Koerner & Crane, LLC

Divorce

Collectively, these sub-practice areas comprise a significant portion of New Jersey’s court cases and all are within the province of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part.
Child Custody and Visitation
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
"I began using Howard Crane as my attorney about 15 years ago. We started with organization of my company into various LLCs. I was a builder at the time. Prior to meeting Mr. Crane, I had used many different attorneys for many different matters. What I learned from using Mr. Crane as my lawyer is that he was much more straight forward and made things as simple as possible. I remember prior to meeting him spending about $25,000 on estate planning issues and when I finally met him some years later, he revised my entire estate plan into a very simple plan for only a few thousand dollars, which is the plan that I use today. I have used him for Municipal Court matters, for Planning Board hearings, for a personal injury case, for my Will, for a prenuptial agreement and have always been very pleased with both the work that he does, the fact that he keeps me well informed of my case, that he has a great knowledge of the law, and that he keeps his fees very reasonable compared to other attorneys in this area. I would highly recommend him for all legal matters. "

DUI/DWI
As a result of the public outcry, both state and local police are cracking down on driving under the influence (DWI), in New Jersey. Penalties are becoming more severe. If you have been charged with a DWI in New Jersey, you need an experienced attorney, who has a strong background in DWI Law, who can aggressively represent you. New Jersey DWI cases have become a very technical area of the criminal justice system. Our firm understands the many aspects of DWI representation, as well as the law. We have appeared in many courts, and interacted with the judges and prosecutors on numerous cases, and understand the many different circumstances that can arise in DWI cases. We practice throughout the State of New Jersey. A skilled New Jersey DWI attorney can make the difference between keeping your license, and avoiding the possibility of going to jail. The ultimate outcome of your case, may well depend on the quality of your legal representation.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death Law in New Jersey is quite complex. The decedent may be entitled to damages while they had been alive depending on the manner in which they died. In addition to the rights of the decedent during his or her life, the beneficiaries and dependents of the decedent also have rights which are distinct from those of the decedent him or herself.
Traffic Violations
Very few of us make it through our entire life without receiving a traffic ticket. Some are justified some are not. Often whether justified or not, Mr. Crane can work with the Prosecutor to reduce your penalty whether that be the points on your license, a fine, loss of your driving privilege or in extreme cases incarceration. Having practiced in this area of law for many many years, Mr. Crane is fully familiar with the law and the Judges and Prosecutors in the surrounding area.
Fraud
"I hired Mr. Crane to handle a breach of contract matter where I was ripped off by an unscrupulous contractor. When we tried to settle, the contractor claimed that he had no money. Mr. Crane filed a lawsuit under the Consumer Fraud Act and ultimately got my money back plus my attorney fees were paid. I was extremely pleased with the work he did and would not hesitate to hire him again."

Business and Corporate Law

Limited Liability Companies
Having his Masters degree in Business Administration, Mr. Crane also helps clients set up corporations, limited liability companies and litigates Consumer Fraud matters.

Workers Compensation
By law, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. Employers must immediately provide workers' compensation benefits if you are injured at work. However, some employers either do not carry workers' compensation insurance in violation of the law, or their insurance company deems that you have recovered, and discontinues benefits prematurely. Mr. Crane will assist you in receiving the benefits to which you are entitled.

Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate is one of the areas of law in which it is extremely important to have an attorney who practices real estate versus an attorney unfamiliar with Real Estate law practice. Mr. Crane has done close to a thousand real estate closings. He represents both Buyers and Sellers of residential real estate as well as commercial real estate. He also negotiates leases on commercial real estate.
Real Estate Transactions
"Koerner & Crane handled 2 real estate transactions for me – a purchase and a sale. Both went smoothly and I would recommend his office in the future."
Land Use and Zoning
A client’s land typically represents the larger part of their “nest egg” or life savings and expert representation of clients in their land use issues is of utmost importance. Decisions on land use matters usually come down to a weighing or balancing of the “positive criteria” and the “negative criteria”, which, simply put, is a balancing of benefit/detriment factors. The expertise of counsel is essential in targeting and highlighting those factors for the client’s benefit.

Personal Injury
Suffering a severe personal injury changes your life in an instant. Suddenly, you are faced with pain, bills and other stressors you could not have anticipated. If you or your loved one was injured or killed due to the negligence of another, you have the right to seek compensation from the at-fault party.
Medical Malpractice
At Koerner & Crane LLC, Howard Crane helps individuals and families who have suffered injury or loss due to medical malpractice and other cases of negligence committed by healthcare providers. If you or your loved one has incurred additional medical costs, lost income or pain and suffering due to the carelessness of a healthcare provider or due to hospital negligence, you have the right to seek money damages.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The death of a family member is very difficult for the surviving family members. Not only is the loss painful but almost immediately thereafter the issues of estate administration arise. Sometimes the estate issues are fairly simple. Often the issues can be complex and the parties turn to the court system for resolution. Although turning to the court system for resolution of any estate matter may seem like a difficult burden to undertake following the loss of a loved one, often it can turn out to have been the best route, resulting in an expeditious, fair resolution of the issues. Unlike other areas of litigation, attorneys fees and other litigation expenses are usually paid from the estate rather than from the client.
Wills
Often the issues in an estate matter center on whether a person’s last will and testament accurately represent the wishes of the person who made the will. Although there are several bases for contesting a will, the most common is what is called undue influence. One common scenario where undue influence may come into play is where the last surviving parent of two or more siblings dies and one of the siblings served as the parent’s sole caregiver. A number of potential problems come into focus including the time, costs and efforts incurred by that caregiver. Sometimes in that situation, the parent changed her will to account for those care services and the non-caregiver siblings may believe the changes were done at the behest of the caregiver. These situations are more common than one might expect.
Trusts
Large enough to be effective, at the same time as being small enough to care and to give the personal touch, our legal firm is also able to deal with a wide range of land and property matters. We offer assistance with wills, trusts and estates in addition to real estate legal matters and help if you have been charged with one or more traffic violations. Call us at (908) 874-6242 to schedule an appointment in order to discuss your situation in more detail.
