Overview
Joe is the founder and managing shareholder of Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Holloway since 1984. His practice has focused on a variety of civil litigation and transactional matters, primarily complex personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, product liability, construction accidents, and medical malpractice.
Joe has personally or otherwise overseen the resolution of thousands of injury claims, many of which have resulted in seven and eight-figure recoveries. Notable results include a $55 million trucking accident settlement (believed to be the highest-ever personal injury recovery in Newark, New Jersey / Essex County), a $40 million trucking accident/wrongful death settlement, a $33 million drunk driving / dram shop recovery, a $20 million product liability settlement, an $18 million gas tank explosion case, an $18 million forklift accident recovery, and a $13.5 million mass tort resolution, among many other substantial results.
As an attorney with 40 years of experience, Joe continues to actively litigate catastrophic injury cases and has a keen interest in aerial photography as it relates to accident investigation, safety, and accident reconstruction.
