Question 1

Will my case be handled directly by Jared or passed to a junior associate?

Accepted Answer

You will work directly with Jared from start to finish. Unlike larger firms that hand cases off to junior associates after retaining your business, Jared personally manages every aspect of your matter—from initial strategy and document drafting to trial and appeal.

Question 2

Where is your office located, and do you offer virtual consultations?

Accepted Answer

The primary office is located at 50 Harrison Street in Hoboken, New Jersey. In addition to in-person meetings at the office, Jared provides flexible virtual consultations via secure video conferencing for clients across New Jersey or those with demanding schedules.

Question 3

What is the best way to communicate regarding my active legal matter?

Accepted Answer

Clients have a direct line of contact to Jared via direct email and direct phone line. You won't be filtered through administrative gatekeepers or lost in a multi-tier call routing system.

Question 4

What specific practice areas do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

The practice focuses primarily on complex civil litigation, commercial and business disputes, employment law matters (including restrictive covenants and severance), appellate practice, commercial real estate, and select criminal defense matters.

Question 5

Do you handle cases that go all the way to trial and appeal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jared is a seasoned trial attorney equipped to take complex matters through full trial proceedings. Additionally, the firm maintains an active appellate practice to challenge or protect court rulings on appeal.

Question 6

How do you approach pre-suit settlement negotiations versus litigation?

Accepted Answer

Every strategy is customized. Where possible, early strategic negotiations are leveraged to minimize risk and cost. However, if a fair resolution cannot be reached out of court, your case is prepared from day one with the thoroughness required to try it before a judge or jury.

Question 7

How are your legal fees structured?

Accepted Answer

Fee structures depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. Engagements typically operate on an hourly rate, fixed-fee retainer, or contingency arrangement depending on the specific practice area. All fee terms are clearly outlined in writing prior to representation.

Question 8

How do I schedule a consultation, and what format do they take?

Accepted Answer

You can schedule a consultation directly through the website intake form or by phone. Consultations can be conducted in-person at the Hoboken office, virtually over video call, or by phone, depending on your preference and convenience.

Question 9

Does submitting a contact form or booking a call create an attorney-client relationship?

Accepted Answer

No. Reaching out via the website, email, or scheduling an initial discussion does not formally establish an attorney-client relationship. A formal attorney-client relationship is created only after a written engagement agreement is executed by both parties.
