Out of 60,000 active New Jersey lawyers, only 1,534, or three percent, are certified as civil trial attorneys. Jayne is a member of this elite group. To become certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court, an attorney must demonstrate a substantial level of experience in civil trials, receive a favorable evaluation from judges and other attorneys familiar with her work, and pass an extensive written examination. Only attorneys who successfully complete this process are permitted to use the designation “Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney.” Jayne also holds the highest rating given by Martindale Hubbell. Her legal ability is rated by her peers as very high to preeminent, with the highest ethical standards.
