Description:

This is a strategic hire. We are looking for an attorney who is not only passionate about defending individuals in criminal matters, but who also has a secondary interest or background in labor law, particularly representing union members in disciplinary matters, grievances, and quasi-criminal or administrative investigations.

Whether you're an attorney looking to elevate your courtroom presence or someone craving mentorship, meaningful work, and a stable long-term home, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding career inside a respected established practice.

What You'll Do Criminal Defense

Handle a full range of criminal matters from disorderly persons to indictable offenses
Appear regularly in municipal and Superior Courts throughout New Jersey
Conduct legal research, draft motions, negotiate resolutions, and take matters to hearing or trial
Provide steady communication, clear strategy, and confident advocacy to clients facing difficult circumstances

Labor / Union Member Representation (Preferred but Not Required)

Represent individual union members (primarily public-sector employees) in:
Disciplinary hearings
Investigatory interviews
PERC-related matters
Internal investigations and quasi-criminal administrative proceedings
Work closely with our labor law and litigation teams to advise on strategy, rights, and procedural protections

Who You Are:
You are the right fit if you:

Are admitted to practice in New Jersey
Have 1–7 years of experience in criminal defense, government, prosecution, or judicial clerkship
Are comfortable in the courtroom — or eager to get comfortable fast
Communicate well with clients and treat them with respect and professionalism
Can manage deadlines, court dates, and fast-moving files
Work well within a system and appreciate structure, process, and accountability
Want to learn, grow, and develop within a team that values high-quality advocacy
