Urgent New Jersey Litigation Attorney Needed — Contingency or Pro Bono Only — Bergen County Case
Budget: $2 – $3 USD
Important: This is a contingency-or-pro-bono-only request. I cannot pay an upfront retainer, hourly fee, paid consultation fee, or deferred hourly fee from personal funds. Any attorney fee would have to come from recovery, settlement, judgment, fee-shifting if available, or be waived. Please respond only if you are willing to evaluate the case on that basis. Any Upwork budget field is only a platform placeholder.
Timing is urgent. Motions are presently scheduled for June 10, 2026, and the trial date is presently scheduled for June 15, 2026. I am seeking counsel as soon as possible for any judge-facing, hearing-facing, settlement-facing, trial-preparation, or trial-facing role that may be needed, especially if any portion requires in-person or live court participation.
I am seeking a New Jersey-licensed litigation attorney for an active civil case pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Bergen County.
I am currently appearing Pro Se as the named individual defendant/counterclaimant. I need attorney support for possible judge-facing, trial-facing, settlement-facing, or appearance-related parts of the case.
The case involves a private-lending / real-estate transaction, counterclaims, title and recorded-instrument issues, damages, and trial-management issues. The materials are document-heavy, but the core record has already been organized and filed, including an Appendix XXIII / Rule 4:25-7(b) submission, an exhibit index/proof roadmap, and a shorter supplemental clarification filed to clarify the damages structure and key issues.
The case concerns, among other things:
a $300,000 private-lending transaction that resulted in a documented cash-to-borrower figure of approximately $2,749.45;
usable-proceeds and transaction-workability issues;
broker/lender fee issues;
payoff, valuation, sale, and accounting issues involving the project collateral property;
recorded deed, mortgage, assignment, power-of-attorney, title, release/correction, and ownership-treatment issues involving the residence collateral property;
alleged title, loss-mitigation, foreclosure-leverage, arrears-pressure, and certified-clearance consequences tied to the residence collateral property;
damages structuring, including approximately $327,000 in presently itemized compensatory/statutory/equitable categories, with punitive damages sought only if the legal standard is met.
The filed materials present a transaction-workability, collateral-control, recorded-instrument, and damages case. The record includes a $300,000 private-lending transaction with a documented cash-to-borrower figure of approximately $2,749.45, organized proof regarding payoff/valuation/sale/accounting issues for the project collateral property, and a separate proof lane involving the residence collateral property. That residence-collateral-property lane includes recorded deed/mortgage/assignment/power-of-attorney issues, later title/ownership treatment, release/correction issues, and alleged downstream consequences involving loss mitigation, foreclosure leverage, arrears pressure, and the need for certified title clarification. The case needs a New Jersey litigation attorney who can quickly evaluate and present these proof lanes for settlement, hearing, trial-management, or trial purposes.
I am looking for an attorney who is admitted in New Jersey, understands civil litigation, and is willing to review the filed materials quickly to determine whether the matter can be handled on a contingency or pro bono basis only.
Five core documents are available for initial review and are attached here:
case summary;
filed supplemental clarification regarding usable proceeds, damages structure, and residence-collateral-property issues;
filed letter of transmittal / notice of filing for the Appendix XXIII submission;
filed Appendix XXIII / Rule 4:25-7(b) submission;
filed Exhibit Index / proof roadmap.
Additional materials are available if there is genuine interest, including relevant pleadings, selected transcript excerpts, selected key exhibits, court notices, scheduling materials, and the larger exhibit packet. I prefer to provide the full exhibit packet only after initial conflict screening and genuine interest, because the exhibit set is large.
Again, this is not a paid hourly or paid consultation request. I cannot pay an upfront retainer, hourly fee, consultation fee, or deferred hourly fee from personal funds. Please respond only if you are open to evaluating the case for contingency or pro bono representation.
