We have more six figure dog bite recoveries than any lawyer or law firm in New Jersey. We know the value of dog bite cases. We know the insurance companies and they know us.

We’ll do the work, you focus on healing

You’ve been through enough. Let us take over from here. As soon as you hire us we begin
by notifying the dog owner of our representation. They provide our information to their
insurance company.

We provide them with the information they need to open their file. Every case is diaried for
6 months to do a settlement demand. During that time we gather important documents like the police report, medical records, medical lien info and updated photos. Many of our cases settle between 6-9 months. If your case does not settle, we are uniquely qualified to litigate it to conclusion if necessary.
