Knowledgeable Counsel

Todd has always been available to answer any and all questions. He explained the process up front and gave his honest opinion setting forth reasonable expectations. Whenever matters arose, he handled it quickly and was responsive to each and every text message. He demonstrated his expertise in th...e Court room fighting for the highest percentage and settlement. We refer everyone to him as we know he will treat them like a friend. Thanks Todd for everything.

A great WC attorney

Mr. Wachtel from day one, after Todd started to represent us, has demonstrated an expertise and produced significant results in our case. Our WC payment tripled. Years later he continues that same high level of service as issues arise. Todd handles everything with favorable outcomes, he is extreme...ly responsive to my text messages. Having a spouse with severe brain trauma has been difficult, and without his involvement and compassion the last several years would have been unbearable. Mr. Wachtel has my highest recommendation.

"Todd Wachtel is one of the hardest working workers’ compensation attorneys in New Jersey. Todd is a certified workers’ comp attorney and his entire practice is devoted towards helping injured employees. He is recognized by his peers as a very knowledge adversary and they always have positive things to say about him. He is also accessible on social media and posts informative content.
