I. DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW "Matrimonial actions are unique types of litigation. While people in litigation are people in conflict, people in matrimonial litigation are involved in conflicts that go to the very roots of their existence." -G. Skoloff & L. Cutler, "New Jersey Family Law Practice" (10th Ed. 2001) We agree with the above and it is our sincere hope that our services can help you get through this part of your life. We regularly appear in New Jersey Family Courts for applications and responses in connection with divorce, custody, visitation rights, child support, alimony and equitable distribution of property acquired during the marriage. Where circumstances warrant, we also handle uncontested divorces and preparation and review of marital agreements. We understand the difficulties that families in crisis endure and pledge to help our clients through these times. II. NEGLIGENCE AND ACCIDENTS Negligence is the failure to use that degree of care, precaution and vigilance, which a reasonably prudent person would use under the same or similar circumstances. It includes both affirmative acts, which a reasonably prudent person would not have done and the omission of acts or precautions which a reasonably prudent person would have done or taken in the circumstances. -Model Jury Charges - Civil Our law firm practices extensively in the area of plaintiff's negligence. That is, we seek monetary awards and settlements for individuals who are injured as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of others, including casinos, property owners, hotels, truckers, bus operators, manufacturers, hospitals and nursing homes, builders and contractors and many other businesses. We handle claims involving motor vehicle accidents (including hit-and-runs), defective products, falls (including unsafe floors, steps, sidewalks and icy conditions), fires, animal attacks, amusement park rides, inadequate security, wrongful death and many other claims that are attributable to fault of others. Additionally, we represent individuals who have been injured at work regardless of fault. We provide free consultations and offer contingent fees (no fee charged unless we are successful in recovering money). Our practice also includes representation for other areas of general practice. You may send us an email to inquire as to whether we can address an area of law that is important to you. In addition to our local clientele, we also represent many individuals who are not residents of the State of New Jersey and who have had contact with this state by visiting our casinos, beaches, resorts, etc. Our law offices are in the Atlantic City area, but we appear in all the courts in the State of New Jersey, including the United States District Court for New Jersey. We also welcome referrals by other attorneys who practice law in another state who wish to share in the representation of their clients who have legal claims in this state. We welcome the opportunity to confer with you about legal issues you may have here in New Jersey.
