Bio

Partner Mitchell Makowicz is a New Jersey Supreme Court Certified Civil Trial Attorney with experience and expertise in various types of medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability and other personal injury cases.

Mitch has successfully obtained verdicts and settlements in a variety of product liability cases, involving products as diverse as hair-care products, toys, a quilting machine, personal scooters and a conveyor belt uploader system. In addition, Mitch has secured recoveries for many clients in medical malpractice claims involving plastic surgery, general surgery, bariatric surgery, orthopedic surgery, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics, gynecology, dentistry and chiropractic, amongst others.

Mitch secured a precedent-setting appellate court ruling allowing suit against a weapons manufacturer under the Products Liability Act. The case involved a 15 year old boy who was accidentally shot with a semi-automatic pistol by a friend who mistakenly believed the gun was not loaded. The ruling was based upon the manufacturer’s failure to incorporate a safety device into the gun. Mitch obtained a large verdict for a woman who fell while climbing down from a second-floor balcony, because the sliding door had inadvertently locked due to the faulty installation of a security bar. In addition, Mitch received the highest single-claimant verdict in the history of Middlesex County for a mechanic who was unknowingly exposed to dangerous chemicals on a piece of equipment he was assigned to clean at his job.  Most recently, he obtained a verdict in excess of $5 million arising from a contractor’s failure to properly install bridge rails, causing the death of a 26-year old motorcyclist.

A graduate of Seton Hall University (B.A. magna cum laude, 1983), and of Seton Hall University Law School (J.D. cum laude, 1986), Mitch started working at the firm as a law clerk in 1984 before joining the firm as an attorney. He has been recognized by the LawDragon legal resources group as one of America's top 500 attorneys. He has been named a “SuperLawyer” in New Jersey since 2005.  Mitch is a member of the Morris County and New Jersey State Bar Associations, and a member of AAJ.  He has lectured on various topics, including medical malpractice, trial practice and procedure, and the use of computers and technology in the courtroom.
