Union NJ Lawyers

Incorporated in 1925, Union, NJ boasts over 67,000 residents who live in its 1.4 square miles, making it the most densely populated city in the U.S. During the 1800's many German, Swiss, Dutch and Austrian immigrants made this area their home, establishing renowned lace-making operations and earning the city the distinction "The Embroidery Capital of the United States." The city is only two miles from New York City via the Lincoln Tunnel, and 17 percent of Union's population cross the river to earn their living. Notable landmarks in Union include the St. Michael's Monastery & Church, built in 1869 and the 1931 Park Theater (site of the Aerosmith/Run D.M.C. video "Walk this Way").

Lawyers in Union were recently involved in the defense of Union-based company Bed, Bath, & Beyond. A lawsuit filed against the company alleged that the retailer had incorrectly inflated the thread count of bedding and linens by basing the counts on twisted threads in two-ply fabrics, a practice that is against industry standards. Plaintiffs claim the false higher thread counts resulted in artificially inflated prices at retail outlets. The lawsuit settled in 2008; the retailer did not admit to wrongdoing, but agreed to pay a total of $475,000 in attorney's fees and offer a refund to customers who bought bedding between August 2000 and Nov. 2007.
