What Others Say About James

I had the opportunity to visit the Dover, NJ and Hackensack, NJ offices, and was extremely pleased with the assisting staff, specifically Nerieda, Marie, and Evelyn. In addition I was represented by James De Norscia and can only say that his legal representation was second to none. I can highly recommend Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq for legal guidance and representation.

Garces Grabler & Lebrocq are the best lawyers I worked with, they handled my accident case very well. My attorneys James De Norscia,Stacy Ryan, Jessica Maxwell and the rest of the Garces Grabler & Lebrocq team did everything they can to fight for my accident case and to help me win my case. I highly recommend Garces Grabler & Lebrocq to anyone that was in an auto accident. Thank you Garces Grabler & Lebrocq.

We’re currently in litigation. The paralegal Evelyn Texidor has been diligently working on our case. She always returns my phone calls regarding the case and answers any and all questions that I may have. I look forward to continue working with her and our lawyer James on our case. I have no doubt that they will negotiate the best outcome possible.
