Costello & Mains, LLC

The mission of our New Jersey employment and civil rights attorneys is to try employment and civil rights cases. That's our 'thing.' We're at the top of our game, and at the top of our field. It's what we're known for.

As New Jersey employment attorneys, we are knowledgeable about every aspect of employee rights, handling cases as diverse as sexual harassment claims, employment discrimination claims, GLBT and LGBT rights claims, transgender claims, gender discrimination claims, race discrimination claims, whistleblower claims, retaliation claims, failure to accommodate disability claims, age discrimination claims, prevailing wage claims, wage and hour class actions (overtime pay, minimum wage), national origin discrimination claims and more.

In representing students in New Jersey private and public schools and universities, we fight against school bullying, cyber-bullying, school harassment and discrimination in schools. Our school discrimination cases involve failure by schools to abide by 504 Plans and IEPs, failure to accommodate disabled or handicapped students, and more.

Against whom do we go to war? Against the largest Fortune 500 and 100 Corporations. Against the state and federal governments. Against public bodies, against the police, against schools, anyone who discriminates, harasses, retaliates or breaks our employment and civil rights laws. We've challenged them all. We try employment cases in every county of New Jersey, and in every Federal Court in New Jersey. We fear nothing, and no one. We always tell the truth. We always back up what we say with action.

There aren't many employment and civil rights lawyers in New Jersey. It's a tough field, because so many employers and government institutions use scorched-earth tactics; they try to paper a plaintiff to death. Of those few who do practice in this field, not many will handle the variety and complexity of cases we will because, frankly, it's scary for them. Not many employment and civil rights law firms in New Jersey have our resources. Not many have our experience. And not many have our will and our tenacity.

We believe strongly in the rights of the person, not of the corporation or of the government. It's the mantra and mission of each New Jersey civil rights attorney at our firm.

Kevin Costello's "pedigree" is as a trial lawyer. He learned his craft trying complex personal injury matters such as medical malpractice cases, nursing home abuse and neglect cases, construction accident and product liability matters, auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and more. He retains a 13-year-old record, as of 2013, for the largest verdict in Cape May County history, a jury award of $6.4 million in a complex personal injury matter.

If you or a member of your family needs assistance in these areas of law, look no further for a trial lawyer who knows how to talk to juries about devastating, life-time injuries and the toll they take not only on the injured, but on their families.

Consumer fraud, consumer class actions and common law fraud are areas of law in which Kevin Costello has tried and won claims to vindicate the rights of those cheated in business dealings, relationships with contractors, real estate deals and consumer contracts.

Costello & Mains knows how to use the common law and statutory law of New Jersey to hold those responsible who live by the creed "there is no honor among thieves."
