Melissa Stone

Melissa Stone works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in New Jersey. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Melissa Stone handles all types of workers' compensation cases in New Jersey, including Workplace Injuries, Medical Benefits, Lost Wages, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In New Jersey, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Melissa immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Melissa Stone's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 16 years of experience in New Jersey workers' comp law, Melissa knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.
