Injuries at work can happen. In such instances, your employer’s insurance company will normally provide you with medical treatment for these on-duty injuries, but sometimes they don’t, or hold back on treatment that should be given. We have experience on how to handle these situations, move to obtain the needed treatment, and ultimately seek a monetary award for your work-related injury.
Are you a member of the New Jersey State Pension System (PFRS, PERS, TPAF, SPRS) and have you also suffered a disabling injury that requires an earlier retirement? If so, we can assist you with application for Accidental (‘two-thirds’) or Ordinary Disability benefits with the State of New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits. We have successfully represented hundreds of clients in disability claims from the agency level up to the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Perhaps you are no longer capable of maintaining gainful employment due to a medical or emotional condition – if so, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits. We successfully represent Claimants before the Social Security Administration in claims for disability benefits.
We are experienced in matter before the Surrogate Court including Estate litigation, guardianship proceedings & resolution of estate issues.
Litigation can be divided into several stages, including investigation, pleadings, discovery, pretrial proceedings, potential settlement or trial, and even appeal. Discovery is typically the longest and most labor-intensive stage of a case. We have handled such cases through all phases from onset through final resolution by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Being charged with a criminal offense is a serious matter for which we provide experienced trial counsel.
