I had no idea estate planning was so important until my mom was diagnosed with cancer and had 6 weeks to live. A neighbor recommended Nicholas Giuditta. The first phone call and meeting sealed the deal. His compassion, understanding, and willingness to guide me thru this process when time was of the essence lifted a large burden off of my shoulders. Estate planning at any time is overwhelming but Nick was there with professional guidance and a shoulder to lean on every step of the way. He was always willing to answer any questions, give legal advice, and assist in handling a lot of family drama. I was so pleased with Nick’s services, that my husband and I actually did ‘our’ estate planning with Nick. I would highly recommend Nicholas Giuditta! You not only receive the best professional help but also make a friend in the process!

Nick Giuditta was there during the worst days of my life. It's not often when you come across a lawyer who really cares. He was instrumental in settling my father's estate. His guidance is what I had hoped for. He effectively communicated each step that needed to be taken and made certain I had a clear understanding of the process. He is empathetic towards his clients needs and also builds a strong rapport with those he interacts with. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is searching for a lawyer.

I contacted Mr. Giuditta to discuss the possibilities of my case regarding a potential litigation situation related to the settlement of an estate. He was very generous with his time over the phone. I ended up hiring him and was extremely pleased with his attention to my situation. Mr. Giuditta returned phone calls in a very timely fashion, replied to my emails and keep me updated with my case. He has a very pleasant manner, addressed my questions thoroughly and with patience. The final settlement of my situation was within the time frame he stated and the concluding details were handled without a problem. I highly recommend him should your situation fall within his expertise. NO hesitation in my mind !

In turning to Mr Strauss I was feeling very vulnerable, in pain, and like I was at a dead end in being able to get the help I needed. Mr Strauss and staff were very helpful to facilitate the care I needed to stabilize my health. Mr Strauss always reviewed all the facts, the pros and cons to any situation that arose, and helped me navigate the complexity of what my rights were to get the care I needed to be able to function again. Mr Strauss was able to settle my case reasonably and without having to go through a lengthy litigation process. I feel he was able to negotiate and settle the matter that he was handling with my best interest in mind at all times. Thank you again for a job well done. If I ever needed your assistance again or knew anyone who did I would certainly call or recommend without hesitation.

Mr. Strauss has shown me dedication beyond my belief. He has helped me push forward when i started to lose hope and for that, i am extremely grateful. When i felt my case would be a loss, he helped show me the full picture and succeeded in my case. His integrity and morals towards individuals, whether a consultation or a client, brighten the mood and helps those in need. I will forever use Mr. Strauss as my attorney and i will continue to refer him to family, friends, co-workers as well as others in need. Thank you Mr. Strauss for everything.

My Attorney, Sarah Delahant, made a horrible legal situation, bearable. All the legal mumble jumble sometimes wore on my patients, and there was much that I did not understand; but my attorney always took my calls, returned calls and explained what was going on. Never once making me feel foolish, even when I was upset with the legal system, a system that was foreign to me. That is just unheard of these days, no matter what the profession, it is hard to find someone that you can truly rely on. I am glad it is all behind me now, but I feel safer just knowing that if I find myself in a situation where I would need an attorney, I have one that I would trust with my life; and that gives me a certain peace of mind.

I have worked with Raymond Miller for 4 years. He has represented my clients in a thoughtful, protective manner. Each one of my clients always end up raving about how much they liked his service. I like to refer him because he keeps me, the Realtor, informed about the process. He is a real team player who treats me with respect and knows that we are all on the side of our mutual client. Most real estate lawyers are very disrespectful to all of the agents involved. They rarely thank the agent and leave the agent and agency completely out of the loop, which makes the close a difficult and unwieldy process rather than a smooth, efficient process like Raymond Miller does. When I hear closings go terrible, I know that they don't have the kind of attorney that I use. He keeps everyone informed and on the same page. I can't say how much I appreciate all that he does for my clients and appreciate the respect that he affords me as a referral source.

