• Free Consultation
  We offer free, confidential initial consultations — meetings at which we discuss your case and its prospects. If you are not able to travel, we can bring this meeting to you, whether that means your home or a hospital bedside if necessary.
• Contingent Fees
  We charge a contingency fee which is determined by the New Jersey Supreme Court and set forth in New Jersey Court Rule 1:21-7. We usually do not charge a fee at the beginning of the case. Instead, we are paid with a percentage of the money we recover for you—if you win the case through a successful verdict or settlement. The percentage will always be explained to you before you agree to hire us and will be confirmed in a signed, written Agreement to Provide Legal Services. We will also discuss with you how the expenses incurred in preparing and prosecuting your case are paid and reimbursed.
