History
David Spector began his legal career in the 1960s in Brooklyn, New York, fighting for the rights of immigrants and protecting the injured from overbearing insurance companies. He was joined in 1999 by James M. Foerst, Esq., of Westfield, New Jersey. Jim expanded the practice areas of the law firm, incorporating real estate, estate planning, criminal defense matters and a variety of additional general civil practice niches.
After David Spector’s retirement in 2009, the law firm in 2012 welcomed Jennifer Cadillo, Esq., to complement its real estate law section. A former legal intern for the firm while in college, she returned to her roots after successfully completing law school and passing both the New York and New Jersey bar exams.
Michael Cuellar joined the firm in 2020 and greatly expanded the personal injury practice of the law firm. Having worked in insurance defense, PIP Arbitration and injury work, his skill set coupled with the firms of history of injury representation make us a premier law firm in New Jersey in the injury market.
