal court litigation. I am also the public defender for Westfield and Scotch Plains. My transactional practice is extensive and my litigation practice includes such matters as counseling clients for claims involving ERISA violations, breach of contract, commercial leasing issues, consumer fraud, and trademark and copyright infringement. I am admitted to practice in the state and federal courts of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and have handled matters in other states in accordance with prevailing rules and guidelines.

Perfect Outcome
Gavin Handwerker was exceptional in his defense on my behalf applying a clear command of legal strategy to achieve a perfect result. True story- the judge told me, on the record while administering her ruling, how well represented I was by Mr. Handwerker and suggested I thank him.

Not a good representative
There is no asset better than an aggressive attorney, particularly when it involves litigation. Mr. Handwerker certainly is aggressive. But, there is a difference between being aggressive for the benefit of your client, and being just downright mean to an adversary. Mr. Handwerker is the latter. ...
This person is not a real client as I did not have any jury trials in the last 15 months. This is obviously a competitor looking to defame a very good lawyer.
"Strong, practical, seasoned attorney who is able to give clients the benefit of having both defense and prosecutorial experience, able to accurately gauge potential outcomes for his clients and present their options."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. A very skilled litigator with very strong writing skills and persuasive arguments."
