Contact our Bergen County, New Jersey, law firm or follow the links below for more information about our legal practice.

We focus on personal injury, municipal and traffic matters, and family law issues. Our work includes:

• Personal Injury We thoroughly understand liability law in New Jersey and New York, and use that knowledge to construct strong personal injury cases for clients injured by the negligence and carelessness of another.
• Divorce We handle all aspects of divorce, including custody, support, property division, and visitation. We also handle post-divorce modification petitions so that families can adjust to changing circumstances.
• Juvenile and Family Law We represent juveniles in criminal matters and parents in chancery court proceedings. We also handle Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) cases, adoptions, guardianships, domestic violence, and other cases related to children.
• Motor Vehicle Accidents Injuries arising from car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents can be serious. Speak with an attorney to learn if you are able to file a claim for compensation for your injuries.
• Slip and Fall You may have a limited amount of time to file a claim after a slip-and-fall accident. This is especially true if the fall occurred on public property owned by a city or the state. Speak with an attorney right away to learn if you have a case.
• Toxic Accidents It is important to speak with an attorney as soon as you think you have an illness that might have been caused by toxins in your environment. Testing and investigation are key in toxic accident cases; it is important to capture the evidence right away.
• Product Liability When consumers are injured by defects in manufactured products such as cars, toys, and lawn and garden equipment, our law firm helps them obtain compensation.
• Worker's Compensation We help injured workers file claims for benefits. Whether you were injured in an office or at a construction site, you are entitled to payment that provides medical treatment, wage replacement, and more.
• DUI/DWI, Traffic Violations, and Municipal Court We handle DWI cases, protecting our clients' rights, their driving privileges, and their jobs. We also defend people against criminal charges in municipal court, from speeding tickets to misdemeanor drug possession and all other disorderly persons offenses.
• Real Estate and Zoning Appeals We handle closing, refinance, leases, landlord/tenant disputes, and zoning applications and appeals.

We also handle matters involving business law, residential and commercial real estate, and probate and estate administration. Whatever your legal need, our firm is able to help you resolve it with attention to your goals and your rights. Contact Westwood lawyer to learn more. Call (201) 664-0701.
