ED, CRAIG and JAY are the founding partners of RAM Law. Following law school, they began their careers practicing law at the largest law firm in New Brunswick. After many years of civil litigation training and experience in the “big firm” environment, the RAM Law partners decided to offer clients this same experience in a small firm setting. Since opening in January 2007, the RAM Law team now includes associates, of counsel attorneys, a retired appellate court judge and paralegal staff.
The attorneys of RAM Law have received various awards and hold leadership positions in a variety of professional associations. RAM Law has obtained millions of dollars in settlements for its clients during the past 3 years.
