  • Certified trial attorneysLawyers the New Jersey Supreme Court has certified in civil trial lawNone confirmed by the Board's published lists
    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Says who pays case costsWhether its website explains who pays case costsToo few firms in this county say it to tell them apart, so it counts for none of them here
    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 would show how often a firm's injury cases reach the county court, from the court's own records rather than the firm's ads.

Who handles injury cases at Schreck Personal Injury Lawyers

From Schreck Personal Injury Lawyers's website, including the year each bio says the attorney was admitted in New Jersey.

Has Schreck Personal Injury Lawyers taken cases to the appeals court?

An appeal is when one side asks a higher court to review a court's final decision for legal errors. Each decision names the lawyers on both sides, so it shows which firms do this courtroom work.

What this tells you

  • We found none. Most cases end without a trial, so having none isn't a mark against a firm.
  • 19 of the 43 firms we checked have at least one in these years.
  • It doesn't tell you who won, or whether a case was about an injury. Ask the firm about cases like yours, and how often it goes to trial.

  5. How many cases like mine have you taken to a jury verdict?
  6. How often will I hear from you, and how many cases does that lawyer carry?
Walk away if a firm

  • quotes more than 33⅓%, or takes its fee before costs
