Donald G. Targan (Partner)
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey; admitted to bar, 1962, New Jersey.
Mr. Targan has been consistently named by peers as one of the
Top Attorneys in New Jersey in the fields of Medical Malpractice and
Personal Injury including 2008. This recognition has appeared in New Jersey Monthly
Magazines Annual "Super Lawyers" edition which is based on balloting of
attorneys statewide and selection by a Blue Ribbon Panel. Of the

were recognized in the field of plaintiff's Medical Malpractice; less
than 100 in the field of plaintiff's personal injury.
He has also received a Martindale-Hubbell AV® peer review rating; this is reserved for lawyers that exhibit the highest level of professional excellence as noted by their peers. Most recently, Mr. Targan has been named among the "Best Lawyers in America" by New York Magazine, June 2008 edition.

Mr. Targan has been recognized for his longtime attention to continuing legal education as a Diplomate in the American Association of Justice and the New Jersey Association of Trial Attorneys.
