Choosing a law firm in East Brunswick

The New Jersey Courts keep a public attorney index showing whether a lawyer is eligible to practice and listing any discipline recorded by the court's Office of Attorney Ethics — check it before hiring, and note that the New Jersey State Bar Association is a separate voluntary group, not the licensing authority. Ask how often the firm appears before the Middlesex County Superior Court in matters like yours, and confirm who will actually handle your file. Settle the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing before work starts, and ask what costs are billed separately.
