About

A free directory of New Jersey law firms, with guides in plain English.

One calm place to see real New Jersey firms by practice area and county, and contact them directly.

Why we built it

Finding a lawyer usually means wading through ads, lead forms and look-alike sites that all say the same thing. It is hard to tell who is a real firm and who is collecting your details to sell.

We wanted one calm place to see real New Jersey firms side by side, organized by practice area and county, with a direct line to each one.

How firms get listed

We start from public information: firm websites and New Jersey court and bar records. We check addresses, phone numbers and practice areas before a listing goes live, and we re-check them periodically.

Firms can claim their listing to correct details or add photos.

How we make money

Case Matchers is free for people searching. Firms may pay for advertising placements, and any paid placement is always labeled "Sponsored".

Paying never changes the information we publish about a firm. We don't take a cut of legal fees and we don't get paid when someone hires a firm.

What we are not

We are not a law firm and not a lawyer referral service. We don't recommend a specific lawyer or match you with one, and nothing on this site is legal advice.

Read the full attorney advertising disclaimer.

Our guides

Our guides are written in plain English and sourced to New Jersey statutes, courts and state agencies. Each one shows a "last reviewed" date, and we update them when the law changes.

Practical tips for choosing a lawyer

  1. 01

    Look for NJ certification

    The New Jersey Supreme Court certifies attorneys in fields such as Civil Trial, Matrimonial and Criminal Trial law. Certification is not required, but it means the lawyer met extra experience and testing standards.

  2. 02

    Get the fee terms in writing

    Ask how the lawyer charges: hourly, flat fee or contingency. For a contingency case, ask what percentage applies and how costs are handled. New Jersey requires written fee agreements in many matters.

  3. 03

    Ask who will handle your case

    The person you meet at the consultation may not be the one doing the daily work. Ask who will, and how you will reach them.

  4. 04

    Check the lawyer's standing

    The New Jersey Courts attorney index shows whether a lawyer is licensed and in good standing to practice in the state.

  5. 05

    Watch your deadlines

    Most New Jersey personal injury claims must be filed within two years. Other matters have shorter limits, and claims against public entities need notice within 90 days. Do not wait.

  6. 06

    Bring your documents

    Take letters, contracts, police reports, photos and a short timeline to the consultation. You will get a more useful answer in less time.