I have had the privilege to be represented by Alex Kemeney for well over five years in a family matter, a legal area where emotions typically run high. For five years, no matter what the circumstances, or the anger and grief it caused, Alex remained calm and steadfast in his representation. Alex gave sound advice, based on a deep knowledge of the law and experience with effectively applying it. Alex took the case despite only having only a matter of days to review the filings and documentation before a court hearing. He negotiated a consent agreement that provided rights and protections not normally granted by law as well as oversight and accountability. It was an incredible win under normal continuous representation, but particularly remarkable for only having days to get up to speed and prepare. With every filing, he distilled the specific law and legal principles that lead to a court’s ruling, and focused on the established law and crafted successful arguments. The state and federal laws and regulations in this area of law are woefully inadequate to protect the vulnerable. Alex was always honest about the limits of the justice system, but despite those limits, he still fought as hard as I did to enforce a consent order. Throughout this entire matter, despite odds not being in my favor, Alex conducted his representation with absolute ethics and integrity, even when faced with questionable tactics from other parties. The case involved sensitive family matters and his approach always treated the core issue with compassion and dignity. Alex restored me as beneficiary of a contested will, another matter normally difficult to reverse, and he provided the best one-liner of the day, which I will forever remember with a laugh. Thank you for turning a difficult situation into one of my most humorous memories.

TBRS, Inc. - a full service retail automotive services company, with over 100 years of experience. Yes, a quick pitch for our company. But, to the point - Ari Weissbrot was amazing. He doesnt charge his clients for phone calls, email, meetings! Having dealt with all kinds of law firms, let me tell you - - this adds up. We were skeptical at first. After all, you get what you (don't) pay for. But, this is one expert attorney. Well-informed, aggressive and hard -working. It's almost like our business matters more to him than to us. He has already handled two lawsuits and all of our contracts and employment work.

When the dust settled, he recovered a fairly sizable award for US, and his fees were unexpectedly reasonable. more importantly, he was So client focused.

Divorce is an emotional business to be in, and no matter how upset or angry I was, she would remain level headed, had the ability to calm me down and make sure I was making the correct decision, not a rash one. When it came to dealing with my ex-husband's lawyer she was in control, and I felt confident she was just smarter. Most importantly, Pat truly cares about her clients.

The attorney who our neighbor was employed by did not handle work related law. That attorney referred us to Art Raynes. Lucky day for us! At the initial meeting with Mr. Raynes he made us feel very comfortable. He listened to what we told him and was very honest with his answers. Ours was not a big case for him but he decided to accept it anyway. Another lucky day for us! During the following negotiations and mediation we were kept informed every step of the way. Eventually the case went to mediation and we went there with Mr. Raynes. There is no other attorney that we would have wanted to spend an entire day in a mediation room other than Arthur Raynes. Again, he was supportive, concerned, and caring. The entire staff at Art's office were so easy to work with- always polite, friendly and helpful from day one. We would highly recommend Art Raynes to anyone. He is definitely the first person that we would call if we need legal advice again. Most of all, we feel that Art Raynes not only became our attorney but also a friend during a difficult time.

My interaction with Art Raynes came in a circuitous fashion. I encountered a situation with my employer that resulted in the suggestion that I consult with a lawyer and financial advisor. The financial advisor was easy. I had been working with a man I trust for a few years already. The lawyer was another matter – especially for this specific situation. Through a recommendation from my financial advisor, I contacted an attorney who advised me that he only represents corporations, not individuals. I asked him if he had any recommendations for some one representing “the other side”. He immediately gave me Art’s name, firm, and location. He commented that Art and he were on opposite sides during a recent encounter. He added that Art represented his client well, was fair, and reached a satisfactory result for that client. This was, in my mind, one of the best recommendations for an attorney I could receive. Art’s advice and guidance throughout the time of my situation with my employer was clear, honest, supportive, and, at times, comforting. He helped me to maintain my perspective, composure, and wits when it seemed to me that all was being violently tossed about in space. His no nonsense approach worked well for me; and, it was a pleasure to observe him employ his skills on my behalf. All of this was in evidence from my initial handshake and conversation with Art until my last conversation and handshake. I am pleased that this episode in my life is now in the category of a experience along with lessons learned. I am pleased to have had Art’s professionalism and empathy on my side from beginning to end. I am also pleased that I am able to offer kudos and thanks for Art Raynes and his work on my behalf. He is tops on my list if ever I am asked for a recommendation for an employment lawyer to represent an individual. Maybe even better than my recommendation is discovering that a recommendation for Art’s work to an individual was forthcoming from the opposition in my case…. An employee seeking fair treatment from his employer when it is being denied would be wise to consider Art Raynes early on in his search for an attorney to represent him. He will receive the very best from the very best.

