Corradino & Papa, LLC Has Four Certified Trial Attorneys

Corradino & Papa is pleased to announce that it now has four certified trial attorneys on its team. This month, Timothy J. Fonseca was officially certified as a Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, making him Corradino & Papa’s fourth certified attorney after Jack Vincent Corradino, Robert C. Papa, Jr. and Joseph A. Defuria.

Shortly after being certified, Fonseca stated: “Today is an exciting day for both myself and my law firm.”

“I am extremely proud that Corradino & Papa will now have four certified trial attorneys and we will continue to advocate a high level of skill on behalf of our clients when they are subject to wrongdoing.”

We look forward to representing our clients’ best interests with the help of our most recently designated Civil Trial Attorney, Timothy J. Fonseca.

About the Civil Trial Designation

Attorneys must practice law for years before they can be certified as a Civil Trial Attorney. To earn this designation, lawyers must meet the following requirements:

  • Demonstrate sufficient levels of education, experience, knowledge, and skill in a specific field of law or practice
  • Pass a challenging and rigorous exam
  • Be recognized by their peers (consisting of attorneys and judges) for their reputation and skills in the designated specialty.

Only 2% of lawyers in New Jersey have been certified as Civil Trial Attorneys, and we’re proud that four of those lawyers are on the Corradino & Papa team.
