For more than 30 years, Jersey City injury lawyer Anthony Carbone has successfully practiced personal injury, family law, and criminal defense in New Jersey. He is the sole practitioner at his firm but has a large support staff of paralegals, legal assistants, and a team of experts to offer insight into accident cases, medical malpractice cases, etc.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Attorney Carbone worked as a police officer. After spending a few years working with the police department, he decided to switch gears and continue his education in order to better defend those who needed it most.
After obtaining his JD degree from Temple University and passing both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Bar exams, Attorney Carbone returned to his hometown of Jersey City, NJ, to begin his own law practice.
Attorney Carbone prides himself on offering his clients aggressive, relentless, and successful representation and has the track record to prove he can handle the tough cases. He has a keen insight into local, state, and federal laws and has helped countless of New Jersey residents get the compensation they deserve following any type of accidents — from an auto accident to slip and fall to even a construction site accident.
He has successfully handled many divorces, working diligently to ensure his client receives a fair settlement. If you have been charged with a crime, whether a felony or misdemeanor, our criminal defense lawyer will perform a thorough investigation into the allegations against you and prepare an aggressive defense to get your charges dismissed or to get you an acquittal should the case end up before a judge and/or jury.
Attorney Carbone has accumulated numerous accolades in recognition of his outstanding legal career. He has been named to the New Jersey Super Lawyers list for the past four years, is listed on the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and has received an AV® Preeminent™ rating from Martindale-Hubbell®. In addition, Mr. Carbone was named as one of the nation’s top one percent of trial lawyers by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel. These honors are not only testaments to his ability to advocate for his clients and ensure that their rights have been preserved, but also reflect his record of delivering consistent results.
Attorney Carbone received his bachelor’s degree at Jersey City University in Jersey City, New Jersey. He graduated from Temple University School of Law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has practiced law in Hudson County, New Jersey for 30 years.
