Grungo Law Strengthens Personal Injury Practice with Addition of Certified Civil Trial Attorney José Hernandez

Grungo Law has announced that Certified Civil Trial Attorney José Hernandez, Esq., has joined the firm's personal injury team, bringing over 30 years of experience handling complex cases. This addition reinforces the firm's trial capabilities, as both Hernandez and firm founder Richard Grungo Jr. hold the Supreme Court of New Jersey certification as Civil Trial Attorneys, a distinction shared by fewer than 2.5% of lawyers in the state. The certification reflects extensive experience and adherence to high professional standards, positioning the firm to handle difficult cases with greater expertise.

Richard Grungo Jr., Esq., founder and CEO of Grungo Law, emphasized the significance of Hernandez's certification and experience. "Becoming a Certified Civil Trial Attorney isn't just a title; it reflects years of experience, dedication, and a commitment to the highest professional standards," Grungo said. He noted that Hernandez's addition deepens the firm's trial expertise and strengthens its ability to guide clients through challenging legal matters. Hernandez's alignment with the firm's values and culture was also highlighted as a key factor in the hiring decision.

José Hernandez, Esq., expressed enthusiasm about joining Grungo Law, stating that this move represents continued growth and collaboration in his legal career. "As a certified Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, I am looking forward to providing a high level of litigation expertise to our clients' cases," Hernandez said. He emphasized his commitment to seeking justice for those injured by negligence and his eagerness to work with a team that shares his core values. Hernandez's background includes public service roles, such as serving as a municipal court public defender and on the Supreme Court of New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics, District I Ethics Committee, and he is an active member of the New Jersey Association for Justice.

Christine Lafferty, Esq., Director of Litigation at Grungo Law, pointed out that Hernandez's hiring particularly benefits Spanish-speaking clients. "Our ability to service Spanish-speaking clients with our own Spanish-speaking team from the first phone call through the end of the case is an amazing testament to our dedication to helping as many people as possible in the best way possible," Lafferty said. Hernandez is fluent in both English and Spanish, enabling him to assist a diverse clientele and support the firm's commitment to compassionate, client-focused representation. This linguistic capability is crucial for ensuring that Spanish-speaking clients feel fully informed and supported throughout their legal proceedings.

The implications of this announcement are substantial for personal injury clients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Hernandez's three decades of experience and certification enhance Grungo Law's ability to secure favorable outcomes in complex litigation, such as cases involving catastrophic injury or nursing home abuse. His empathetic, client-centered approach ensures that individuals navigating the legal system receive personalized guidance, which is vital in personal injury matters where clients often face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
