- Certified trial attorneysLawyers the New Jersey Supreme Court has certified in civil trial lawNone confirmed by the Board's published lists0 / 20
Why it matters
Most cases settle, but a case that doesn't is decided at trial. A certified trial lawyer is the clearest public sign a firm can try one. It doesn't tell you who would handle your case, so ask.
- Lawyers doing injury workHow much of the firm handles injury cases100% of the lawyers it lists · source20 / 20
Why it matters
A firm whose lawyers mostly handle injury cases does this work every day. A firm with many lawyers in other fields can still have a strong injury team, so ask who would handle yours.
- Results it postsSettlements and verdicts the firm chose to post3 on its site, largest $3,600,000 (firm-reported) · see them8.7 / 15
Why it matters
It shows the firm takes injury cases to a finish and says so in public. The firm picks which ones to post, so it shows what it has won, not how often it wins.
- Contact optionsWays to reach the firm that its website lists24/7 line, chat, evening or weekend hours and Spanish. · source10 / 10
Why it matters
It shows the ways the firm says you can reach it when a question comes up. It doesn't tell you how fast anyone answers, so ask who you'd talk to.
- Says who pays case costsWhether its website explains who pays case costsDoesn't say on its site · source0 / 5
Why it matters
Case costs, like filing and expert fees, are separate from the fee. A firm that explains who pays them, including when a case is lost, lets you compare before you sign.

Why it matters
It tells you whether senior or newer lawyers lead the firm's injury work. It tells you how long they have practiced, not how well.
