Biography

Dedicated to Representing Employees in New Jersey and New York

I am a partner of Rabner Baumgart Ben-Asher & Nirenberg, P.C. in Montclair, New Jersey. I have dedicated my career to representing employees in discrimination, harasment, retaliation and other employment law cases in New Jersey and New York since I graduated from Cornell Law School in 1998. I have extensive experience writing and arguing appeals, and have participated in numerous landmark decisions, including Zive v. Stanley Roberts, Inc.; Stengart v. Loving Care Agency, Inc.; Myers v. AT&T; Cole v. Jersey City Medical Center; Padilla v. Berkeley Educational Services of New Jersey, Inc.; Brennan v. Norton; and Muller v. Exxon Research and Engineering Co.

Experienced Employment Lawyer

Prior to joining Rabner Baumgart, I have been a partner of The Nirenberg Law Firm, LLC, Resnick & Nirenberg, P.C., and Deutsch Resnick, P.A. I write articles about important employment law issues and developments for my firm's blog, the New Jersey Employment Lawyer Blog, and our newsletter, the New York and New Jersey Employment Law Newsletter. I am also the author of the articles When Does the Employer Have the Burden of Proof? (New Jersey Law Journal, March 17, 2008), Are Some Employees Entitled to More than 12 Weeks of Pregnancy Leave Under State and Federal Law (New Jersey Labor and Employment Law Quarterly, Spring 2002) and When Is an Employer's Failure to Provide Notice of FMLA Rights or Designate FMLA Leave Actionable? (New Jersey Law Journal, March 29, 2004).

New Jersey Rising Star

I have been named a Rising Star in Employment Law by New Jersey Super Lawyer Magazine in 2011, 2012 and 2013. I have an AV Preeminent peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which Martindale-Hubbell describes as "a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence."

I am a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA), as well as the National Employment Lawyers Association of New Jersey (NELA-NJ).

Posted by Amber | September 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney

Aggressively Honest

Mr. Nirenberg was honest in what he could, and could not achieve, in my case. He guided me through the entire process and was always available to me. His prices were fair and I received exactly the outcome that I sought when hiring him.

Posted by Pat | September 3, 2015 | Consulted Attorney

Would reccomend to anyone!

Very quick response and very accurate, looked up the adive that Mr. Nirenberg had given me and spoke with another lawyer about my case which the other lawyer said pretty much the same thing as Mr. Nirenberg. He even recomended that I could possibly handle my case myself by talking with the Department... of Labor, which just goes to show he cares more about the person then just seeing them as money. Thank you for your help!

Jonathan Nirenberg gave me outstanding representation in my employment law case

Jonathan Nirenberg provided me with outstanding representation from start to finish in my employment law case. My employer had denied my legal return to work following my taking FMLA leave to seek treatment for a personal problem. I contacted Jonathan and he met with me that day and he began taking... action immediately to protect my rights. Throughout the duration of negotiations with my former employer Jonathan provided me with a clear view of the process, spending ample time discussing the issues and our potential strategies with me. It was apparent to me every step of the way that Jonathan's primary concern was reaching a legal/remedy/settlement that best addressed my needs. I would recommend Jonathan Nirenberg without reservation to anyone in need of representation in a legal matter involving their employment.
