About Richard A.
Richard A. Reinartz is admitted to practice law in both New Jersey and New York. He gained admission to those bars after completing his legal studies and beginning a practice that spans both states. He handles matters that require attention to differing state rules and procedures. He works across state lines when a client’s needs do not stop at a single jurisdiction.
Early in his career, he built experience practicing in forums that include state and federal courts. He has worked on cases and matters that demanded coordination among multiple stakeholders and occasionally among multiple offices. He has also navigated administrative procedures and court filings that differ from one jurisdiction to another. That practical familiarity helps when calendar dates, local rules, or filing requirements vary between New Jersey and New York.
His professional approach favors clear communication and careful preparation. He prepares pleadings and filings, manages discovery schedules, and coordinates with co-counsel or local counsel when cases cross state lines. He pays attention to procedural detail and to deadlines. He also engages in client counseling and strategic planning when the resolution of a matter requires weighing litigation risks against negotiated outcomes.
Colleagues and opposing counsel describe him as methodical. He tends to break complex problems into discrete steps. He often works to align litigation tactics with broader client objectives. That can mean focusing on early case assessment, preserving key records, or seeking timely resolution where appropriate. He adapts to the procedural differences between New Jersey courts and New York courts, and he adjusts strategy when a case moves from one forum to the other.
Over time he has taken on matters that require both an understanding of substantive law and the practical mechanics of getting things done in court. His courtroom work and courtroom preparations reflect an attention to the procedural fabric that underpins dispute resolution. He also places value on practical case management and on keeping clients informed about options and potential next steps.
He continues to maintain his practice in New Jersey and New York and represents clients whose matters require counsel admitted in both states. He currently concentrates his practice on matters arising in those two jurisdictions.
