Mr. Forrester is a founding member of the firm presently constituted as Perrotta, Fraser, Forrester, LLC. He has practiced in a wide range of areas after being admitted to the bar in 1990 having also worked as a law clerk for the Essex County law firm of Lum, Danzis, Drasco, Positan & Kleinberg, LLC.

In the area of personal injury litigation, Mr. Forrester was responsible for representation of a paraplegic involved in a construction site accident which resulted in a settlement valued at over $8.5 million dollars, the seventh highest settlement in the state of New Jersey for that year. He is experienced in plaintiffs' medical malpractice litigation, Tort Claims Act litigation, automobile litigation including UM and UIM claims, declaratory judgment actions, workers' compensation; and representation of a police officer in the defense of an excessive use of force and unlawful imprisonment claim pursuant to Section 1983.
Mr. Forrester was recently in the news for major personal injury settlements he achieved for our clients.
