Morristown, NJ employment law attorneys Chris Lenzo & Claudia Reis talk about what makes their firm different and the level of service clients can expect. They share that what distinguishes Lenzo & Reis LLC from many other employment law practices is the direct involvement of the lead attorneys in every case. When a client meets with the firm, they meet with the attorney who will actively handle their case day-to-day. There is no back room of junior attorneys or recent graduates performing the core work. The attorneys managing each case are either the firm’s principals, ensuring consistency and accountability from start to finish. When clients call to speak with the attorney handling their matter, it is one of the lead attorneys, and when a case is presented to a judge or jury, it is handled by the same attorneys. This approach fosters a high level of trust and confidence, as clients work directly with the professionals responsible for every aspect of their case.

This model also allows the firm to be selective in the cases it accepts, which carries the added benefit of establishing credibility with opposing counsel. Complaints, filings, and correspondence from the firm are recognized as representing thorough, well-prepared work because the attorneys themselves are responsible for it.

The attorneys take pride in differentiating themselves from competitors and large defense firms through meticulous attention to detail and a near-perfectionist approach to case preparation. One principal approaches cases with the mindset of a detective, thoroughly investigating the facts in a way few other attorneys would. Both attorneys are highly particular about the quality of their written work and oral advocacy, ensuring that every court appearance or trial is conducted with maximum preparedness. This commitment to precision and excellence, while still recognizing human limitations, is a hallmark of the firm and reflects a standard of practice that is, unfortunately, less common in the legal profession than clients might expect.
