Mr. Fonseca became Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney in 2019. He received the distinction of being on a list called “New Jersey Rising Stars” by Super Lawyers each year from 2012-2019. Since being admitted to practice law in New Jersey and New York in 2006, Mr. Fonseca gained extensive litigation and trial experience handling dozens of matters from inception through trial and the Appellate level. Mr. Fonseca’s past experience primarily focused on representing civil defendants through their insurance companies. His insurance experience gave him an insider’s perspective to the insurance industry, which often serves as an advantage when litigating and entering settlement negotiations on behalf of the plaintiffs he now represents.

Mr. Fonseca is a native of Northern New Jersey, having grown up in Passaic County. He is a 2003 graduate of Rutgers College and a 2006 graduate of Albany Law School. After law school, he spent a year clerking for Hon. Nestor F. Guzman, J.S.C. in the Passaic County Superior Court Criminal Division.
