I consider it my primary responsibility to ensure that you have an effective forum to resolve any problem you may be having with a federal or state government agency. Therefore, it is a pleasure to provide casework assistance to my fellow New Jerseyans. So please allow my staff to help you cut through the red tape with the Social Security Administration; workers' compensation claims; military service problems; veterans' benefits; and immigration problems.

In accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1974 (Title 5, Section 552A U.S.C.), I must obtain your permission to make inquiries or to receive any information on your behalf. Click on the link below to download a copy of this form.
