Charles Z Schalk

Charles Z. Schalk is a trial attorney and managing partner with Mauro, Savo, Camerino, Grant & Schalk where he heads up an active litigation practice.  The New Jersey Supreme Court has designated Mr. Schalk as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, a distinction achieved by only approximately 2% of all practicing attorneys in the State of New Jersey.  

Mr. Schalk has obtained multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. After a three-week trial, Mr. Schalk obtained a widely-publicized $2.025 million verdict on behalf of a dental student against UMDNJ in which it was alleged that the student was expelled in violation of his 14th Amendment rights and denied procedural and substantive due process.  Nationally, this became the largest student expulsion verdict ever eclipsing the Zwick v. University of Michigan verdict of $1.72 million in 2005.  This judgment was fully collected two months after the verdict.

Mr. Schalk obtained a more than three million dollar verdict against a large corporation for an employee alleging violation of the Conscientious Employee Protection Act and settled a minority shareholder and employment matter for close to three million dollars.  On January 15, 2015, Mr. Schalk received a $2.5 million personal injury arbitration award for a client in a complex and usual matter in Mercer County.  His verdicts have been published by the New Jersey Law Journal as the top employment and civil verdicts in the State of New Jersey several years running.
