No ranked firm matches every pick.
We score every Essex County firm on the same public facts, from official records and each firm's own website, so you can compare them before you call. Here is each check, why it matters when you're choosing a firm, and what we found. The points add up to a score out of 100 that compares these firms with each other, so a lower score isn't a failing grade.
Lawyers the New Jersey Supreme Court has certified in civil trial law
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.
In Newark: 4 of 10 firms have one, confirmed by the Board on Attorney Certification's published lists.
How much of the firm handles injury cases
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.
In Newark: 6 of 10 firms list only lawyers who handle injury cases. At 2, fewer than half do.
Settlements and verdicts the firm chose to post
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.
In Newark: 6 of 10 firms post at least one on their website.
Ways to reach the firm that its website lists
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.
In Newark: 6 of 10 firms list a phone line answered around the clock.
Whether its website explains who pays case costs
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.
In Newark: 1 of 10 firms explains who pays case costs on its website.
Injury lawsuits it has filed and resolved in the county
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.
In Newark: Not in for any firm yet.
How long its lead lawyers have practiced
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.
In Newark: Bios give a New Jersey admission year at 4 of 10 firms, so it sits out of every score until all of them do.
An office address on its own website, and no public discipline in the last 5 years in New Jersey's records. A firm without both isn't ranked.
Reviews, ads, awards or money. Reviews are easy to game, and no firm can pay to change its rank.
The top 3 among the firms that list each kind of case on their own website, by score out of 100, with how many results of that kind each firm posts (firm-reported). Where a case type has its own ranking, that ranking sets the order and the score.
Every number, with its source, for when you want the detail.
Ranked on partial data. Essex County court data isn't in for any firm yet. Each score counts only the measures that firm has data for.

Open the take-home calculatorWe rank law firms, not individual lawyers. As of November 8, 2026, Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq has the highest score of the 10 Newark injury firms we ranked, 91 out of 100, followed by Brach Eichler at 84 and Davis, Saperstein & Salomon at 79. The best fit for you depends on your case, so compare each firm's checks before you call.
We score every firm on the same 4 public facts: certified civil trial attorneys, how much of its work is injury law, the results it posts and ways to reach it. They come from official records and each firm's own website, each with its source and the date we checked it. The points add up to a score out of 100, and the highest score ranks first. A firm whose injury lawyers have public discipline in the last 5 years isn't ranked, and no firm can pay to change its rank.
Most Newark injury lawyers work on contingency, so the fee comes out of any recovery. New Jersey Court Rule 1:21-7 caps the fee at 33⅓% of the first $750,000. Only 2 of the 15 Newark injury firms we checked publish their fee online.
As of November 8, 2026, 6 of the 10 ranked Newark firms list a 24/7 phone line, including Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, P.C., Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers and Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C.. These are firm-reported, and we haven't tested the lines yet.
Usually 2 years after the injury, under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2(a). Claims against a public entity need written notice within 90 days, under N.J.S.A. 59:8-8.
No. Counselworthy scores firms only on public measures, and the scoring code can't see who pays. Any featured spot is labeled and sits outside the ranked list.
