Avery & Avery, Esqs. is a generalist NJ trial firm with eight standing practice areas. Generalist depth, not boutique specialization, is the right shape for our clients — most Bergen and Hudson legal problems arrive in clusters, and a single firm that can work the cluster is the right shape for the work.
We handle every matter directly, partner-to-client, with 50+ years of NJ trial practice (Robert W. Avery) and constitutional-defense trial work (John S. Avery) anchoring the team.
