Areas of Concentration

For the past 30 years, Griffith and Carlucci has been a trusted legal resource in South Jersey. From municipal and real estate matters to complex civil litigation, our attorneys have guided clients through challenges with skill and discretion. As the firm continues under Richard Carlucci, that commitment remains: experienced trial advocacy, clear strategy, and responsive service for every client we represent.

Civil Litigation

Litigation is the cornerstone of Griffith and Carlucci. Richard Carlucci maintains an active trial practice in New Jersey and federal courts, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. With over 35 years of courtroom experience, Rich handles complex disputes from filing through trial and appeal. The firm litigates construction defect claims, commercial and contract disputes, employment matters, civil rights cases, family law conflicts, and municipal issues. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, giving clients clear strategy, direct communication, and seasoned advocacy.

Construction Defect Litigation

We represent developers, contractors, and condominium associations in all phases of construction disputes. Our experience includes claims involving design defects, water intrusion, structural issues, and warranty enforcement. Rich has tried these cases for both builders and owners, which gives us perspective on how to resolve or litigate them efficiently.

Commercial & Business Litigation

When business relationships break down, we step in. The firm handles partnership disputes, breach of contract claims, shareholder issues, and commercial torts. We work with small businesses, professionals, and local companies across Cape May County to protect their interests in and out of court.

Corporate Law & Business Formation

We counsel businesses at every stage, from entity selection and formation to operating agreements, governance, and dissolution. The firm drafts and reviews contracts, assists with mergers and acquisitions, and advises owners on compliance and risk management. Our litigation background informs practical, enforceable business documents.

Real Estate & Land Use

Building on the firm’s history, we advise on residential and commercial sales, condominium master deeds and associations, landlord tenant matters, and development. We represent parties in disputes over title, liability, insurance coverage, zoning, and land use approvals before local boards and in court.

Title Litigation

We resolve disputes involving property ownership, easements, boundary lines, liens, and title insurance claims. When a clouded title threatens a transaction or ownership rights, we move quickly to clear the record through negotiation or litigation.

Mediation Services

As an experienced litigator, Rich offers mediation for civil disputes where parties seek efficient, confidential resolution. We facilitate constructive dialogue in commercial, construction, employment, and family matters, helping clients avoid the cost and uncertainty of trial when appropriate.
