Jeffrey Pechow

I dedicate my practice to defending workers’ compensation matters. I have extensive experience handling all types of workers’ compensation claims from inception through trial. I regularly appear in workers’ compensation court statewide and often deals with complex issues in workers’ compensation including third-party subrogation litigation, fraud and Section 40 lien rights.

I also focus on a professional malpractice defense and the representation of attorneys and insurance brokers, agents and other licensed professionals.

Prior to joining the firm, I practiced at the Law Office of John J. Feczko, PC for over ten years and accumulated significant general practice experience while practicing in New Jersey’s civil, municipal and workers’ compensation courts.
