Hunterdon County practice scope
Hunterdon 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 Hunterdon 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.

Start with estate planning or probate, then choose the trust, Surrogate, Medicaid/LTSS, or tax topic that fits your question.
Accident, premises, PIP, insurance, or damages
Start with personal injury, the car accident/PIP page, or the damages guide depending on whether the immediate issue is coverage, proof, or valuation.

Hunterdon County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Professional-services workers, contractors, closely held business principals, rural landowners, and families with acreage, estate, or project records.
What to sort out
Contractor revenue, change orders, business ownership, land records, and estate documents can be held under different names or entities and need separate intake treatment. Construction employment also runs above its statewide share here, so lien waivers, draw schedules, and septic or well certificates often surface in home-project files beside the farm records.
Court and agency routing
This Hunterdon County page is a routing aid for intake and does not determine a court division. Family, civil, criminal, probate, and agency paths depend on the matter, and the Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Vicinage directory provides official court-location information.
Official court source: NJ Courts Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- Clarify whether the person is an employee, independent contractor, business principal, landowner, party to a land lease, beneficiary, executor, or trustee and how each asset or contract is titled.
- Group proposals, change orders, invoices, business records, deeds, surveys, farm or acreage leases, wills, trust papers, and estate correspondence by project or titleholder.
- Identify whether the immediate path appears connected to Family Part, Civil Part, probate or Surrogate processing, a municipal or agency process, or another forum for attorney evaluation.
