Simon Law Group handles family law, estate planning, probate, personal injury, civil litigation, business, real estate, bankruptcy, foreclosure, workers' compensation, SSDI, and appellate matters in Gloucester County.
Gloucester County practice scope
Gloucester County matters are not all the same just because they share a county name. The useful local question is usually venue, court process, office access, records, travel, local property or employment patterns, and which Simon Law Group practice group should evaluate the issue first.
This page is the general Gloucester County service hub. The county-specific divorce page remains available for Family Part details, but Simon Law Group's local work is broader than divorce. We handle family law, estate planning, probate, personal injury, civil litigation, business litigation, legal malpractice, real estate, bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, workers' compensation, SSDI, appeals, criminal defense, DUI/DWI, expungement matters in this county.

Gloucester County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Freight, warehouse, and distribution workers, dispatchers, drivers, inventory managers, contractors, and businesses handling deliveries or carrier relationships.
What to sort out
Workplace, delivery, inventory, and carrier questions may depend on time-stamped records held across employers, warehouses, dispatch systems, and transportation companies. Telematics units, forklift certifications, and dock-door camera footage each carry their own retention clocks, and a motor carrier’s claims office may purge them long before anyone contemplates a lawsuit.
Court and agency routing
This Gloucester County page is a routing aid for intake and does not select a filing division. Court, Surrogate, municipal, and agency routes depend on the matter, and the Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage directory is the official source for court locations.
Official court source: NJ Courts Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- State whether the person is an employee, driver, dispatcher, contractor, warehouse operator, customer, carrier, or property owner and identify each employer or business entity.
- Organize schedules, timecards, dispatch logs, bills of lading, inventory records, delivery confirmations, incident records, and carrier agreements by date and custodian.
- Identify whether the immediate route may involve Family Part, Civil Part, a workplace or benefits agency, probate or Surrogate processing, municipal court, or another forum.
Official local evidence: Transportation and warehousing represented 13.2% of Gloucester County private employment in 2024, compared with 6.4% statewide, and employment in the sector increased 125.5% from 2018 to 2024. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
Prepare for intake: Bring time and dispatch records, shipment and inventory documents, incident materials, carrier or contractor agreements, and current notices or pleadings to an intake evaluation for issue and forum screening.

Gloucester County questions we are asked
Where are Gloucester County Family Part and civil matters heard?
Gloucester County sits in the Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage of the Superior Court of New Jersey. The NJ Courts vicinage directory lists two Woodbury facilities for this county: the Gloucester County Justice Complex at 70 Hunter Street and the Gloucester County Old Courthouse at 1 North Broad Street. Divorce, custody, and support filings are handled through the Family Part, and money claims through the Law Division. Follow the address and appearance instructions printed on the notice issued in your own case.
Which office opens probate for a Gloucester County estate?
For a Gloucester County estate, the NJ Courts County Surrogates directory at njcourts.gov lists the Gloucester County Surrogate's Office at 17 North Broad Street, Woodbury, NJ 08096, on the same street as the Old Courthouse. Probate of wills, estate administration (appointment of executors and administrators), and applications for letters of guardianship of a minor are filed with the County Surrogate's Office; an adult guardianship case is filed there and heard in Superior Court. Which county's Surrogate opens the estate is set by where the decedent was domiciled at death, and where domicile is unclear that is a question for counsel.
Does filing in Gloucester County change New Jersey divorce residency rules?
No. The county of filing sets venue for a Gloucester County divorce; it does not create or remove the court's authority to hear it. The NJ Courts self-help divorce pages state that a no-fault divorce on irreconcilable differences requires that you or your spouse have lived in New Jersey for twelve consecutive months before filing. Which county a divorce is filed in is set by court rule, not by where either spouse lives today, so a recent move can change the answer. Confirm venue with a lawyer before filing.
What records come up most often in Gloucester County matters?
Transportation and warehousing work is common in Gloucester County. In practice that means dispatch logs, bills of lading, delivery confirmations, telematics downloads, and dock-door camera footage frequently sit behind an injury, employment, or business question, and each custodian keeps them on its own retention schedule. Identifying what still exists is a records question rather than a legal conclusion.
