Disclaimer and Attorney Advertising Notice
Attorney advertising
This website is attorney advertising. It is published by Messa Law, 2000 Academy Dr., Suite 200, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054.
No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
No attorney client relationship
Using this site or contacting us does not create an attorney client relationship. Please do not send confidential information until an attorney client relationship has been established.
An attorney client relationship is created only by a written agreement signed by both you and the firm. Until that exists, information you send may not be protected by attorney client privilege. Sending a message through this site, calling the office, or receiving a reply does not by itself make anyone your lawyer.
Past results
Any case results described on this site are specific to the facts and the law of those particular matters. They do not predict or guarantee any outcome, and no similar result is promised or implied.
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstance.
This site is not legal advice
The content here is general information about New Jersey civil claims arising from sexual abuse. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for advice about your own circumstances, and it should not be relied on as either.
This is deliberate in one respect in particular. This site does not publish a filing deadline in years, because New Jersey’s deadlines depend on how old you were when the abuse happened and on facts specific to each case, and a reader who acted on a general number could lose a claim they actually had.
Jurisdiction
This site concerns New Jersey law and New Jersey claims. Joseph L. Messa, Jr. is admitted to practice in New Jersey (Bar No. 032141988), Pennsylvania and Virginia. Nothing here is an offer to practice law in a jurisdiction where the firm is not admitted.
Third party references
Where this site mentions a type of institution, a hotline, or a public body, that is for context or for your assistance. It does not imply any endorsement, affiliation, or accusation of wrongdoing.
This site does not name individuals accused of abuse.
Accuracy
The law changes, and pages here are updated as it does. No representation is made that every page is current at the moment you read it. If something here matters to a decision you are making, ask about it rather than relying on the page.
