About Union City, NJ

Union City is a city located in Hudson County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 Census, Union City was the second-most densely populated city in the United States, with a population density of more than 51,000 people per square mile. Union City was formally incorporated in 1925 with the merger of the municipalities of Union Hill and West Hoboken Township; the remaining portions of West Hoboken Township were taken to form West New York. Union City gets its name from the fact that it was formed from the “union” of two communities. Union City gets its two nicknames, the “Embroidery Capital of the United States” and “Little Havana on the Hudson” from two major waves of immigration that have come through Union City. The first wave of German and Dutch speakers who came to the area in the mid-19th century, established a European-style lacemaking and embroidery industry. The second wave of Cubans, who were initially attracted by the famed embroidery industry and picked up in numbers following Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1962 and the Mariel boatlift in 1980, gave Union City the largest number of Cuban Americans outside of Miami.

Frequently Asked Questions about Legal Malpractice

Am I entitled to a refund of the money I paid to my attorney when he or she commits legal malpractice?

Not necessarily. If you decide to terminate your attorney’s services due to your dissatisfaction with his or her performance, you may still be contractually obligated to pay the sums due under your fee agreement with your attorney. Even if you are able to prove your legal malpractice claim against your attorney, your economic losses may have a different measure other than the money you paid to your attorney for his or her services.

Are there other options for resolving my dispute with my lawyer besides a lawsuit?

Yes. Our legal malpractice attorneys can help you explore and understand the options available to you for resolving your disputes with your former lawyer or for holding your lawyer accountable for negligent conduct. For example, there are fee arbitration services available if you have a dispute over fees with your attorney. We can also help you negotiate a settlement if you have a claim for compensation against your attorney, or we can help you pursue your claim through alternative dispute resolution if you wish to avoid the time and expense of a lawsuit in court.

Team Law is outstanding. Everyone is courteous and knowledgeable and I felt that I got the personal attention that I needed.
