About Mollie Hartman
Mollie Hartman Lustig practices law across state and federal courts in the Northeast. She is admitted to the bars of Massachusetts and New Jersey and is authorized to appear before the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Her work requires steady attention to procedural rules and the ability to shift between differing court cultures.
Lustig’s professional record reflects practice in both state and federal forums. She maintains admission in two state jurisdictions and two federal district courts, which shapes the range of matters she accepts. That dual admission means she regularly prepares filings that must conform to multiple sets of local rules and argues matters where procedural nuances can determine outcomes.
On a day-to-day level, Lustig handles tasks common to courtroom and pre-trial work: drafting pleadings, responding to discovery, arguing motions and attending hearings. She works with co-counsel, expert witnesses and clients to build records that judges can rely on. Her practice requires careful calendaring and document management, and she often moves cases through complex litigation tracks that demand persistent follow-through.
In federal court, attorneys face different briefing conventions and scheduling practices than in state court. Mollie Lustig navigates those differences by tailoring submissions to each tribunal’s preferences and by preparing witnesses for the particular tone of federal proceedings. In New Jersey and Massachusetts state courts she adapts to local rules and judicial expectations while advancing her clients’ positions. Colleagues and opposing counsel alike find that clear, punctual communication helps resolve procedural disputes before they escalate.
Outside appearances, much of Lustig’s work involves research and client counseling. She evaluates risk, outlines procedural options and presents strategic choices to those she represents. The role often includes drafting settlement proposals and negotiating terms when resolution is appropriate. Her practice concentrates on matters that arise in Massachusetts and New Jersey and on cases that go before the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
Her current practice focuses on representing clients in matters brought in Massachusetts and New Jersey state courts and in the U.S. District Courts for those states.
