Leading The Way In Employment Litigation In New York And New Jersey

Welcome to John J Zidziunas & Associates
Our Firm's mission is to achieve exceptional results for our clients by taking cases to trial and verdict when necessary. With more than 21 years of litigation experience, a distinguished record of success at trial, and a demonstrated willingness to take cases through verdict, our Firm has earned its reputation through meticulous preparation, strategic judgment, and determined persistence. Whether representing employers or employees in high-stakes, high-exposure litigation, we approach every matter with the readiness and resolve to try the case when our clients' interests demand it. Regardless of the size or complexity of the dispute, we are committed to protecting our clients' rights, advancing their interests, and achieving the strongest possible outcome.
One of our Firm's greatest strengths is our extensive experience representing both employers and employees. Unlike firms that exclusively represent one side, our dual perspective provides a distinct strategic advantage, keeping us sharp, informed, and uniquely positioned to anticipate how opposing counsel will evaluate claims, assess exposure, develop defenses, and approach settlement negotiations. This experience enables us to identify strengths and vulnerabilities early, anticipate opposing arguments, and develop sophisticated litigation strategies tailored to each client's objectives. By understanding how both sides think, litigate, and negotiate, we deliver practical, objective counsel and formidable advocacy at every stage of litigation, from initial case assessment through trial and verdict.
