In New Jersey, the workers’ compensation system is supposed to help injured workers, and the civil justice system is supposed to help people injured by the negligence of others. The reality is that employers and insurance companies try to limit benefits as much as possible. Too many injured people don’t get the treatment they need. Too many are pressured into returning to work when they haven’t fully recovered from their injuries.

That’s why you need an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer or personal injury attorney to fight for you. Shebell & Shebell, LLC has been helping people who have been hurt on the job or due to negligence for decades. We are dedicated to helping injured people in Shrewsbury, Freehold, Newark and throughout New Jersey get the compensation they need and deserve.

Our Family Has Been Helping Injured Workers for Generations

Shebell & Shebell, LLC has a long and established history in New Jersey. Thomas Shebell founded our firm in 1927 in Asbury Park. He grew up in a working-class family who worked hard to put him through law school. Thomas never forgot his roots, and after graduating from Georgetown Law, returned to the area to practice.

Thomas F. Shebell, Jr., joined the firm in the early 1960s and tried criminal and civil jury trials. In 1976, he became a Superior Court judge, where he remained for the next 26 years. Judge Shebell later returned to the firm in an “of counsel” capacity until his passing in May 2022.

The focus of the firm from the very beginning was working hard on behalf of clients. We built a reputation as a family-oriented law firm that people can trust. Our practice grew by word of mouth. Clients we helped came back to us the next time they needed legal representation. In fact, we still have clients who were helped by our founder.

We have since moved our main office to Shrewsbury. Thomas’s son, Raymond P. Shebell, Sr. and grandson, Thomas F. Shebell, III, now run the firm, and we’ve added other attorneys. Some things haven’t changed. We still work hard on behalf of clients, and we are still a family-oriented law firm that people can trust.

Thank you very much for a job well done.” – Lydia and Ray

    Holding Negligent Parties Accountable And Righting Wrongs

    Our firm, led by Thomas F. Shebell, III, handles all types of personal injury cases, including slip and falls, car accidents, medical and nursing home negligence, and construction site accidents. Recovering compensation after being injured can be complicated. Negligent parties deny responsibility. Insurance companies try to limit your compensation. Our attorneys fight to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

    We believe everyone who has been injured due to negligence deserves to have their cases heard.

    Some clients come to us after being turned down by other personal injury lawyers. They were told that their case didn’t have enough “value.” Some lawyers won’t even consider your case if the lawyer believes “it isn’t worth a million dollars.” Maybe your case “value” is less than that, but your change in quality of life still means a lot to you. We believe any person who has been injured due to negligence deserves to have their cases heard.

    Our legal team investigates to get the facts. We do the hard work necessary to fight to hold negligent parties accountable. Many times, this convinces insurance companies to talk about a settlement that meets your needs. If the insurance company won’t negotiate, we’ll be ready. Our personal injury lawyers prepare every case as if we are going to trial. If you’ve been injured in Freehold, Shrewsbury, Newark, or anywhere in New Jersey, call today.
