“No case is too complicated,” explains Varano. “Regardless of the complexity of the matter, we break it down into simple concepts which has proven to be very effective. The bottom line is we solve unsolvable problems. We put clients in a substantially better position at the end of the day than when we started.”

Steve Varano is a renowned attorney with over 40 years of experience. His full-service New Jersey based law firm is comprised of six attorneys who practice civil litigation, personal injury, real estate, administrative and criminal law. He is an experienced litigator with a diversified background, having handled complex commercial and civil cases, personal injury, employment matters, and criminal defense. He also has extensive experience in business disputes, real estate and transactional matters, as well as DWI/municipal court cases.

Varano graduated from the University of Denver in 1980, and then received his Juris Doctor from Rutgers University, Camden, in 1984. He was admitted to practice law in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the United States Federal District Courts for New Jersey and Pennsylvania in 1984.  Varano thereafter opened his firm in New Jersey in 1991.

Representing law enforcement officers has been one of Varano’s focuses throughout his career, having worked intimately with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and the Police Benevolent Association (PBA).

Today, not only members of the law enforcement community turn to Varano for his expertise in criminal, civil, administrative, promotional and pension matters, but many high-profile professional athletes seek his representation as well. From major corporations to local businesses and individuals, Varano represents them all.

Many of his cases make headlines. Take his client who was an African American professor at a state university, who was awarded $2.2 million in damages on allegations that she was harassed and discriminated against because of her race and religion.

Another case that received a great deal of publicity involved a woman who slipped and fell on a wet floor while shopping at a retail store in Totowa, New Jersey. Varano obtained a jury verdict in her favor for $1.2 million for her injuries.

Further, Varano has successfully negotiated millions of dollars in settlements from a variety of defendants, including Fortune 500 companies, governmental entities and individuals.
