There is absolutely nothing bad to say bout Patrick. He is unlike the many other attorneys who are out there to only take as much money as they can from you. Patrick is a down to earth individual who puts you and your well being a the top of the list. As long as he continues to practice I do and will continue to refer him to those in need.

I had the pleasure of working with Alexander Schachtel, Esq. during the sale of my business, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. Alexander's depth of knowledge and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. He approached every aspect of the transaction with a level of care and thoroughness that was truly reassuring.
What stood out most was Alexander's ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch. He took the time to understand my needs and ensured that every detail was addressed, leaving no stone unturned. His methodical approach meant that nothing was overlooked, which was incredibly important in such a significant transaction.
If you're looking for a lawyer who combines expertise with a thoughtful, client-centered approach, I highly recommend Alexander Schachtel, Esq. His dedication to his clients is unmatched, and I'm grateful for the outstanding job he did in representing my interests.

I am very fortunate to have been referred to Donny Epstein for representation. He is responsive, professional, compassionate, fair, and tough when necessary. Donny is kind in the office and maintains a nice balance of friendly with professional distance. But i know that he will just as easily "bear his teeth" on my behalf when needed. I felt confident that the information and representation provided by him and his staff (particularly Carol Matula)was top-notch and far superior to that of my adversary. They "go the extra mile" and it felt like I was working with a friend.

To Whom is May Concern,
In February of 2023 I was hospitalized as a result of a serious accident that required months of
rehabilitation as well as surgery. While hospitalized, I contacted the Starr, Gern, Davidson &
Rubin law firm for legal representation. The firm had successfully represented my mother in a
legal matter several years earlier. David Wendel was assigned as my personal injury attorney.
David asked very pertinent questions involving the accident. He also made very helpful
recommendations concerning medical treatment and rehabilitation specialists that would assist
in my recovery. I followed his advice and the medical specialists that he recommended helped
me make a complete recovery. David also intervened with medical insurance companies
whenever coverage issues arose. He is very personable and easy to converse with. He also
kept me informed of any important developments in the legal proceedings.
I consider myself fortunate to have had David Wendel as my legal advocate. I highly
recommend David to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. In addition, the financial
award that I received as a result of his efforts far exceeded my expectations.
Sincerely
M. Lemon

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

I am in extreme pain and disbelief at how my kids and I are homeless today, living out of hotels, and suffering to a degree that is unconscionable, after Mr Noble pressured me to settle my discrimination and assault case for far less than what we agreed to before mediation. I had high hopes in Mr. Noble's skills during the years of litigation before the disastrous second mediation right before the scheduled trial date. There was no justification to yell, demean and bully me during the mediation, and to further ignore the grave concerns I repeatedly brought to his attention for years about the extent of the harms visited upon my family and me by the defendants and their agents. I do not know why I was treated in this manner, as I worked very hard on my case and tried to cultivate a respectful, positive working relationship with Mr Noble and the entire team. I am already at risk of discrimination and harassment by virtue of my religious, ethnic and gender characteristics.
Now that my claim was dismissed, I continue to be very vulnerable and unprotected, which is the opposite of everything I hired Mr Noble for. I believe an economist should have evaluated my damages from the start. I forgive Mr. Noble, however I do not believe in suffering in silence. May God bring complete justice to my family.

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one.
Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney.
During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce.
Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process.
The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well.
In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one.
Five star review.

Dana's knowledge and experience helped to answer our questions to ensure that we would together a thorough and compelling package for the state to review.

I cannot recommend John Anzalone enough for anyone seeking a personal injury attorney. From the moment I contacted his office, I felt reassured and well taken care of. John and his team were incredibly professional, responsive, and dedicated to my case.
Throughout the entire process, John exhibited a deep knowledge of personal injury law and provide clear guidance at every step. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly answered all of my questions, and ensured I understood the complexities of my case.
John’s negotiation skills are outstanding. He fought tirelessly on my behalf and achieved an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail and strategic approach were instrumental in securing a favorable settlement.
Beyond his legal expertise, John showed genuine compassion and empathy for my situation. He made me feel like more than just a client. He treated me with respect and empathy, which meant a lot during such a challenging time.
If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney who is not only highly skilled, but also genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than John Anzalone. I am incredibly grateful for his representation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Questions? We have answers
What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
