Our Practice Areas

PERSONAL INJURY

Personal injury litigation encompasses any type of civil lawsuit involving “torts” in which the plaintiff suffered injuries and damages as a result of the wrongful conduct of another. Injuries in these lawsuits can be as simple as a broken leg or as significant as a traumatic brain injury, birth defects, or even death. The wrongful conduct in a personal injury case may be negligent, reckless, or intentional. LEARN MORE

FEDERAL CRIME & GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS

Federal charges brought by the FBI, DEA, SEC, ATF, HSI, EPA, IRS or the Secret Service must be approached with the utmost care. A federal conviction can bring severe penalties that are often based on mandatory sentencing guidelines if convicted. LEARN MORE

DWI / DUI

Driving while intoxicated (NJSA 39:4-50) applies when a person is alleged to have been operating a motor vehicle while their faculties were impaired by alcohol or drugs. The legal limit in New Jersey is a 0.08 percent blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This BAC can be tested by a breath test or a blood test after arrest. However, prosecutors can use performance on field sobriety tests or other officer observations to show that your driving abilities were impaired. LEARN MORE
