Anthony Carbone has spent 35 years representing injury victims and criminal defendants across Hudson County, a span of practice that covers more courthouses, more case types, and more community relationships than most New Jersey attorneys ever accumulate. That depth of local experience is the foundation on which every client matter at this firm is built.
Introduction
Hudson County is one of the most densely populated counties in New Jersey, and its streets, workplaces, and courts each present their own particular demands. The Law Offices of Anthony Carbone grew from that environment. Over three and a half decades, Carbone has handled personal injury claims from slip and fall accidents, car and motorcycle crashes, pedestrian knockdowns, dog bites, and wrongful death cases, alongside a criminal defense practice that covers assault, domestic violence, felony charges, sex crimes, and theft offenses. Few solo or boutique practices in the region can point to that breadth of coverage combined with that length of uninterrupted service.
The firm accepts personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless the case resolves in their favor. For criminal defense clients, fee structures are discussed directly during consultation.
Practice Areas
Personal Injury
The firm handles the full range of injury cases that arise from accidents and negligence. Car accidents remain a staple of any Hudson County personal injury practice, given the density of traffic on routes like Route 1&9, the Turnpike extension, and the many urban intersections throughout Jersey City, Bayonne, and Newark. Motorcycle accident cases receive particular attention because the injuries are often severe and the liability disputes are frequently contentious. Pedestrian accident cases are a recurring category in this part of New Jersey, where foot traffic is heavy and crosswalk violations are common.
Slip and fall claims require proof of property owner negligence, and the firm handles both private property and public premises cases. Dog bite claims in New Jersey are governed by strict liability, meaning the owner is responsible regardless of whether the dog had prior history of aggression. Workers’ compensation cases involve a separate administrative system, and the firm guides injured workers through the filing process, medical treatment authorization, and benefit recovery. Wrongful death cases are handled for families who have lost a member due to another party’s negligence.
Criminal Defense
The criminal defense side of the practice covers assault and battery, domestic violence charges, felony offenses of varying degrees, sex crimes, and theft. Hudson County has its own Superior Court complex, and familiarity with local prosecutors, judges, and court procedures is a practical advantage for any defense attorney practicing there. The firm represents both defendants facing initial charges and those navigating the post-charging process through pre-trial hearings and trial.
Domestic violence cases in New Jersey carry consequences beyond the criminal charge itself, including restraining orders that affect housing, child custody, and firearm ownership. The firm handles representation on both the criminal charge and the associated civil restraining order proceedings.
