Top Attorneys In New Jersey (NJ Monthly - April 2008 and April 2009)
We're proud to have been selected by New Jersey Monthly as SuperLawyers, one of only ten NJ Top Attorneys in the elder law category. That honor is limited to less than 5% of New Jersey attorneys. Attorneys savor this accomplishment for the recognition by both potential clients and fellow attorneys who can count on this expertise.
