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 Salem County.
Salem County practice scope
Salem 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 Salem 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 personal injury, the car accident/PIP page, or the damages guide depending on whether the immediate issue is coverage, proof, or valuation.

Salem County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Transportation, warehouse, and construction workers, freight operators, contractors, equipment owners, and people with jobsite or delivery records.
What to sort out
Freight logs, contractor records, equipment ownership, and jobsite evidence can be held by separate employers, carriers, project owners, vendors, and insurers. Overweight-load permits, refrigerated-trailer temperature logs, escort-vehicle invoices, and toll transponder statements each originate with a different issuer, and farm matters can add scale tickets, packinghouse invoices, and cooperative settlement sheets.
Court and agency routing
This Salem County page is a routing aid for intake and does not decide a filing division. Court, Surrogate, municipal, workers’ compensation, and agency paths depend on the matter, and the Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage directory supplies official court locations.
Official court source: NJ Courts Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- Record whether the person is a driver, warehouse employee, contractor, equipment owner, project owner, customer, carrier, landowner, beneficiary, or fiduciary and list the involved entities.
- Separate time and freight logs, bills of lading, contractor agreements, change orders, equipment titles, jobsite photographs, incident reports, and insurance communications by project.
- Identify whether the immediate route may involve Family Part, Civil Part, workers’ compensation, probate or Surrogate processing, municipal court, an agency, or another forum.
Official local evidence: Transportation and warehousing accounted for 21.5% of Salem County private employment compared with 6.4% statewide, with a 95.6% increase over the report comparison period. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
Prepare for intake: Bring time and freight logs, contracts and change orders, equipment records, jobsite or incident materials, insurance correspondence, and any current notices or pleadings to an intake evaluation.
