After three decades of litigating a wide range of issues, David Epstein has developed a diversified practice that he attributes to his role as a problem solver. Dave principally handles commercial litigation, hospitality, alcoholic beverage, municipal, family and employment disputes (appearing before Federal and State Courts and administrative tribunals and agencies in these matters).
Experience
He has also become familiar with many “sub-sets” of these practice areas or related areas such as estate and trust disputes, real estate disputes, corporate disputes, trade secret litigation, commercial tenancy litigation, consumer protection litigation and civil rights matters. Dave also specializes in seeking and opposing requests for emergent relief in these practice areas which must be handled in an expedited fashion. In that regard, Dave prides himself in being able to effectively evaluate and assess cases in an early fashion, thus affording his clients the advantage of having their course better charted from the outset of representation.
He is very involved in his community, having served as trustee of the Madison, NJ Community Pool Corporation, trustee of the Madison Cooperative School and coach of the Madison Junior Football team.
Dave has received an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale. He has been included in the list of New Jersey Super Lawyers as a top-rated business litigator.
