Neptune / New Jersey / United States
During the first few years of existence, the two-man firm of Nelson & Fromer operated with minimal support staff as a true general practice handling all types of legal matters. However, over time Bruce Fromer focused his talents on protecting the rights of the injured by taking on insurance companies and large corporations that refuse to honor their responsibilities to adequately compensate the injured for their damages. He quickly established himself amongst the elite of the personal injury trial attorneys in central New Jersey. Through his thirty years of trial experience, Bruce has earned the reputation as a knowledgeable, prepared, aggressive advocate who always views his client as his top priority. During his career, Bruce has negotiated substantial monetary settlements for many clients. His trial skills have yielded large monetary jury awards in a variety of civil (tort) cases arising from medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, car accidents, dog bite injuries, defective product (product liability) injuries and injuries sustained in the workplace (worker?s compensation claims). His attention to detail, aggressive lawyering, extensive knowledge of personal injury law and civil procedure together with his years of experience have resulted in his clients receiving maximum compensation for whatever damage or loss they may have suffered by the negligence or tortious acts of others. During the same time, Steven Nelson found his niche as a criminal defense attorney protecting the fundamental Constitutional rights of individuals charged with crimes, disorderly persons offenses and motor vehicle violations. Steve is one of a limited number of attorneys in New Jersey whose practice is devoted exclusively to criminal defense.

Whether charged with a motor vehicle violation or with a serious indictable crime, Steve Nelson understand the stress and anxiety one can experience by simply being involved in the criminal justice system. His courtroom experience, vast knowledge of criminal law and procedure coupled with his effort to personalize the attorney-client relationship instills the trust and confidence his clients need to ease the stress and get through the process. Steven Nelson sincerely believes that an attorney cannot properly represent a client without knowing the individual he is representing. Steve Nelson knows his clients. He is aware of their individual needs and concerns. It took a little less than ten years for Bruce and Steve to find a young associate who met the high standards they set for any attorney who was to hold him/herself in the community as affiliated with Nelson & Fromer. In 1996, the partners interviewed Charles ?Chuck? Crocco who, at the time, was a judicial law clerk for three of the most respected Judges ever to serve in Monmouth County. It was immediately obvious that Chuck fit the mold. His enthusiasm for law was obvious. His personality was infectious. His work ethic was extraordinary. Chuck embraced the original mission of Nelson & Fromer and has proven himself as a truly gifted trial attorney in every respect. Chuck joined Bruce in the civil division of the firm to establish one of the most successful personal injury and workers compensation trial teams in central Jersey, rivaling many of the larger firms. Since joining the firm, Chuck Crocco has experienced success most attorneys never realize during an entire career. He is clearly recognized as one of the preeminent trial attorneys in Monmouth County and, indeed, the entire stat
