About Stephen
Stephen P. DeNittis is a named shareholder with Shabel & DeNittis, P.C. An experienced consumer fraud class action litigator and catastrophic personal injury litigator, Mr. DeNittis has recovered millions of dollars for victims of severe injury or corporate fraud in federal and state courts across the country. He currently serves as lead or co-lead counsel in many class actions currently pending in federal and state court.
Mr. DeNittis' notable cases include Ingling v. Ryder Truck Rental, where he obtained a $7 million dollar settlement on behalf a client who suffered a devastating brain injury as a result of a slip and fall that occurred in a parking lot in 2005. The settlement was recognized by The New Jersey Law Journal as the largest slip and fall settlement in the State of New Jersey for the year 2007.
Since 1998, Mr. DeNittis has served as lead or co-lead counsel in many class actions in consumer fraud, false advertising, construction defect, wage and hour violations and mass tort litigation throughout the country. The numerous class actions include France v. Merrill Lynch, where Mr. DeNittis is serving as co-lead counsel in a wage an hour violation action and obtained preliminary approval of a $43.5 million settlement on behalf of a class of 23,000 Merrill Lynch stockbrokers which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon.
In 2005, Mr. DeNittis was lead counsel in DeMarco v. National Collector's Mint where he obtained a $9 million dollar settlement on behalf of 176,000 class members who were defrauded in purchasing a fake coin allegedly issued by the U.S. Mint to commemorate the "9/11" Terrorist Attack. The case was a matter of first impression in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the Hobby Protection Act 15 U.S.C. § 2101(b) and is now a published opinion in the Federal Reporters. 229 F.R.D. 73 (S.D.N.Y. 2005).
Mr. DeNittis has substantial trial experience as well. He was plaintiffs' trial counsel in Barkers v. Public Service Electric and Gas (PSEG) where he obtained an order for PSEG to install excess flow valves or place cement protective bollards to approximately 2,800 residential and commercial gas meter sets located throughout the State of New Jersey. PSE&G negligently placed meters in a dangerous condition, in close proximity to persons' driveways, garage doors or parking areas. As a result of Mr. DeNittis' efforts in the case, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities proposed and adopted new rules and regulations in December of 2004 prohibiting any new or existing gas meters from being installed in the State of New Jersey within 3 feet of any garage door, driveway or parking area. Mr. DeNittis was also co-lead and principal trial counsel in Schmoll v. J.S. Hovnanian, a class action that settled after four days of trial which resulted in J.S. Hovnanian repairing a construction defect found in 995 homes in the Holiday East development in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.
He is admitted to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and before the United States Supreme Court and many other federal courts. He is rated AV, the highest rating given by Martindale Hubbell, the country's foremost legal directory. He has also been named a "New Jersey Rising Star" by Law and Politics Magazine and New Jersey Monthly from 2006 thru 2009 where he was recognized in the top 2.5% of attorneys practicing in New Jersey under the age of forty years old.
