Dealing with our legal system can be a complicated and frightening process with your rights, livelihood or health at stake. Don't go it alone.
Whether you are injured in an automobile collision, a fall, an accident at work or by a defective product, or if you are being prosecuted for driving while intoxicated (DUI) or another serious traffic offense — any of these matters can affect your life, your family, your job or financial situation. At the Essex County DUI and accident law firm of Michael L. Pescatore in Verona, New Jersey, I focus my 20 years of educational background, experience and success in the courtroom toward one goal — protecting your rights and interests.
