In The News

A partner in the Firm, Mr. O’Hern concentrates on commercial litigation and also practices in the area of estates and trusts.

Mr. O'Hern has extensive experience representing corporate clients in commercial litigation matters in the New Jersey State and Federal Courts. He has handled cases for many Fortune 500-type clients including Nortel Networks, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson, BMW, General Motors, Charter Communications, Cendant and Aetna. In addition, he has represented small- to mid-size companies as well as individuals in various types of commercial disputes and matters.

He has significant experience in the areas of commercial law and business torts. Representative cases include those involving breach of contract claims, copyright infringement, investigation and litigation of business fraud, actions under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, breach of warranty claims under the UCC, non-compete agreements, theft of trade secrets, franchise and distributorship disputes, landlord/tenant disputes, and the prosecution and defense of collection actions.

Mr. O'Hern also has years of experience in the representation of automobile dealerships including the defense of consumer complaints brought under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and the Federal Truth and Lending Act. He has also represented dealerships in the defense of class action claims. In addition, he counsels automobile dealerships on various compliance and regulatory matters to ensure compliance with the many State and Federal laws applicable to automobile dealerships.

Representative cases include the successful defense of a class action brought against an automobile dealership. The claim alleged that the dealership's method of selling a dealer-installed option violated a regulation under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, which requires disclosure of pre-delivery services in the purchase contract. Mr. O'Hern had the class action claim dismissed by arguing that the dealer installed options were not a pre-delivery service subject to the regulation.
