Maria Blancato

I clerked for a Union County judge in the civil division in Union County to start my career. I then had the pleasure to learn criminal trial litigation at the Somerset County Prosecutors Office for nearly four years.

Over the last twenty years my practice has focused on helping individuals in workers compensation litigation, personal injury litigation, social security disability and municipal and juvenile court matters.

I work with people who need my help. I would be honored if you gave me the opportunity to help you.
