Helpful, Trustworthy and Compassionate

I consulted with David E. Marin regarding a malpractice case. I was impressed with his intellectual acumen of the law. He answered all my questions. I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Marin to help you.

Professional and Compassionate

David Maran provided our family with top-notch legal service after a life-threatening accident caused by a negligent driver. And he did so with care, concern, and compassion. Entering into the legal process can be intimidating and stressful. But Mr. Maran was there whenever we needed him, explaini...ng the process to us, step-by-step, and providing us with more information (which often included translating legal terminology!) along the way. I really don't know what we'd have done without his guidance and expertise.

Outstanding Attorney

I am recommending David E. Naran ESQ without any hesitation, A friend recommended David E. Maran ESQ to me when I was in need of an attorney and i did not know where to turn. I am a professional myself and whoever I hire I expect to be the best. The best does not mean "expensive" it means "fair." w...ith regard to cost. Attorney Maran put me at ease starting from our first contact. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, patient with me when I was distressed, scared, and frustrated, He always gave me as much time as it took for me to understand what I was required to do and what his plan was going to be - step by step. He was always honest with me. He explained things in words that I could understand and not in technical legal terms which confused me and I could not understand. He is a compassionate man. He would take the time to "really listen" to me and assure me that I was not dealing with my situation alone. David Maran and his staff are professional, friendly, always helpful, and most importantly responded to me in a timely manner. I am extremely pleased that I used his services. I would use his services in the future and would recommend his services to others. Karen - Montclair, NJ

David Maran, Esq. – Superb, Professional, and Courteous Legal Services

My interaction with David E. Maran, Personal Injury and Professional Malpractice Specialist, was a remarkable experience, which exceeded all of my expectations. I am grateful for his knowledgeable advice and caring representation. Mr. Maran was always available to me, returned my calls promptly,... and answered all my questions. From the beginning of our interaction, I was aware that he truly had my best interest at heart. His demeanor was calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring. David had remarkable insight into my personal circumstance, and was able to anticipate the tenets of the adversaries. I can’t adequately express the assistance, caring, and service which I received in the capable hands of David Maran. My satisfaction with his representation, reliability, and with my compensation is unqualified. I am sincerely appreciative. The services of the law firm, and of my attorney are an exceptional example of what the legal services industry ought to be. My treatment by Mr. Maran was outstanding, and I would enthusiastically recommend Maran & Maran to anyone looking for professional and considerate legal assistance. Kathryn Z. from New Jersey

David Maran went above and beyond his call of duty in representing me/my case. In his professionalism, he made me feel that it was all about me, and that he understood and supported me entirely. David Maran wouldn't accept anything other than a fair monetary agreement from the opposing council, f...or me. He is fair minded, and explains everything in laymen terms to those who don't really understand the way the law operates, and or the ins and outs of your case. David Maran is not only a friendly lawyer, he is astute in his approach to your concerns on the telephone, in person, and in court. Needless to say, I was satisfied with the outcome of my case, and my professional dealings with David Maran, Esq. You won't be disappointed.

"I endorse this lawyer. David is what I call "a lawyer's lawyer." What I mean is that he is so good at what he does that other lawyers in the community, like me, rely upon him to help us help our clients. David has been specializing in personal injury and medical malpractice work for over 30 years. He and his father Joe established one of the most respected personal injury law firms in New Jersey many years ago and the firm remains very well respected today. I have sent many prospective clients to David and Joe over the years and every one of them has reported back to me how pleased they were with the referral."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
