Soon after growing out from under Jerry's wing, the New Jersey Supreme Court saw fit to formally Certify me as a Civil Trial Attorney, a designation held by less than three (3%) percent of all lawyers presently licensed to practice in this State, and one which I've had the honor and privilege of holding for the last fourteen (14) years running.
So I went to work in that capacity as the senior civil trial associate for a firm that handled a high volume of serious personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, auto accidents, burn injury cases and wrongful death actions. During my four (4) year tenure there, I was responsible for the successful management and resolution of a rolling inventory of 100 or more cases per year, earning "Best Producer" and "Top Grossing Associate" awards from my employers in the process.
But despite my success in and out of the courtroom, I gradually became dissatisfied with my ability to deliver a consistently high level of quality and care to each and every client. You see, the more volume that a lawyer has to handle, the more difficult it can become to avoid having clients and their concerns get filtered or lost in a maze of case screeners, secretaries, paralegals and associates. So I started my own practice in order to sharpen my focus on fewer clients, give them my undivided attention, and try to do their cases justice.
