Adam M. Epstein

Adam M. Epstein is a highly skilled New Jersey trial attorney who concentrates his practice in personal injury and medical malpractice. As a Member of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman — one of the most decorated plaintiff’s law firms in New Jersey — Mr. Epstein brings a rare combination of strategic insight and relentless advocacy to every case he handles. He is known for his aggressive yet calculated pursuit of justice on behalf of clients who have suffered serious injuries due to another’s negligence, and he has built a reputation for taking on complex, high-profile matters that other attorneys might shy away from.

What sets Mr. Epstein apart is a distinctive advantage few plaintiffs attorneys possess: before joining Mazie Slater in 2014, he spent years at a prominent defense litigation firm defending the very types of cases he now prosecutes. That experience gave him an insider’s understanding of how insurance companies and defense teams think, prepare, and negotiate — knowledge he now uses to the benefit of his clients every single day. Whether he is litigating a catastrophic personal injury claim, a complex medical malpractice case, a devastating auto accident case, or a multi-party class action, Mr. Epstein approaches each matter with the preparation and precision of an attorney who knows both sides of the courtroom. He has helped recover more than $100 million for his clients across numerous complex and high-profile matters, and his clients consistently praise not only his results but also his work ethic, guidance, and genuine empathy throughout the legal process.

Over the course of his career, Mr. Epstein has secured more than $100 million in verdicts and settlements for injured clients across a wide range of matters. His recoveries span cases of varying complexity and size, reflecting both the breadth of his experience and his commitment to pursuing full and fair compensation regardless of the obstacles involved. Select examples of Mr. Epstein’s verdicts and settlements include the following:

Because of his many successes, Mr. Epstein has received numerous awards from top legal publications nationwide. Of the most notable, Adam has been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year since 2018 (2018 – 2025), and a Super Lawyer in 2026. Mr. Epstein has also been selected as one of Essex County’s top lawyers every year since 2021 in the Morris/ Essex Health & Life magazine. In addition to these recognitions, his clients have written extensive positive reviews regarding his work ethic, guidance, empathy, and results.

Prior to joining Mazie Slater in 2014, Mr. Epstein worked at a prominent defense litigation firm, where he defended the very types of cases he now pursues, providing him with a unique perspective on how to litigate them. Mr. Epstein is admitted to practice in New Jersey, New York, and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and is also a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Essex County Bar Association.

Outside of the office, Adam enjoys spending time with his family and friends, working out and playing golf.
