Our attorneys are admitted in New Jersey as well as Pennsylvania — not “we know someone there,” but actual admission and active practice on both sides of the river. That matters because New Jersey injury law is genuinely different: its own insurance thresholds, its own notice deadlines for public-entity claims, its own courts. Cross-river cases — a Philadelphian hurt in Camden, a Cherry Hill family hit on I-95 — are our daily geography.

Local Knowledge, Honest Logistics
Three New Jersey rules surprise Pennsylvania clients most: auto policies carry a limitation-on-lawsuit (verbal threshold) election that restricts pain-and-suffering claims much like PA’s limited tort; claims against public entities generally require a notice of claim within 90 days under the NJ Tort Claims Act — far shorter than PA’s six months; and dog-bite liability is strict. Cases proceed in the New Jersey courts (state resources at nj.gov), and we also serve Cherry Hill, Atlantic City, and Newark through dedicated pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a New Jersey lawyer or a Pennsylvania lawyer?
You need a lawyer admitted where your case belongs — and for river-region injuries that’s often a genuinely open question until the facts are analyzed. Our attorneys’ dual admission means the answer doesn’t force you to switch firms.
Is my deadline different in New Jersey?
The general injury statute is two years, but the trap is public-entity claims: New Jersey’s Tort Claims Act generally requires a notice of claim within 90 days. NJ Transit bus, public property, municipal vehicle — call immediately, not eventually.
Do you have an office in New Jersey?
No — and we’d rather tell you that plainly than imply otherwise. Our office is at 11450 Bustleton Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia; we serve New Jersey clients across the river from our Philadelphia office, with remote handling statewide and in-person meetings where cases require them, and by phone, video, and home or hospital visits when injuries make travel hard. Where your lawyer’s desk sits matters far less than where they’re admitted and how they work your case.
My PA auto policy — does it matter for a NJ crash?
Both states’ insurance systems can touch one claim: your PA coverage elections, the NJ driver’s thresholds, and choice-of-law questions interact in ways adjusters won’t explain. Untangling that is step one of every cross-river case we take.
What does hiring you cost?
No attorney’s fee unless we recover for you — the contingency percentage and how case costs are handled are in the written fee agreement you review before signing, and the consultation is free.
