NJ Supreme Court Certified Workers Compensation Attorney James M. Clancy. He personally handles and oversees all workers compensation claims and trials for the firm.
Mr. Clancy was one of the first attorneys awarded the designation of "Certified Worker's Compensation Law Attorney" by the Supreme Court of New Jersey in 1998 and at the time was the youngest attorney certified in that field of law.
He has been given an “AV” rating by Martindale Hubble for possessing the highest ethical and legal abilities. From 2021 to present he has been selected as a “Super Lawyer” in New Jersey, a rating that is given to only 5% of New Jersey’s attorneys.
He is a workers comp lawyer and member of The New Jersey Association for Justice who serves as co-chairman of the Workers' Compensation Committee. In that capacity he is responsible for providing continuing legal education to attorneys throughout the state.
Jim was invited to join "COSH" the Council on Occupational Health and Safety in the early 2000's. COSH is a consortium of attorneys, doctors and labor unions focused on the rights of injured workers. The group uses litigation, legislation and education in support of the cause. He has since been elected a member of the executive committee.
Mr. Clancy received his undergraduate degree from Lynchburg College and received his Juris Doctor degree from the Delaware School of Law. Mr. Clancy joined the firm in 1990, concentrating on worker's compensation law, wrongful termination, social security, and public disability pensions and employee rights.
Mr. Clancy has tried many cases to conclusion in the Division of Workers Compensation, The Office of Administrative Law and The Superior Court of New Jersey. His legal efforts have resulted in favorable interpretations of law by the NJ Appellate Division regarding discrimination against injured workers.
Mr. Clancy lives in Marlton, New Jersey with his family. He is a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, served on the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities Dioceses of Trenton and coached youth sports for the Marlton Recreation Council, the South Jersey Lacrosse Club and Cherokee High School Lacrosse.

Worker's Comp Client
I have been a client since 2010 when I got hurt on the job. Unfortunately I ended up with 3 surgeries to try to fix the problem. The insurance carrier initially accepted my claim but then tried to deny responsibility when it came time to settle. Mr. Clancy kept me informed of important information an...

Treated with respect and compassion
My attorney suggested I retain Jim to protect me and my family after I suffered devastating work injuries. I was injured on a construction project after being struck by debris from a motor vehicle accident. Jim fought for me every step of the way, making sure that I got the care that I needed and the...

I'm satisfied so far, and I'm very picky
Thus far, I like him. He's very knowledgeable an though he's always "in court" when I call him, he gets back to be soon.

Work injury
I was injured on the job and rendered totally diabled. Mr Clancy fought for me after my first attorney could not get my case settled. It took about a year because of the insurance company but he finally settled my case with out having to go to trial.

The worst lawyer I had and I won't recommend my worst enemy to this so called lawyer
This office came highly recommended and I was appalled at the lack of response I received from Mr. Clancy! He never answers emails or returns phone calls unless you beg for a response. Mr. Clancy had my case for six months and did nothing, et. no filing of important petitions, keeping me informed and...
I am very sorry that you did not like the opinions that were given. The treating phycicians discharged you in late April after a 5 month period of treatment. It was their medical opinion that you had recovered and could return to work. You disagreed with that assesment. As you live in Georgia and you case is venued in Newark ,NJ I advised you that it would be prudent to involve counsel who appears in Newark everyday. The costs involved for you to take your case to trial will be significant. Realizing this , the travel involved and how slowly the docket in Newark moves is why I made this suggestion. You instead chose to find another attorney. I wish you the best.
"I endorse this lawyer. Jim Clancy's knowledge and experience with work injury cases places him at the top of list of all work injury attorneys in New Jersey. I would highly recommend any attorney with a matter to refer to call Jim and discuss the case. He is accessible, always willing to help and a true asset to the legal profession."
"Mr. Clancy is an excellent advocate for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a client in need. He is also an asset to the Avvo Community, providing invaluable resources to those seeking help."
"Worker’s comp cases are properly handled by those who almost practice exclusively in this area, and based on his AVVO contributions he definitely knows his stuff!! I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Wonderful person and great attorney, with many years of experience. Highly respected."
