New Jersey Attorneys Practice Areas

A lawyer’s ability to represent your case depends to a great extent on his or her familiarity with similar cases, court decisions, and related legal theories regarding personal injury law.  For this reason, it is essential that you choose an attorney familiar with New Jersey’s legal decisions, as well as its regulations regarding the filing process, time limits, damage types, etc.

Arbitration and mediation are types of alternate dispute resolution (ADR) and serve as options to litigation in court. Each utilizes a neutral third party to assist the parties in resolving their disputes without court intervention.  Although similar, there are subtle differences between the two. For example, in mediation the mediator’s role is to aid the parties in attempting to obtain a mutually acceptable settlement. An arbitrator, on the other hand, has the power to render a decision.  A mediator is a facilitator whereas an arbitrator is a decision maker.
