West Milford, New Jersey

McLaughlin and Nardi’s New Jersey attorneys provide legal services in West Milford, New Jersey, located in northern Passaic County. We advocate for West Milford residents and businesses in variety of legal matters.

We solve problems for people and businesses. We believe that the best way to solve problems is to avoid them in the first place by prior planning.  A good contract is a business’s best defense in a lawsuit, and the best contract will protect our clients’ interests and prevent conflicts from arising at all.  Likewise, a good estate plan will ensure that people’s assets will go to those whom they intend with the least tax burden possible.  A good lease is the best way to avoid disputes between landlords and tenants.

When disputes do arise, we believe that if a negotiated agreement which protects our clients’ interests is possible, it should be explored.  This will save the time and expense of litigation, and may be preferable if it meets our clients’ needs.  Our attorneys have negotiated resolutions to many seemingly intractable disputes. 

Inevitably, however, some disputes cannot be resolved, or cannot be resolved in a acceptable agreement.  When this happens, we litigate fiercely on our clients’ behalf. Our litigators have decades of experience fighting for our clients’ rights
