Joseph C. Stimmel is a senior litigation associate with the firm and is committed to helping clients with their biggest life challenges. Joseph’s practice focuses on personal injury, employment law, and other civil and commercial litigation matters in New Jersey and New York. He has successfully handled complex cases such as catastrophic injuries involving the brain, back and spinal cord, burns, and other injuries. He has also handled diverse employment disputes, such as representing a managing director in a breach of contract action with a major Wall Street bank, harassment and discrimination, unpaid wages, and review of employment agreements. Some of Joseph’s other example cases include fraud and theft cases, insurance coverage disputes, and business litigation.
Mr. Stimmel is also a determined, passionate advocate for his clients and is not afraid to go all the way to trial to achieve justice, no matter how big or powerful the opposing side might be. For example, in 2025, Mr. Stimmel obtained a $2.2-million-dollar jury verdict on behalf of a client with a traumatic brain injury. Mr. Stimmel won despite the defendant business and its insurance company labeling the case a “no-pay” for years, offering a meager $50,000 settlement during the trial, and attempting to repeatedly blame the client for his own accident. He has also obtained numerous large settlements in various other cases and areas of the law.
Mr. Stimmel was voted to receive the George G. Campion Award for Excellence from the Brennan-Vanderbilt Trial Inn of Court (part of the American Inns of Court), after his exemplary performance in completing the Inn’s two-year, trial training program. In addition, the National Trial Lawyers Association has afforded Mr. Stimmel the prestigious designation of a Top 40 Under 40 Civil Trial Attorney.
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Stimmel also worked for several top-ranked, large law firms in a variety of civil litigation matters. Mr. Stimmel has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants, ranging from individuals to large corporations, in often high-stakes, multi-million-dollar matters. For example, at a prior firm, Mr. Stimmel was involved in litigations for claims against the National Football League for the player concussion scandal, against large chemical manufacturing companies for major environmental pollution incidents, and more.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Stimmel also completed a judicial clerkship in the New Jersey state trial court for the Honorable Michael Cresitello, Jr. During his clerkship, Mr. Stimmel regularly drafted judicial opinions, attended court proceedings, mediated lawsuits as a court-certified mediator, and more. He further completed a judicial internship in the New Jersey federal trial court for the Honorable Esther Salas. These judicial experiences have given Mr. Stimmel unique, behind-the-scenes perspectives on courtroom procedures and judicial decision-making.
Mr. Stimmel also remains an active member of the Brennan-Vanderbilt Inn of Court, where he receives ongoing mentorship and training from top trial lawyers and judges in various aspects of civil litigation and trial practice. Moreover, Mr. Stimmel serves on the organization’s Executive Board, where he volunteers his time to teach and mentor younger attorneys in their own development of litigation skills, trial skills, and professionalism.
In addition, Mr. Stimmel is bilingual in Spanish and welcomes opportunities to work with Spanish-speaking clients.
