Professional Negligence/Malpractice Litigation

MARC has extensive experience in defending individuals and companies against professional negligence / malpractice claims across a wide range of fields. We understand that a professional's reputation is his or her most valuable asset. MARC attorneys strive to find creative means to avoid litigation and adverse publicity through the use of alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation. These alternatives often result in early resolution, significant cost savings and a confidential outcome. MARC also understands that not all claims can be resolved in this manner and that an allegation of professional negligence requires an aggressive defense.

MARC’s experienced and knowledgeable attorneys vigorously defend professionals in state and federal courts and seek the prompt dismissal of claims that have no merit. For those claims that require trial, MARC's experienced trial attorneys have the expertise to present an aggressive, thoughtful and effective defense. MARC's experienced appellate attorneys are an integral component of our litigation group, so that appropriate issues can be analyzed, preserved and litigated as needed before, during and after trial.

MARC has extensive knowledge and practical experience representing defendants accused of violations of consumer protection laws including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. MARC also utilizes our expertise for select plaintiff matters involving negligence and malpractice.
