At Gordon and Gordon, the protection of our state's residents and their
property from corporate polluters is our priority. The Gordon &
Gordon law firm is a leader in the area of complex litigation including,
but not limited to, representing the victims in the Newark Dioxin case
and victims in one of the largest disasters in New Jersey - the floods
of 1984. Our unique experience and dedication to representing
environmental issues has led us to be named as Special Counsel for
Environmental Litigation by the State of New Jersey.
Environmental Litigation involves claims for injured persons and
property damage caused by the discharge of toxins from companies. As
Environmental Litigators, Gordon & Gordon represent from single
victims to large numbers of people who have been harmed physically or
have sustained damage to their property. Led by Michael Gordon, named
leading environmental attorney in the Item of Milburn and Short Hills,
the firm has also represented over twenty New Jersey municipalities as
Special Litigation Counsel in high profile policy cases including radon,
landfills, location of incinerators, commuter train lines and other
