    REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS: Ward v. Merced - This precedential case from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division clarified the procedure
    the resultant proofs required in order for the insurer to successfully establish the legal cancellation of a policy of automobile insurance in New Jersey. Whereas heretofore, the published New Jersey decisions overwhelmingly found fault with one or more aspects of the proof of mailing required to demonstrate effective proof of cancellation, Mr. Cuddihy with the assistance of the Mount Laurel Postmaster, was able to educate the Court with respect to the stringent policies
    procedures undertaken by the post office in the sorting, cancellation
    mailing process, the certification of which the Court recognized for the first time as having satisfied the proof of mailing requirement under the applicable statute.
    Pisaneschi v. Turner Construction Company v. Pennsylvania National Insurance Company - This seminal case from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, clarified the scope of the loading
    unloading doctrine in the State of New Jersey. Therein, the plaintiff, who was an employee of a trucking company that had been contracted to deliver
    install air conditioning equipment at a renovation site, brought a strict products liability claim against the manufacturer of the air conditioning units for injuries sustained in a fall resulting from the plastic strap that had been used to secure the unit to a wooden pallet having broken. The manufacture brought a third-party complaint against the trucking company's automobile liability insurer seeking coverage under the automobile liability insurer's insurance policy. Defending the automobile liability insurer, Mr. Cuddihy successfully convinced the Appellate Division that the loading
    unloading process had been successfully completed prior to the accident having occurred
    , therefore, the responsibility for coverage remained with the product manufacturer.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
