At the law office of A. Bret Steig, Attorney at Law, I meet clients' unique needs in a wide range of legal areas, such as:

Real estate law

  • Residential real estate: Meticulously reviewing documents related to residential property transactions to avoid future real estate disputes.
  • Residential short sales: Negotiating with banks to accept the sale of a home for less than the amount owed on the mortgage.
  • Commercial and multifamily real estate: Scrutinizing specific contracts related to commercial or multifamily real estate transactions while ensuring the smooth purchase, sale or lease of property.
  • Real estate litigation: Advocating on behalf of individuals involved in post-closing trial proceedings related to failures to disclose necessary information or other fraudulent behavior.
  • Tenancy: Representing landlords and commercial or residential tenants in disputes over leased property.
  • Property tax appeals: Working with residential and commercial clients with concerns that their property is over assessed and thus their property taxes are too high.

Criminal defense

  • Traffic violations: Representing clients with traffic court appearances accused of drunk driving, speeding or driving with a suspended license.
  • Expungement of records: Filing petitions on behalf of clients wishing to make a fresh career move without the shadow cast by a prior criminal record.

Business law - Creating ongoing, vital business relationships with clients who wish to start or acquire businesses throughout the West Essex community.

Wills and trusts - Guiding clients with the planning and administrative processes associated with family assets and advanced health care choices.

Probate - Helping clients establish the validity of a will, and protecting clients in estate litigation.

For nearly 15 years, I have successfully represented hundreds of clients throughout New Jersey. I am ready to provide you with the best representation possible.
