New Jersey Business Law Lawyer

A Tradition of Providing Quality Legal Services

Since our founding in 1913, the legal team at Kates Nussman Rapone Ellis & Farhi, LLP, in Hackensack, New Jersey, has represented clients with complex and stressful business, real estate, estate planning and employment law issues.

It is a history that's been focused on providing clients with a high level of service tailored to achieving specific goals. We don't intimidate or try to persuade our clients to take unnecessary legal action that is costly or unlikely to succeed. By looking at your choices, we can determine together the best course to pursue.

Although our team of lawyers practice in different legal areas, our firm's philosophy is to handle each and every client with:

  • Commitment — we hold ourselves to a high standard and place an emphasis on strong results and efficiency
  • Personal attention — every case receives a responsive approach that is flexible to the client's unique situation
  • Intense analysis — your concerns are carefully investigated, evaluated and researched with an open mind in order to establish creative strategies and provide honest advice

A Strong Presence in Our Legal Community

Throughout our history, attorneys at our firm have held prominent positions such as first Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Commission, judges of various courts, including a presiding judge of the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey and counsel to a former New Jersey Governor. Many of our past and present attorneys have also served on the New Jersey Supreme Court Ethics Committee and have been commended for our pro bono and volunteer service.
