New Jersey litigators Raymond Brown and Gregg Hilzer have joined Scarinci Hollenbeck's Litigation Group. Together with Partners Robert Levy, Paul Lieberman and Roshan Shah, they will help lead the firm's growing Criminal Defense and Corporate Compliance practice groups. Brown and Hilzer have significant experience in handling matters related to criminal defense, corporate compliance, internal investigations, and complex commercial litigation. Ray Brown will be joining the firm as Partner and Gregg Hilzer as Counsel. Both will be located in the firm's Lyndhurst, NJ office.

"I have practiced in international courts, in many federal district courts around the country, and in every county in New Jersey," said Ray Brown. "I had a choice of where to practice, including staying at my previous firm. I chose Scarinci Hollenbeck because it is progressive and dynamic, with lawyers I have known and respected for years as well as others with whom I have not yet worked but who present the opportunity for new challenges in a rapidly changing legal environment."