My only regret is that I cannot give Art more than 5 stars. I just cannot say enough good things about Art and his team. He and his associates are professionals in the truest sense of the word. I was terminated from a job after I complained about sexual harassment by another employee. I went to another lawyer first who asked for money, wrote a couple of letters, let the insurance company manipulate him and then told me he needed more money. I was very frustrated, didn't want to give up, but didn't really trust him to do the job. I found Art through a search of 'Jury Verdict Review and Analysis'. I found a case that seemed similar to mine and Art was the plaintiff's lawyer. Most lawyers would not let me walk in the door or even talk to me over the phone without handing over a ton of money. Art talked to me. He listened to me carefully, looked at all my documentation and got back to me promptly. He did more in the first month than the other lawyer did in a year. He explained everything that he was doing, asked for my input, and was always direct with me. If you've ever dealt with a lawyer who takes the case but then barely seems to remember who you are, you will find Art a breath of fresh air. Art FOLLOWED UP. Constantly. My case would never have settled as quickly as it did without Art and his firm. First of all, Art filed the lawsuit right away (which my other lawyer neglected to do) and he did it in a way that really got the attention of the defendants. The defendants dragged their heels every step of the way and Art stayed on them like a pitbull. He deposed EVERYONE that needed to be deposed. He did not cut corners. He did not allow the defendants to push me around. I would also like to say that I am not the type of person who is easily impressed. If I go to a doctor I'm the type to Google a diagnosis, research a medication, get a 2nd opinion, etc. The situation I went through with my wrongful termination and harassment caused me to mistrust more people than ever. But I honestly would trust Art and his firm completely. Not only did Art get me a very nice settlement but he and his firm really gave me back my life, and I don't say that lightly. If you are lucky enough to get this man or his associates to represent you, you can sleep well knowing you have the best on your side.

I have had a difficult few months, with a house purchase, two moves, and a death in the family which required me to spend two months out of the country. My car registration could not be completed online because of a name misspelling, and I was putting off going to the MVC because of COVID-19. One Sunday morning, my friend texted me that she was on a hike and invited me to join her, and so I went in my car without my wallet. A cop flagged me for going over the speed limit in Pennington, and then piled a couple huge fines because I did not have my driver's license, and my registration had lapsed. (This jolted me into finally going to the MVC the next day in Trenton.) Fortunately, I have a legal plan through my employer, which Jenna Casper-Bloom accepts. I noticed she has her own law practice in the area, but that beforehand she worked at the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender for 15 years, and thought she would know our state's system like the back of her hand. I was right. I called her the next day, it took 3 minutes, she asked me to email her the tickets, and all the information I thought was relevant. I didn't hear back until a week and a half later, when she'd reduced the fine by 40%, ensured there were no points, and that I was not pleading guilty. Money is so tight right now, that even a 10% reduction would have been helpful, and this was way beyond my expectations. I was very impressed by how efficiently she handled my case, and I never felt for a second that I was on a legal plan. I am very grateful I found a local counsel who is sharp and hard-working and I will be recommending her to my colleagues and friends. (And BTW, since you're reading a review about a lawyer, I wish you good luck with your legal troubles.)

Jenna is excellent in all respects. She achieved our objectives without any problems. It is tough to find a local attorney in western NJ as so many attorneys from the urban counties try to pretend like they practice in Hunterdon and Warren Counties. If you have any matter in the Northwestern part of the state, you would be a fool to hire an attorney from Essex or Bergen County when there is such great and competent counsel in Flemington.

