A Message from Founding Attorney, Frederick P. Niemann, Esq.
I’ve written extensively on legal topics and case law, including changes to New Jersey statutes and regulations that have a significant impact on both our clients and the broader public. While these blogs are legal in nature, they’re written with you in mind — to be clear, understandable, and insightful, offering a practical view of the legal landscape that affects all of us as New Jersey residents.
Over the decades, I’ve authored hundreds, if not thousands, of blogs. Each one addresses a specific legal issue or current event with the goal of helping you better understand your rights, responsibilities, and options under the law.
To help you navigate this library, you’ll find a table of contents on the right side of the page, organized by practice area. The blogs are listed chronologically, with the most recent entries first, and cover a broad range of legal subjects. Whether you are here to learn about elder law, estate planning, guardianship, or business disputes, there’s likely a blog that speaks to your interests or needs.
Of course, some topics are more complex than others. If you find something unclear or would like more information, you are welcome to reach out to me. While I may not be able to respond personally to every inquiry, there is a good chance we have addressed the subject in another blog or within our extensive practice area pages.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our blog library. If we can be of assistance in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at (855) 376-5291 or via email at fniemann@hnlawfirm.com.
