Founding partners of Injury Lawyers of NJ highlighted in Bergen Magazine’s Women in Law special section.

Hackensack, NJ – Injury Lawyers of NJ – Zammitti Shaw & Breen is proud to announce that founding partners Natalie Zammitti Shaw and Sheri A. Breen have been featured in the June 2025 issue of Bergen Magazine, within its annual Women in Law special section.

The full profile appears in the June 2025 edition and can be viewed here.

This recognition highlights the firm’s leadership, accomplishments, and continued commitment to elevating women’s voices within a profession that remains overwhelmingly male-dominated.

What This Recognition Means to a Women-Led Law Firm

For Zammitti Shaw and Breen, being featured in Bergen Magazine’s Women in Law issue is more than a professional honor – it is deeply personal.

“Our firm was founded on the belief that compassion, strength, and strategic trial advocacy are not mutually exclusive,” said Sheri A. Breen. “As women in a field still dominated by men, we’ve spent our careers breaking barriers and proving, case after case, that leadership in law has no gender.”

Attorney Natalie Zammitti Shaw, a Certified Civil Trial Attorney in NJ – a distinction held by fewer than 3% of attorneys statewide – added: “Women bring a powerful perspective to the courtroom. We’re proud to show younger generations that women can lead, can win, and can redefine what excellent legal representation looks like.”

Together, they have built one of New Jersey’s most respected female-led personal injury law firms – and they remain committed to serving as an example for women entering the legal profession.

Elevating Women in a Male-Dominated Field

While women now make up more than half of U.S. law school graduates, the American Bar Association reports that they remain underrepresented in leadership positions, trial advocacy roles, and partnership tracks at major firms.

Zammitti Shaw & Breen are actively working to change that. They mentor young attorneys, advocate for women’s advancement in law, and demonstrate daily that top-tier legal results and compassionate leadership can – and should – coexist.

Community Advocacy

Injury Lawyers of NJ is recognized not only for legal excellence but also for their significant contributions to the Bergen County community. Their outreach includes:

This community involvement reflects the firm’s belief that leadership isn’t measured only by courtroom victories – but by how you uplift the people around you.

Women Leaders in Personal Injury Representation Across New Jersey

Injury Lawyers of NJ has built a reputation for handling some of the most complex and high-stakes injury cases in the state. Their practice spans every major area of personal injury law, from catastrophic medical failures – managed by their seasoned medical malpractice lawyers – to severe roadway collisions handled by an experienced New Jersey car accident attorney. The firm also frequently represents victims injured in unsafe property conditions, drawing on the strength of a highly skilled NJ slip and fall attorney, as well as those harmed by animal attacks with the guidance of a knowledgeable NJ dog bite lawyer.

Their expertise extends to life-altering trauma cases, including those requiring the strategic insight of a proven catastrophic injury lawyer or the focused advocacy of dedicated brain injury attorneys. They also represent workers hurt on job sites – supported by a battle-tested New Jersey construction accident lawyer and a committed workers' comp lawyer in NJ.

Together, these areas of practice reflect the firm’s broad capabilities, but it is their courtroom readiness, personalized approach, and unwavering dedication to justice that set them apart. Injury Lawyers of NJ remains one of the state’s most trusted advocates for injured individuals and families, delivering the kind of advocacy that is both legally formidable and deeply human.

Paving the Way for Women-Led Law Firms in New Jersey

Being featured in Bergen Magazine’s Women in Law issue underscores a truth that Injury Lawyers of NJ embodies every day: women are not just participating in the legal field – they are shaping its future. Strength, resilience, empathy, excellence, and leadership are not aspirations at this firm; they are its foundation.

For Zammitti Shaw & Breen, this recognition is far more than a celebratory moment. It is a call to action – a reminder that the profession needs more women in trial roles, more women leading firms, and more women redefining what powerful legal advocacy looks like in a still male-dominated system. They see themselves not only as attorneys, but as examples for the next generation of women entering law school, clerking, and stepping into courtrooms across New Jersey.

Their commitment extends beyond their firm and their cases. It lives in their mentorship of young professionals, their community involvement, and their persistent fight to ensure that every injured client – regardless of background – has a voice, an advocate, and a path to justice. As the landscape of law continues to evolve, Zammitti Shaw & Breen remain determined to push it forward, championing a future where women-led trial firms are not the exception, but the standard.

Zammitti Shaw & Breen were also recently honored in Bergen Magazine’s 2025 Top Lawyers list.
