Document:
Nicholas A. Pascale is a litigation partner whose practice includes all forms of business and commercial litigation, insurance defense, municipal defense, personal injury, and §1983 civil rights litigation in state and federal courts.
A former Town Justice for the Town of Marlboro, Nick presided over matters involving not only civil lawsuits and small claims actions, but also criminal proceedings and vehicle/traffic cases. He describes this service to his community as an important experience that informed many aspects of how he handles his own litigation today. For example, with an insurance defense practice that has a concentration in defending municipalities, working in local government as a Town Justice gave him a better understanding of his municipal clients in actions involving everything from personal injury and civil rights suits to property damage claims.
Nick's business and commercial litigation practice involves handing business and real estate disputes for individuals and small to mid-size businesses. Whether, however, Nick's client is an insurance carrier, a municipality, an owner of a business, or an individual that has been hurt in an accident, the approach is the same. He strives to be accessible, give full and complete explanations at each stage of a case, and, most importantly, to return calls and emails promptly. Nick's goal is to work closely with clients to help shepherd them through what are often difficult and trying matters.
