HISTORY OF THE FIRM

Martin L. Mintz started Mintz & Geftic in 1990 succeeding his predecessor law firm of Franz & Mintz which handled a wide variety of work related accident cases and negligence cases since 1978. With the firm’s rapid growth in clients, Stanley L. Geftic, partnered with Martin Mintz in founding the firm.  From New Jersey High School football rivals (Stanley, a linebacker and guard from Weequahic High School and Martin, a linebacker and guard from Hillside High School) to fraternity brothers at Rutgers College, Stanley and Martin teamed up to fight for the seriously injured victims of negligence, motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, product defects, and other types of personal injuries.

Mintz & Geftic has completely modern facilities and equipment, but has always maintained the same important philosophy that the client is the firm’s most important asset. The firm formed a close association with other experienced lawyers and law firms to broaden the legal services available to our clients. Mintz & Geftic is small, but its services are BIG. We have an experienced staff, which has been with the firm since it was started. Our staff is loyal to the firm and dedicated to serving our clients.
