Your attorneys.

Client stories.
Real experiences from the people we have helped — reproduced here as representative placeholders until client releases are signed.
Papa Alpha Sr. answered my call at 11pm on a Saturday when I got pulled over. By Monday morning, he had a strategy. The breathalyzer was thrown out and so were the charges. I cannot imagine going through that without him.
Maria R.
Ridgefield, NJDWI Defense
After my landlord changed the locks, I thought I was homeless. Papa Alpha Jr. got me back in my apartment within 48 hours. He treated me with dignity when no one else would.
James T.
Springfield, NJTenant Rights
The insurance company offered me $12,000 for a rear-end collision that left me in physical therapy for six months. The Alphas fought for me and I received a settlement that actually covered my bills and lost wages.
