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 Union County.
Union County practice scope
Union 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 Union 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.

Union County intake guide
Who this guide helps
Transportation and warehouse workers, retail employees, information-sector professionals, logistics businesses, and people with digital or commercial-property records.
What to sort out
Shift and logistics records, digital assets, retail operations, and commercial-property documents may be distributed across employers, platforms, entities, property managers, and carriers. Port and airport jobs add drayage manifests, chassis rental invoices, and customs paperwork to the usual employment records, and information-sector employers here contribute repository access logs and licensing renewals.
Court and agency routing
This Union County page is a routing aid for intake and does not select a filing division. The appropriate family, civil, criminal, probate, commercial, municipal, or agency path depends on the matter, and the Union Vicinage directory provides official court information.
Official court source: NJ Courts Union Vicinage.
Three intake decisions
- Clarify whether the person is a shift worker, driver, warehouse employee, retailer, technology employee, business principal, commercial-property stakeholder, party to a lease, customer, or fiduciary.
- Organize schedules and timecards, dispatch and delivery logs, inventory and sales reports, platform exports, digital agreements, leases, and property financials by custodian.
- Identify whether the immediate route may involve Family Part, Civil Part, probate or Surrogate processing, municipal court, a workplace or business agency, or another forum.
Official local evidence: The NJDOL Union County report identifies a 61.2% increase in information-sector employment over the report comparison period ending in 2024. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
