Suburban Essex County Top Trial Attorneys
What differentiates me from other Essex County accident attorneys? - Simple. At the Law Firm of Michael L. Pescatore, you are not just a "file number," but a person whose life is being effected by a serious legal problem. I never forget this important fact... As a result, I take full responsibility for your case. You are the top priority, so your matter is never delegated to staff or an associate attorney. I personally return all of your telephone calls, answer all of your questions and advise you. I also perform and oversee all preparation of your case, and make all court appearances before judges and juries.
My approach toward the law and your case? -- I have always believed that "...the best defense is a good offense." In this regard, I am well-known as a very prepared and aggressive trial attorney who believes that most clients want a positive result that is efficiently and quickly achieved so that they are properly compensated, their rights preserved and their lives not negatively affected. When legal matters are "dragged out" or prolonged, this is never in the client's interest because it is time consuming and interferes with your life. That is why I make all efforts to prevent this from happening...
Being a trial attorney is like being a bodyguard - you are hiring me to protect you, and my offices will make all efforts toward achieving this goal. I am available weekdays by appointment, including evening hours, as well as Saturdays by appointment.
In particular, I have appeared in the Municipal Courts of Verona, Cedar Grove, Bloomfield, Montclair, Caldwell, West Caldwell, Fairfield, Newark, Paterson, West Paterson and Wayne -- to name just a few.
