We are a general law practice, with an emphasis in real estate - (real estate sales, both residential and commercial, property tax appeals, land use (zoning and planning boards) and landlord and tenant law), wills and estate administration (probate), municipal court representation (DWI and traffic offenses), income tax and business advisory services.
In addition to possessing a law license, Marcel was licensed in New Jersey as both a real estate agent and a certified public accountant. Continuing legal education is concentrated in these areas in order to maintain our expertise. We have over twenty years experience representing municipalities as a land use attorney or in property tax appeals. This gives us the unique perspective of "knowing what the other side is thinking" when we represent private clients. In addition, we have forged relationships with colleagues in these areas.
We also believe in giving back to the community. Marcel is a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, a fomer Board of Education member, served on the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Lodi and New Jersey Area Council of Boys & Girls Clubs, and has also coached girls softball (local and travelling) as well as girls soccer.
He is also actively invloved with several emergency services. He is currently the Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator for the Borough of Lodi (formerly a Deputy Coordinator for the Garfield Office of Emergency Management), an Operations Section Chief for the Bergen County Office of Emergency Management and a member of Garfield Fire Department Company 4.
He also own a couple of motorcycles which he enjoys riding as often as possible.
