My lawyer Mr. John Gorman is the best of the best! He was recommended to me by a family member and I am so happy she did! I was in a bad accident with a bus that hit me and almost lost my life! I remember the day I limped into his office and met him for the first time. I remember describing my accident with tears in my eyes and how compassionate he was towards my feelings! He was so welcoming, kind and overall I felt a great sense of trust in him that he will work hard on my case! Mr. Gorman has won the heart of my whole family because he and everyone else in his office told me to focus on recovering from my injuries and that they would take care of everything else which they did impeccably! They did everything from start to finish with such ease and experience and always kept me updated! Mr. Gorman was always a phone call away and was never too busy to talk to me if I had a question! Mr. Gorman will take on your case and fight like a gladiator to get you top dollar and the justice you deserve! He truly treats you like his own and fights and protects you like you are his family! I have never met such a brilliant lawyer in my life and I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family! I never believed that there were lawyers like Mr. Gorman out there, but there is and I was lucky enough to have met him. Trust me when I say that he knows his stuff and you will want him and only him to represent you and your loved ones! Shout out to Mr. Gorman! You are simply the best! Thank you for everything! God bless you and your family always!

kim is best lawyer period. if you are going though any legal issues she is the best in business to defend and win the case for you. She is takes every case very seriously and is always on top of the case. She discusses the strategy and executes them like she is fighting for one of her own family member. Some people try to accuse me me of BS charges and Kim got it resolved as case DISMISSED and EXPUNGED. Very delighted with the outcome.

Josh was a fantastic lawyer from start to finish - and after! I got arrested for the first time ever and was charged with 4th degree Stalking. The whole story was overblown by the police and prosecutors, to the point that even the "victims" were not adamant about my arrest - they repeatedly declined to even file complaints against me for harassment when encouraged by police. Furthermore, police repeatedly asked two children and two parents in as many suggestive ways as they could about whether or not I had acted sexually inappropriate towards them - time and time again, they all denied it. The whole thing was a mess. The prosecutor and police were overzealous and I feel used inaccurate and false information to give to the judge. Josh was an unbelievable help and without him and as hard as he tried to stand up for my rights this could've turned out so much worse. He went the extra mile. First, the state filed to have me detained. Josh immediately worked on ways to get me on pretrial release. I was in jail for 14 days. Josh filed motion after motion trying to get me out. He had me do psychological evaluations and used them, in addition to other evidence, to speak to different judges for my release. His representation of me was strong and his arguments right on point. One judge finally let me out on home detention. The prosecution appealed the judge, and the appellate court took my side. After 50 days on house arrest, Josh worked hard to let me leave NJ to go home to another state - something rarely allowed. He put together an excellent motion spelling out every point to the judge which showed, clear as day, that it was absurd to keep me on home detention because of financial hardship. The prosecution fought this, but after another psychological eval., I was free! At my PIP date, the prosecution didn't offer me a plea! Josh got me to apply to PTI, and the probation dept. rejected my app. Somehow, Josh was able to miraculously get the prosecution to allow me into PTI anyway. One final date came - I had a choice to plead not guilty and go to trial or plead guilty and get into PTI conditional on a guilty plea for 3 years with a psychological eval. and possible treatment. Right down to the end I wanted to fight it but Josh encouraged me to take the deal. I'm confident if I went to trial Josh would've been my first pick. He also raised 4th amendment issues and was confident he could've had evidence thrown out at trial. Finally, I think he did a great job behind the scenes working with the prosecutor's office to get a resolution. My point in telling all this is to say how thrilled I am with his representation. No lawyer is a miracle worker, and this didn't turn out perfectly, but I'll be no one could've done a better job or would've tried harder than he. He was also very respectful to me the whole time, listened well, was always available for questions, made the proper suggestions, etc. He visited me in jail periodically for updates. He spoke in a commanding and intelligent manner to the judge and his arguments were clear. He went the extra mile and tried hard - even got my PTI moved to another state. He even followed up afterwards, and after my plea, he walked me over to the probation office on the street. Great lawyer, great guy, great representation, and great effort! I recommend him highly - you'll get a slightly above average price for WAY above average representation and stellar effort!! Criminal charges are a mess, so get yourself a good lawyer who cares and will put in the time! 9 out of 10!

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of New Brunswick, New Jersey?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
