We never forget that you are placing your trust and faith in our capacity to help you get the best possible outcome to resolve your case. That's why we don't settle for anything less than giving you our best professional effort. And you shouldn't settle for anything less from your lawyer.

Our lawyers understand that the best way to present your case to juries is in an auditory-visual manner, appealing to both sight and sound of jurors. The old world of lawyers just droning on and on to juries and judges has passed and effective persuasion using today's technological tools available is the only way to win personal injury cases in the way they should be won.

Before you pick an attorney, make sure the attorney is willing to go to trial and has the support and staffing readily available if insurance companies are unwilling to pay fair money.

Areas of Law

Areas of Law Description

- Bankruptcy

No one should insult your intelligence by assuming that you have not explored every alternative to bankruptcy that might work for you when you face more debt than you can repay under your individual circumstances. At the New Jersey bankruptcy law firm of Scura, Mealey, Wigfield & Heyer, LLP, our bankruptcy attorneys have helped many people explore options, and they have helped many of them file for bankruptcy: Chapter 7 (often called "debt discharge" bankruptcy because most or all consumer debt can usually be wiped out through Chapter 7) and Chapter 13 (by which a debtor repays a portion of accumulated debts over a specified period of time).

- Personal Injury

We have extensive trial experience in all areas of personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including: motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, slip and fall injuries, defective products, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical injuries, nursing home injuries, construction site accidents and third part liability and serious dog bites.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

In New Jersey, each car, truck or motorcycle on the road must carry liability insurance. If you cause an accident, your insurance company will defend you and compensate the injured person to a certain extent. If the other driver caused the motor vehicle accident, the other insurance company is expected to do the same. Unfortunately, in the case of uninsured and underinsured drivers, it means you will have to file against your own policy for damages. The personal injury action seeking compensation for the injuries is known as a tort.

- Employment Law

Our trial attorneys represent workers who have legitimate civil rights claims against their employers, including wrongful termination or discrimination, such as: age discrimination, sex discrimination, race and religious discrimination, harassment, illegal firing, ADA violations and unpaid overtime and illegal wage practices. Where you sense that you have been discriminated against in the workplace or treated unfairly by an employer for any reason, you may have a claim. Please keep in mind that there are strict time periods within which you have to bring certain claims depending upon the situation.
