Bio
Jay H. Bernstein manages the Workers' Compensation practice of Kirsch, Gelband, & Stone, in Newark N.J, specializing in Emergency Motions for Medical Treatment and Surgery, with hundreds of successful court orders for emergency surgery and medical treatment. His practice includes Social Security Disability law and appellate practice (pro bono for the N.J. Public Defender).
Mr. Bernstein, who has practiced for nearly 30 years, has represented thousands of injured workers throughout New Jersey, and has been named by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Certified Workers' Compensation attorney, a distinction held by less than 5% of attorneys throughout the State. Jay Bernstein has testified before the NJ Senate Labor Committee to improve emergency access to medical care for injured NJ Workers, and was instrumental in the 2008 Star Ledger coverage and expose of the failed system of Health Care Delivery to NJ Workers, and the introduction and passage of legislation to improve the Workers Compensation Law in New Jersey.
Mr. Bernstein is the Vice President of the GR NJ Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and a practicing, licensed EMT. He has served as a legal clerk for the Ministry of Justice, State of Israel, in Jerusalem; a legal intern for Congressman Torricelli, in the U.S. Congress; and as a Legal Aid Attorney, representing homeless children and families in Trenton, N.J. Mr. Bernstein received a Commendation for Superior Performance from the Trial Defense Service of the United States Army, JAG Corps, Ft. Knox, Kentucky,
and a commendation for Volunteer Service in the First Gulf War from the State of Israel.
Jay is a an original founding member of the NJ Mass Disaster Legal Response Program, which has served families of the 9/11 Terror attack, and Sandy Hurricane and flood victims in the region, giving free legal aid and services. Email: "
