Judy focuses her practice on the defense of complex personal injury and significant property damage actions. With over two decades of experience in defending clients as a senior trial attorney for two major international insurance companies, she has successfully litigated major Labor Law, products liability, elevator, trucking, environmental and premises liability cases through trial. Judy zealously advocates her client’s position while keeping defense costs in mind. She has represented clients ranging from major construction companies, real estate management companies, product manufacturers, distributors, municipalities, hotels and major retailers to small retail chains, pharmacies, and small businesses. Judy strongly believes that a high quality defense can be provided in a cost effective manner. To that end, she regularly meets with clients to fully understand their business needs and develop a resolution strategy that includes dispositive motions, pursuing risk transfer, mediations, and trials. She understands the importance of pre-litigation investigation and the early retention of experts, which can be key to mounting a successful defense. In addition to her position as a senior trial attorney, she was a Labor Law Team Leader for AIG Staff Counsel, providing insight and supervision to the Labor Law attorneys, and conducting seminars. During her sixteen years at AIG, Judy was tapped to become the Head of the Property Subrogation Practice Group and established the subrogation practice in New York and California. Prior to her tenure at AIG, she was a senior trial attorney for Zurich North America, where she successfully defended medical malpractice, Labor Law, premises liability, motor vehicle and major property damage cases. While at Zurich, Judy created and managed the subrogation practice involving fire loss, building collapse, explosions, water damage, legal fee and worker’s compensation lien recovery, and nofault loss transfer. Judy was recognized throughout the company for her expertise in the field of no-fault loss transfer. Prior to her defense practice, Judy spent fourteen years as a plaintiff’s attorney for two major plaintiff’s firms, concentrating her practice on Labor Law, medical malpractice, premises liability, and trucking accidents. Her unique insight into how the other side thinks has made her a firm believer in the “know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em” strategy when resolving cases.

Carlye L. Goldstein is a partner at O’Cathain Law Group, LLC, where she practices family law. Carlye handles all areas of family and matrimonial law, from pre-nuptial agreements through divorce and into post-judgment matters. Known for her skilled writing ability, Carlye is primarily responsible within the firm for overseeing appellate briefs and the legal memoranda submitted in heavy-duty motions. While handling her own caseload of divorce cases, Carlye also handles all domestic violence cases within the firm. Domestic violence is one of the few areas of family law that involves regular trial appearances, and she has extensive experience doing that. Before Carlye entered private practice, she spent two years as a staff attorney at Partners for Women & Justice, a 501(c)(3) charity that provides legal advice to the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Carlye’s practice at O’Cathain Law Group, LLC continues to help the victims of domestic violence and people who have been wrongly blamed for domestic violence. The outcome of a domestic violence trial has a significant impact on the parenting time, custody, relocation, and visitation issues that arise in a regular divorce. Her experience in handling the domestic violence part of a divorce has given her clients the reassurance they need to focus on getting the best result for themselves and their families in the overall divorce. Carlye’s commitment to legal advocacy to the underserved began while she was a student at Seton Hall Law School where she was a member of the Courtroom Advocates Project. In addition, she was a member of the Seton Hall Center for Social Justice which submitted an amicus curiae brief to the New Jersey Supreme Court to advocate against the discoverability of immigration status in civil cases. When not discussing work at the office, Carlye will always be available to offer ideas about house remodeling with a family, what treats should be given to dogs, and what whiskey is best left unopened. O’Cathain Law Group and our clients are privileged to have her as a partner at the firm.

Domhnall (Donny) Ó’Catháin is a New Jersey trial lawyer. He has helped his clients secure tens of millions of dollars for the injuries and economic losses they have suffered from the negligence of corporations and careless people. Donny litigates personal injury cases in state court and in federal court. So far in 2024, Donny won settlements for clients such as $170,000 for an uber crash; $300,000 for rear end car crash with surgery; $375,000 for trip and fall on stairs; and $875,000 for leg and ankle fractures caused by a negligent forklift driver. In 2017, his clients (a wife and her husband) won the largest dental malpractice jury verdict in New Jersey in a case where the defendant refused to make any offers. In 2019, his client won a $1.2 million dollar jury verdict in a case where the bus company’s final offer was $200,000. During the pandemic, he tried four virtual jury trials. Three of those cases resulted in verdicts for his clients that were more than twice the final offer by the defense. In the fourth case, the defense moved from a never-pay position to a six-figure settlement before closing statements. He has many seven figure settlements in trucking crash cases and medical malpractice cases. Most of those cases settled shortly before trial. Firms throughout the tristate area refer cases to him and other New Jersey plaintiff firms bring him in as trial counsel when a case cannot be settled. Many clients have come to him because he has been recommended by lawyers who have gone against him. Donny considers this to be a privilege and is honored to pay referring attorneys a referral fee pursuant to the New Jersey Rules of Court. Donny was born and raised in Ballincollig, Co. Cork, Ireland. He has lived in New Jersey since 2004. He and his wife – and law partner – Francesca O’Cathain, reside in Hillsdale with their three children, their dog, and whatever other dog(s) their children have smuggled into the house. When he is not with his family or at his desk, he is probably just thinking about cross-examining his next defense witness.
