Click on the links to the left to learn about our areas of expertise. Collectively our lawyers have represented an extremely diverse group of clients, from across the country and from communities across New Jersey and New York, in criminal, regulatory and civil litigation matters, in New Jersey and New York state and federal trial and appellate courts and in arbitrations.

We have represented multi-national and domestic corporations, both publicly- and privately-held, ranging across economic sectors.  These have included securities and financial services companies such as broker-dealers, investment advisers, investment banks, insurance companies, and mortgage brokers; pharmaceutical companies, industrial manufacturers, construction firms, waste haulers, franchisees, telecommunications and biotech firms; charitable organizations; law firms; oil companies; national retail chains; medical groups; and many others.

We just as often represent individual officers, directors and employees of these entities, as well as licensed professionals including attorneys, doctors, accountants, engineers, individual brokers and investment advisers, and numerous other individuals.

Our clients have also included federal, state and local agencies and their officials and employees; county prosecutor offices; municipal entities; labor unions and union officials; law enforcement officers of all rank including federal agents, state police, police unions and their elected officers, county prosecutor detectives, county sheriffs, corrections officers and municipal officers; and elected and appointed state, county and municipal officials, including Superior Court Judges.

We also devote significant time to pro bono representation of criminal defendants, including work as amicus curiae under the auspices of the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of New Jersey (ACDL-NJ). Firm partner John C. Whipple is former President and current Trustee of the ACDL-NJ, and firm partner John Azzarello is a Trustee of the ACDL-NJ.
