Administrative Law

Our attorneys have handled a wide variety of administrative applications and disputes; ranging from ordinary corporate representation, in licensure or other matters, to defending licensees (businesses or individuals) charged with administrative violations, to complaining of conduct by licensees. These services have involved agencies as diverse as the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and its predecessors, the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, NJPERS, the New Jersey Department of Education, and others, in addition to a number of federal agency matters. We have also appeared before local boards, such as zoning, planning and town council meetings. Our attorneys have also represented administrative bodies (local and, in one matter, federal), either in their hearing capacities, such as acting as counsel to zoning and planning boards, or (in the case of the federal agency, and in connection with land use appeals) in the agencies' roles as litigants; and we have represented public and private entities in disputes with administrative agencies.

Employment Matters

Our attorneys have significant experience appearing before administrative tribunals such as the Office of Administrative Law as well as at the municipal level representing clients at Departmental Hearings.

Most often this representation takes place when a state or municipal employee has been charged with wrongdoing and is faced with disciplinary action which could include suspension or even termination. In such cases our representation can begin at the municipal or departmental level and continue on in the Office of Administrative Law and if necessary the Appellate Division. We also have experience counseling employees who are part of the State of New Jersey (PERS) retirement system as well as before the Department of Labor or the EEOC.
