Steven F. Wukovits, raised in Union, New Jersey, earned his undergraduate degree from Seton Hall University and his J.D. from Capital University Law School; he is admitted to practice in the State and Federal Courts of New Jersey. From 1989 to 1994 he served as an Assistant Essex County Prosecutor and Special Deputy Attorney General, acquiring extensive felony trial experience. In 1995 the New Jersey Supreme Court designated him a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, an honor held by fewer than 1% of New Jersey lawyers. After joining the firm in 1996, he became partner in 2001 and has since led the firm's state and federal criminal defense practice, handling high-profile and serious matters--murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking, arson, sexual assault, weapons offenses, official misconduct, and more--as well as municipal cases, DWIs, restraining orders, appeals, and PCR applications. A frequent referral choice for complex cases, he is a New Jersey Super Lawyers honoree, AVVO top-rated attorney, member of national criminal-defense lists, a Criminal Advisory/Speedy Trial Committee participant, and was recognized for meritorious public service by the N.J. Supreme Court's District Ethics Committee. He also represents clients in personal injury and workers' compensation matters.
