Our law office is conveniently located at 1 Broad Street, Second Floor,
Elizabeth, New Jersey directly across from the architecturally magnificent
Union County Superior Courthouse, designed by Ackerman Ross and built
in 1903 in the classical revival style. Because our law firm is mainly
a trial law firm that resolutely believes in a person's constitutional
right to a jury trial, the Latin words inscribed at the top of the Courthouse,
VOX POPULI VOX DEI have special meaning. The English translation is the Voice of the People
is the Voice of God. This is the cornerstone of the individual freedoms
guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, the right to
a trial by jury of one's peers.
Clifford E. Lazzaro is married to Maria Coffinas, a matrimonial attorney
who practices law in Brooklyn, New York in the firm of Coffinas &
Lusthaus, P.C. They live in Manalapan, New Jersey with their three sons.
