About Richard
Richard Marcolus earned his law degree from Villanova University School of Law in 1985 after completing a Bachelor of Arts at Seton Hall University in 1982. He entered the legal profession following graduation and has practiced law for more than four decades. His academic background provided the foundation for a steady, practice-centered career in the tri-state area.
Marcolus is admitted to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. Over the years he has built a practice concentrated on workers' compensation matters. He is certified as a Workers Compensation Lawyer by the New Jersey Supreme Court, a qualification that reflects a specialized credential in state-level workers’ compensation law.
Throughout his career he has handled a broad range of workers’ compensation issues. His work has involved representing clients in hearings before administrative judges, preparing claims and defenses, and engaging in negotiations to resolve disputes. He has experience working through the procedural steps that commonly arise in compensation claims, including claim filings, medical dispute matters, and appeals when cases move beyond initial determinations.
Colleagues and clients have described his approach as pragmatic and detail-oriented. He pays attention to records, medical reports and procedural deadlines. He favors clear, direct communication in dealing with claimants, insurers and opposing counsel. That approach has shaped the way he manages files and prepares cases for hearing or settlement.
Marcolus’s practice has spanned ordinary workplace injuries as well as more complicated claims that involve overlapping issues of causation and long-term medical care. He has addressed matters where vocational rehabilitation, permanent disability ratings or settlement structuring were central to the outcome. He has also navigated the administrative and evidentiary requirements that are unique to the workers’ compensation system.
He remains active in the practice of law in the region. His work continues to center on workers’ compensation representation across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. He currently concentrates his practice on workers' compensation matters across those jurisdictions.
