Significant Recent Decisions
- Matters most recently before various judicial tribunals and courts of which we are most proud include the pro bono representation of a juvenile defendant without immigration credentials, resulting in a guilty plea to an ordinance violation thereby avoiding any jeopardy to a still unresolved immigration status but particularly in light of the apparent antiimmigration enforcement presently in place.
- The Law Firm has also represented a civil litigant resulting in a favorable disposition as a result of advocacy addressed by the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division and their consideration of the Entire Controversy Rule.
- In the area of Domestic Violence, a wife engaged the Law Firm as a result of allegations brought against her by her former husband. After a lengthy trial, the wife was exonerated and the former husband was found fully culpable. The matter is presently being appealed by the former husband.
- Another State of New Jersey, Law Division (Criminal) litigation charging sexual assault, the Law Firm argued in a pretrial motion that certain alleged CSAAS (Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome expert testimony ought properly be excluded in light of the Supreme Court of New Jersey’s consideration in State of New Jersey -vs- Juan L. Gil, c-653, September Term 2016 078718. The trial court denied this request for relief and an interlocutory appeal was then taken to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division. The Appellate Division initially declined said interlocutory appeal but up”on a motion for reconsideration, accepted the interlocutory appeal and ruled that the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division not be permitted to receive said alleged expert testimony unless and until a ruling by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
