O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble

What O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble does

O'Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble LLC is a New Jersey-based plaintiff-side litigation firm founded in 2008 through the merger of two established NJ practices. The firm concentrates on three practice areas: medical malpractice (including specialized birth-injury work such as cerebral palsy, HIE, and Erb's palsy), personal injury (auto, truck, motorcycle, premises liability), and employment law (discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, FMLA, wage theft). It serves individual plaintiffs throughout New Jersey from its Springfield headquarters, with documented service coverage extending to 17+ municipalities including Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden, and Paterson.

The firm operates on a contingency fee model — clients pay no upfront costs and the firm recovers a percentage of any settlement or verdict — with free initial consultations as the primary lead-conversion mechanism. It markets through peer referrals (including cross-referrals from opposing counsel), client testimonials, a blog and video library for SEO, and dedicated service-area landing pages for each New Jersey city. Notable results include a $28 million wrongful-birth verdict, a $22.6 million employment-discrimination verdict, a $20 million medical-malpractice verdict, and a $17.1 million personal-injury verdict.

The bench comprises 12 listed attorneys: four founding partners (Paul A. O'Connor III, Scott A. Parsons, William R. Lane, Gregory B. Noble), two additional partners (Robert A. Ballard III, Daniel Bause), two of counsel (William V. Lane, Debra Tedesco), and four associates (Jessica Ma, Vilson Gashi, Georgia Bronson, Katherine E. Mayo). All four founding partners are Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and Board-Certified Civil Trial Attorneys by the New Jersey Supreme Court. The firm is privately held, partner-owned, and discloses no external funding, parent entity, or proprietary technology platform.
