About
Matsikoudis & Fanciullo, founded in 1997 and based in Jersey City, NJ, is a plaintiffs’ law firm representing individuals, nonprofits, municipalities, and businesses. The practice covers personal injury (including premises liability and auto accidents), employment litigation (discrimination, sexual harassment, and whistleblowers), environmental lawsuits, civil rights and community advocacy, urban redevelopment, and commercial litigation and corporate advice. The firm litigates in state and federal courts in New York and New Jersey.
Its record includes compelling corporate polluters to remediate contaminated industrial sites, obtaining compensation in harassment and discrimination matters, and securing damages for clients seriously injured due to negligence or unsafe conditions. The team advises developers on approvals and remediation for urban projects that balance redevelopment with environmental protection and community impacts, and defends small- and mid-sized businesses against unfounded claims.
Founders Bill Matsikoudis and Derek Fanciullo bring extensive public-service and policy experience, including leadership in municipal law and affirmative litigation related to brownfields and urban initiatives. The firm’s work combines complex litigation capabilities with a focus on accountability and practical outcomes for clients and communities.
