Why Sussex County residents choose Laddey Clark and Ryan for their legal needs

If you are looking for attorneys who understand the legal needs of the Sussex County community, consider Laddey Clark and Ryan, which has been based in Sparta since its founding in 1989.

With the retirement of long-time managing partner, Thomas N. Ryan, Laddey Clark & Ryan (LCR), has been building on its well-established foundation in our community under the new leadership of Managing Partner Timothy E. Dinan. As the firm positions itself to serve the current legal needs of Sussex County businesses, families and individuals, Laddey Clark & Ryan is continuing to build its practice in Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation and Estate & Elder Law, as well as Commercial Litigation, Employment Law, Land Use & Zoning and Business Law.

Not only do the attorneys and staff at LCR work in the community, but they live there too. “You will work with attorneys who are part of your community, who you will see around town,” Dinan said. “They understand what your specific needs are more than somebody down in Morristown or Florham Park is going to.”

Dinan, who leads the firm’s Personal Injury practice, notes that his clients are often dealing with some of the most difficult moments of their life. Trust is essential to these exchanges, especially because he recognizes that “so often, new clients come to us because they were referred by past clients who were happy with not only the results we achieved for them, but with the level of service we provided.”

In the Personal Injury practice, the attorneys assist their clients with insurance, ensuring they get the treatment they need, and teach them to tell their story in a courtroom setting and support them in being their own advocates, in order to receive full compensation for the difficult events they have been through.

“In the personal injury context, what we do is help make up for the loss that they have sustained,” said Dinan, who has twice been inducted into the New Jersey Personal Injury Hall of Fame.

Personal injury, says Dinan, can not only impact an individual’s daily health, but also his or her personal well-being and sense of self. So, the attorneys on the LCR Personal Injury team take the time to listen to people, not only to understand the facts of the accident and the injury itself, but also how those injuries have changed the individual’s life.

Does this approach work? Well, one good way to judge is the more than $50 million in verdicts and settlements Dinan can point to over the course of his career.

Dinan says that in the 15 years he has practiced with Laddey Clark & Ryan, he has learned the importance of treating clients with respect and “recognizing the honor that it is to have somebody trust you the way that our clients do.”

“We are a part of the Sussex County community,” concludes Dinan, “We want to contribute, to make it better, every day.”
