Degroot Robert J

I have practiced law and served clients in the greater Newark area since 1972. My firm represents and advises individuals and business clients located in the northern and central counties of New Jersey and in New York City, Westchester, and Long Island.

My firm handles cases in the areas of administrative law; admiralty & maritime law; civil rights; state and federal criminal defense, including DUI/DWI offenses and white collar crimes; ethics & professional responsibility; and residential and commercial real estate law. My firm also represents injured victims and the families of injured victims in personal injury cases involving animal bites, motor vehicle accidents, defective products, slip and fall accidents, state and federal workers' compensation claims, and wrongful death claims.

I am an experienced trial attorney with thirty years of litigation and trial experience. I am well-supported by a professional and experienced staff of associates and paralegals, and we provide courteous and professional service and personalized and individual attention to each of our clients and their case.
Because of my well-established practice and the effective legal services my firm provides, we have developed and maintained long-standing relationships with a large number of clients. Some clients retain us for their legal needs and other clients consistently return to us as legal needs and issues arise.

The primary focus of my practice is to meet the legal needs and objectives of each client by providing personal service and effective representation and advice.
