The practice of representing victims of negligence hasn't changed dramatically over all these years. We're still trying to help grievously injured people get on their feet again. What has changed is there is now a concerted effort by the insurance industry to discredit the jury system. A lot of money has been spent by the wrongdoers lobby to promote the idea that a jury composed of ordinary citizens, a jury of one's peers, is somehow incapable of making a sound reasoned judgment.
Many people see attorneys in a courtroom and marvel at their presentation, their skills and oratory. But the fact is there is much, much preparation behind the courtroom drama. Someone once said there are no lions in the courtroom, just drudges back at the office. There are plenty of 12-hour days, and lots of pressure in preparing a case for trial.
I have worked on many difficult cases in which a dangerous manufacturer, a negligent doctor or a careless driver caused an injury. Some of those cases have taken years to resolve, but we've been able to do what's right and what's in the best interest of our client. Unfortunately, many of those cases are settled with confidentiality agreements, so we can't disclose the problem that caused the accident and injury in the first place. That is unfortunate. Society would be much better off if we abolished confidentiality agreements so that the wrongdoer's conduct could be exposed for all to see.
I enjoy what I do - working within our civil justice system to help obtain for my clients a fair and just resolution of their case.

ATV Accident
Donald Caminiti was outstanding! My 18 year old son was a passenger in an ATV accident that crashed and he was ejected, suffering a burst fracture of his T5 vertebrae. Then 2 miracles happened: He was not paralyzed from the waist down AND we were blessed to be recommended to Mr. Caminiti for repre...

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had Don as an adversary for several decades on different matters. He is a professional of the highest caliber, who always does an excellent job for his clients in a professional fashion."
"There are about 3,000 attorneys who handle personal injury cases as their primary focus. Of that group, Don is in the top 10 in New Jersey. He works hard for his clients and gets outstanding results. Clients benefit because insurance adjusters keeps computer records on which attorneys are really willing to go to trial if their offer isn't high enough. As a result of Don's track record at trial, is clients routinely get higher out of court settlements. While his office is in Bergen County, where he is well known and well respected by the judges there, I strongly recommend him for all of the neighboring North Jersey counties as well. You will not be disappointed. When it comes to a caring, passionate trial attorney who will treat you as family, Don is your man. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"Don is the most competent, professional attorney I have known in my 25 years of practice (and 2 years as his clerk). Don is an example to the entire legal community and if we all did it as well as he does it, the world would be I nicer place. Good guys don't always finish last, Don's my proof. Top lawyer, great guy proud to know him."
