Following his graduation from Rutgers, attorney Jim Bendell worked two years as a prosecutor. He then moved on to working a large part of his career, 16 years, as a litigator for insurance companies. While working at the insurance company, he focused on defending clients who were at fault for causing accidents and other forms of negligence. Following that experience, he focused his career on representing injured parties in court and ensuring his clients received fair and deserved compensation. With experience on both sides of the courtroom, James Bendell understands how insurance companies think and how to defend clients to ensure they get the compensation they not only deserve but are entitled to.

Bendell’s knowledge of the court system expanded with his occasional work as a Superior Court Commissioner and Judge Pro Tem. These positions include presiding over hearings and jury trials, giving him a unique and neutral perspective of the legal system. This extremely rare collection of legal knowledge and experience allows attorney Jim Bendell to have empathy for everyone from those charged with a crime to those injured in an accident; while always fighting for what his clients deserve. There are very few attorneys with over 40 years of experience, serving many roles within the court dedicated to defending Personal Injury Victims.
