We have represented both lawyers and judges at hearings before the Supreme Court of New Jersey and various Supreme Court Committees, including District Ethics Committees, the Disciplinary Review Board, the Committee on Character, and the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct. We have also advised other attorneys and law firms regarding ethics matters and the interpretation of the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Code of Judicial Conduct; we have provided opinions and guidance concerning legal malpractice cases; and we have rendered advice regarding the intricacies of the practice of law on an interstate basis. In addition to handling legal malpractice matters, our lawyers also assist other counsel in the preparation, prosecution and defense of such claims.
We have represented attorneys in actions by former clients and third parties seeking to recover for negligence; violations of federal and state securities laws, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), the Civil Rights Act and various local laws; and intentional torts, such as fraud, libel and slander, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, and interference with contractual relationships. The diverse nature of our Firm's practice and the experience of our attorneys in the area of attorney liability enable us to present the most effective defense in a cost-efficient manner.
Our approach is to recognize problems as early as possible and to formulate a defensive strategy to resolve those problems in a manner consistent with the needs and desires of our clients. Our broad practice base, experience, and our long-standing relationships with various experts allow us to readily investigate and conduct discovery in the underlying case, thereby mounting an effective defense to the malpractice claim.
