As a national firm, SSW will deepen its focus across areas they have successfully represented:

• Litigation: Member Philip Hamilton and Member Lance Clarke have successfully negotiated a settlement on behalf of the Estate of Eric Garner.

“SSW attorneys exemplify that there is no limit to the heights that can be reached when talent meets opportunities,” said Garden State Bar Association President, James Lewis, Esq. “For so many of us, seeing is believing and SSW opens its doors to Garden State Bar Association members, including future attorneys from diverse backgrounds, to see that there's room for them at the highest levels of the profession.”
The American Bar Association has found that of the 40,800 attorneys in the state of New Jersey, only 4.5% or 1,836 are Black. Of that number, over 25% are solo practitioners with an average of less than one Black attorney at each of the 10,482 law firms in the state.
