The firm offers a wide range of professional services with emphasis on civil litigation including personal injury law, business torts, probate, contract, and commercial matters.

Dante J. Sarubbi, founder of the firm, has more than 39 years experience as a practicing attorney in New Jersey State and Federal Courts. In addition to a concentration in personal injury matters, he has extensive experience in commercial and probate litigation.

In addition to his practice, Dante has served as a commissioner on the State Commission of Investigation, appointed by the Governor, and Municipal Judge in the City of Camden. He has been appointed by the New Jersey Supreme Court to terms on the District Ethics and Fee Arbitration Committees.

W. James Jakobowski has over nineteen years of intensive trial experience in the civil and criminal courts of both New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mr. Jakobowski recently broke new legal ground in a case of first impression decided by the Appellate Division, Bedell vs. St Joseph's Carpenter Society, 367 N.J. Super. 225 (2004). In that case, the plaintiff was seriously injured as the result of a trip and fall over a tree stump on the grassy strip between the cement sidewalk and curb in front of a commercial premises. The trial court dismissed the Complaint, and we appealed the matter to the Appellate Division. As a matter of first impression, the Appellate Division reversed the trial court and decided that the abutting commercial property owner was responsible for proper maintenance of the grassy strip between the sidewalk and curb. The case was returned to the lower courts for trial. In another recent prominent case, the firm recovered over $4.5 million dollars in the Camden County Superior Court in a complex contract litigation matter involving the wrongful termination of a trash hauler's contract. It is believed to be one of the highest verdicts ever recovered in such a case. The case was tried to conclusion by Vincent P. Sarubbi, a former partner of the firm, who is now Camden County Prosecutor.

In addition to extensive litigation practice, the firm also serves as counsel to several small to medium size businesses in the southern New Jersey area.
