Because real estate and business
transactions do not always turn out the
way we intend, planning and being
prepared for litigation are essential.
The first step in doing that is to have
an experienced litigator looking out for
and protecting your best interests. As attorneys, we have extensive
experience and success with protecting
the interests of our clients in
courtrooms throughout New Jersey.
Because we also respect our clients' time
and expense, we work to handle these
real estate and business-related
disputes as efficiently and economically
as possible.

Personal Injuries
If you or a close family member have
been injured as the result of the
negligence or carelessness of the
operator of a motor vehicle or other
persons, then you may be able to sue for
your "pain and suffering" and permanent
impairment or disability.
Slip and fall
We have had great success in handling
these types of cases so that our clients
have obtained compensation for their
iNJuries. Even when people are careful
and are looking where they are going,
they can slip, trip and fall resulting
in serious bodily iNJury. When that
happens, it often takes an experienced
lawyer with a team of experts
(engineers, architects, and safety
experts) to evaluate and determine the
cause of the fall and locate the liable
party.
Automobile accidents
Recent changes in the insurance laws may
limit your right to bring a claim for
"pain and suffering" in accidents caused
by automobiles. We can help review your
Automobile Liability insurance policy
and explain which coverage you have and
how to avoid limitations on your right
to recover for your damages in the event
of an auto collision. Often a few minor
changes in the Coverage Selection can
make all the difference between being
fairly compensated and not being able to
make a recovery.
Family
When people get married they do so with
the hope that it will last forever, but
the reality is that over 50% of
marriages end up in divorce. With
divorce rates being so high these days,
a competent attorney must be familiar
with family law issues such as
separation, custody, support and
visitation. Many couples, first timers
as well as those who have already been
divorced, are now entering into
Prenuptial Agreements, which can settle
issues before they even come up. We have
experience in negotiating and preparing
such documents.
Restrictive Covenants
A restrictive covenant is a legal
obligation imposed in a deed by the
seller upon the buyer of real estate to
do or not to do something. Such
restrictions frequently "run with the
land" and are enforceable on subsequent
buyers of the property. Examples might
be to maintain a property in a
reasonable state of repair, to preserve
a sight-line for a neighboring property,
not to run a business from a residence,
or not to build on certain parts of the
property.
Estate
At common law, an estate is the
totality of the legal rights, interests,
entitlements and obligations attaching
to property. In the context of wills and
probate, it refers to the totality of
the property which the deceased owned or
in which some interest was held. It may
also refer to an estate in land.
Business Transactions
We recognize that in transactional
matters, time is of the essence. Because
we run our own small business, our
experience lends itself to a
pragmatic approach to your business
objectives. We know how a business runs
and we understand the difference between
a business decision and a legal
decision. Because we have worked with
business owners and managers for years,
we know how to study a problem from a
business perspective. As such, we will
assist you in:
documenting and advising clients in real
estate purchase/sale contracts,
commercial leasing, zoning and municipal
matters; including subdivisions,
variances, special permits, and related
appeals, buying and selling businesses and
business interests; including stock and
asset purchases and sales, management
and leveraged buyouts, and mergers;
management of due diligence
investigations from buyer and seller
perspectives, structuring and documenting
clients' choice of business entity.
Developing alternative forms of
ownership and management of the start-up
entity, including: voting and non-voting
common stock, convertible preferred
stock, warrants and similar rights; and
specialized LLC provisions.

option, employee nondisclosure,
non-competition, and non-solicitation
