Attorney Information
Overview
In January 2020, Ms. Zuckerman merged her employment law firm, Zuckerman & Fisher, LLC, with the long-established Princeton firm, Mason, Griffin & Pierson, P.C. Elizabeth Zuckerman is committed to representing clients in Princeton, New Jersey, as well as those in Middlesex, Mercer and Somerset counties, and through the state. She focuses her practice on handling employment law cases that involve matters such as discrimination, harassment, failure to accommodate, employment litigation, employment agreements and severance packages.
In 1982, Ms. Zuckerman graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Michigan. She went on to receive a Juris Doctor in 1986, from the University of California, Davis, School of Law, where she served as executive editor of the school's law review.
Suffering discrimination in the workplace or a wrongful termination can be emotionally and financially devastating. Ms. Zuckerman serves as a compassionate advocate for people who have employee rights concerns. More than three decades of experience in employment law gives her the background necessary to handle each case efficiently, while keeping in mind her clients' goals.
Ms. Zuckerman focuses on getting to know her clients, thoroughly understanding their situation and then striving to provide them with the best possible representation. A skilled negotiator, she is adept at reaching a settlement when possible, but she is prepared to go to trial when necessary. In one groundbreaking case that Ms. Zuckerman successfully argued before the Supreme Court of New Jersey, she opened the door for wronged employees to recover compensation from their employer's workers' compensation policy in discrimination suits.
A published author, Ms. Zuckerman is a member of the American Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Mercer County Bar Association, the Princeton Bar Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association-New Jersey. She is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
