My client was sued for $20,000 by a former tenant on allegations of neglect and illegal conditions in the apartment. After several court appearances, motion practice, and extensive settlement discussions, we won a full dismissal of the case before an Essex County Judge! Client was ecstatic that our work, persistence and steadfastness paid off with a winning result!

My client was facing prison time on felony charges in Bergen County (and with little wiggle room for negotiating due to a prior felony). We had court this morning, where I was able to get all of the charges dismissed. Out of gratitude, the client gave me the rosary I am holding, and had the following to say: “God is number one, you’re second”. (While I am never happy being second, I can make an exception here!) Elated to help my client get a second lease on life!

I represent a local newspaper editor whose publication was sued for defamation during Covid. When I was retained, the paper had a default against it (partly due to issues with service), and a potential judgement that would cripple the operation. I successfully filed a motion to have the default vacated and the case reinstated. After more than two years, I am proud to report that the case has been dismissed!

I can move this file (one of my oldest on my desk) to the cabinet and my client editor’s publication can continue to serve the public with local, but breaking and insightful stories that serve the greater good of the community!
