Lawyers that care and get it done right!!
Sadly I picked another lawyer, who by the blessing of God (I believe), gave my case to John and his Firm, who immediately hit the ground running and was able to get my case settled Finally. They care about their clients, they have a team like no other, they are well know in the system and respected ...

Great Lawyer
John is an excellent, experienced and compassionate attorney who fought hard for us for 3 years against the insurance companies and their stable of sharks and got us a great result and he never stopped fighting until we got the justice we deserved.

Great results
Had to take care of a situation with my son's driving and met with John at his office. He informed us of what was involved in case and our options. He is very personable and easy to talk to so we hired him. We met him outside the courtroom and he explained again what he was going to do in court. ...

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.
Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2002
updated on 12/11/2014This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
John’s comment:
“The reason for the reprimand was I neglected to include a footnote in the advertisement regarding an appeal on a $7 million verdict. There was never any complaint filed by the client. The client, to this day, still refers people to me. I have never had a complaint filed against me by any client in the 27 years I have been practicing law.”
