Monmouth County’s first Europeans arrived in 1609 from Holland, under the navigation of Henry Hudson. The native inhabitants were Lenape Indians. The County was created in 1683 and played a large role in the American Revolution. The largest battle of the American Revolution was fought near Freehold on June 28, 1778 – two years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The county is located in central New Jersey on the northern part of the New Jersey shore. The county seat is located in Freehold Borough, NJ
When injured due to another person’s actions, in addition to healing from injuries and disruptions in family responsibilities and work, injured clients often face additional financial burdens. They may include hospital and current and future medical bills and medication costs, missed work as well as emotional distress. In New Jersey you can make claims for compensation for these losses. Naturally insurance companies will want to pay the least amount they can get away with. When fighting for fair compensation for these losses, it is crucial to have an experienced and talented attorney negotiating with the insurance company on your behalf.

Howard is very professional and very pleasant at all times. He was amazing during the entire process of fighting for me and told me not to worry. Once he told me that I knew I made the right choice of hiring him as my lawyer. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained the entire process to me in full detail in a way I could understand. He calls, emails and text you to keep you updated all throughout the process as I was being sued do to a car accident with false accusations. GUESS WHAT??? He called me a few days ago and told me the case was dismissed. He is again AMAZING. I was worried but I felt he was confident that we would win but he did not tell me this. You could just feel the confidence in his voice. I highly recommend Howard because he will fight with and for you until the very end. He is the BEST!!
