Our attorneys are problem  solvers.  We help people and businesses plan so that they can plan and avoid problems without the time and expense of litigation.  However, our lawyers are prepared to litigate in state and federal court, and in arbitration, to fight for clients’ rights, and we have built up a record of success doing so. Our main goal is to achieve the best outcomes possible in a cost-effective way which best suits our clients’ needs.

Sometimes problems that arise cannot be solved simply through planning to avoid them. Some issues need further attention, such as solving the problems through litigation or negotiations. Our attorneys fight aggressively in order to protect our client’s rights. Our attorneys also have decades of experience with mediation. In fact, the Superior Court of New Jersey has appointed Maurice McLaughlin as a mediator to resolve many cases there.

Our attorneys also serve people with other legal services such as, Chapter 7 and 13 Bankruptcy protection and criminal record expungements. We will help relieve our clients of their debt and help productive citizens clear their records of past criminal convictions. We will also file construction liens for unpaid contractors.
