introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
Two sisters fighting over their late mother's money where one sister claimed that she spent money on mom and wanted to be reimbursed off the top while the other sister disputed those charges. After a full three day trial, the court determined that the sister's claim for those expenses were largely unproven and could only be substantiated by a small amount.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?Honesty, integrity responsiveness and experience in the specific area of the law.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?The courts in northern New Jersey where I practice are all quite good and fair and they do not show favoritism for local attorneys.
