The Brief

Affidavit of Merit
in 60 days.

Under N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-27, every NJ medical malpractice case requires an Affidavit of Merit from a like-credentialed expert within 60 days of the answer (with one possible 60-day extension). Miss the deadline and the case is dismissed. We retain the expert before we file.

Practice

Expert work begins before the complaint.

We don't file a malpractice complaint without an expert in hand. The AoM deadline is unforgiving, and the courts dismiss for missed deadlines without mercy. Our pre-filing diligence is what protects the case.

NJ · FAQ

What clients ask first.

How do I know if I have a case?

A malpractice case requires a deviation from the standard of care that proximately caused injury. We obtain the records, have them reviewed by an expert, and tell you honestly whether the case meets the standard. No-fee review.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.

How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?

Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