The Middlebrooks & Shapiro Law firm has been instrumental in helping me managing my finances for the last 7 years. When I first contacted the firm in 2005 my personal finances were in shambles. Health problems were the root cause of my problems. First, Melinda and her team listened carefully to what I had to say. Then it did not take them long to devise a plan for me to get back on a good path of being financially responsible and accountable for all the expenses that I incur. This was not the end of the story though. The staff at the Ms. Middlebrooks' office worked shoulder to shoulder with me as I began to implement the custom tailored tasks that I needed to accomplish. At the heart of my financial recovery was a very detailed budget of my monthly income and expenses. I had never been taught how to discipline myself economically. It was only after it was explained patiently by her group that the methods and techniques made sense. I am happy to say that in the last few years all the help that the Middlebrooks Shapiro law firm has made a monumental positive difference in my life. I sincerely thank them for that!

I used Melinda after I was downsized and lost my job after 27 years. I was devastated and very anxious about what was going to happen next, would I lose my house, be able to pay my bills, I had so many questions. I had heard about Melinda from several friends and decided to schedule an appointment. At the initial consultation, Melinda was so compassionate and knowledgeable, I really felt she cared about me as a person and not just another case. She walked me through all my options without making me feel pressured to decide immediately such a large decision. I decided to file with Melinda's guidance and she was there every step of the way. The beauty of this smaller, specialized firm is that I never felt I was bothering anyone with my questions or phone calls. They were always extremely accommodating. Filing for bankruptcy is a very difficult decision and anxiety provoking to say the least. I know that the process was made so much easier by the personalized care I received from Melinda.

Brooke Hern handled, and won, my disability case; he is an excellent attorney! He took the facts of my disability and made the private insurance company understand that I was, in fact, not able to work. He did this with a determined focus, never letting up. He communicated with me on a regular basis, making certain that I was informed about what he was doing, and why, and what he expected to happen. This alleviated my anxiety that I would be denied the disability. He talked directly with all of my physicians; this helped immensely by assuring the physicians knew what the status of my application was and how he was approaching the claim. This encouraged the physicians to respond in a meaningful way when Brooke needed information from them. Each of my physicians commented to me that it was a pleasure to work with Brooke. They said it was always clear that he had my interest in mind, and commented on how professionally he approached his work. Brooke was very up front with me about how long the process could take to resolve. His pursuits never faltered; I am so glad that I have Brooke Hern “in my corner”. His success makes me the winner.

We were 7.5 months into a high-risk pregnancy and found ourselves facing an illegal eviction. The Superior Court Judge actually violated case law and granted the landlord an illegal Warrant for Possession. We contacted Chip the same day and he was reassuring and fully informed about what our next steps should be. We scheduled a consultation and met with Fred Dunne, who had spoken to Chip, and he outlined the legal steps they would take. We were instantly comfortable in their hands and could tell they were motivated on both a legal and moral level. I had been litigated against my ex-husband and been through 6 lawyers. I was particularly impressed that both Chip and Fred were genuinely invested and outraged at the legal injustice. Chip took over and we went to the hearing where the Superior Court Judge maintained his illegal position. Chip cited case law that the adversary’s attorney was not even familiar with. He was meticulous and also made sure he got everything “on the record” as we knew we would have to appeal, given the high-risk nature of my pregnancy. Throughout the entire process, including the appeal, Chip was attentive and extremely responsive when questions arose. Chip prepared an impeccable brief for the appellate division and they overturned the Superior Court’s improper ruling within 24 hours. After retaining half a dozen lawyers and consulting with at least another half dozen over the divorce litigation, I can honestly say that Chip is one of a kind. This is the first review I have ever written and I am happy to be able to do it. If you have lost faith in lawyers like I had, Dunne, Dunne and Cohen will definitely restore it. They are highly competent, attentive and they CARE.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

  • Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
  • Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
  • Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
  • Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

  • Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
  • Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
  • Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
  • Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
  • Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
  • Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
  • Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
  • Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
  • Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

  • The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
  • Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
  • Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
  • Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer

Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
    Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy.
  6. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
  • Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
  • Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

  • A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
  • Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
  • A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
  • Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
  • Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
