About John
Mr. Zidziunas has owned and operated the Firm since forming it in 2009. He concentrates his practice in all aspects of employment law litigation with a focus on sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation, pregnancy and disability discrimination, and all other areas of employment law and civil rights violations. Mr. Zidziunas has experience in all phases of complex civil litigation, both state and federal, and has successfully tried cases to a conclusion from both a plaintiff and defendant’s perspective. Mr. Zidziunas also has an extensive background in the area of contract litigation.
Prior to opening his own practice, Mr. Zidziunas was an associate with a large law firm. During that time, Mr. Zidziunas tried, arbitrated and settled numerous cases in the areas of employment litigation, civil rights and insurance disputes. He has since tried several cases to verdict, and succeeded in numerous arbitrations and obtained high value settlements for his clients.
While in law school, Mr. Zidziunas was a Member of the Moot Court Honor Society and represented Seton Hall Law’s Interscholastic Moot Court Board in a national constitutional law tournament at the University of Wisconsin, finishing as a quarterfinalist. Mr. Zidziunas was a law clerk to the Honorable Barbara A. Curran, J.S.C., in the Civil Division of Hudson County. He also served as an intern with the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office. Prior to attending law school, John was a corporate and securities law paralegal with Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in New York City. Aside from his trial advocacy skills, Mr. Zidziunas is frequently retained to draft employment agreements, handbooks, non-compete / non-solicitation agreements, and privacy agreements for large corporations and startups.
Mr. Zidziunas is a volunteer for A Walk on Water, a non-profit charity dedicated to providing ocean therapy for children with special needs. He is also a Board member and labor law advisor to the Montclair Foundation/Van Vleck House & Gardens, which supports local health, educational and cultural organizations in need.
