History
Our firm began its existence in 1977 in New Brunswick, NJ. Since that time, the firm has grown to more than eighty lawyers with offices throughout the region. In 1989, we purchased the present offices of the firm at 40 Paterson Street from Rutgers University. The building used to be the Mason Gross School of the Arts.
