Gruber concentrates his practice in personal injury litigation with an emphasis on nursing home abuse and neglect.  A member of both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Bar since 1988, he is an active member of the Camden County and Burlington County Bar Associations and serves on numerous committees.  He is a member of the Board of Governors and Executive Committee for New Jersey Association for Justice (NJAJ) and a member of AAJ’s Nursing Home Litigation Group.  As an attorney dedicated to the protection of the elderly and victims of nursing home injustice, he is a member of National Citizens’ Coalition for Nursing Home Reform (NCCNHR) and a frequent lecturer on these topics for NJAJ, AAJ, Institute for Continuing Legal Education (ICLE), and various other community relation groups.  Mr. Gruber is a principle in the firm of Merovitz and Gruber, LLC with offices in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Brett Newman is known nationally by plaintiff attorneys for his expertise on claims avoidance and reduction.  In 2002, he established the New York based company, Plaintiff Solutions, to provide plaintiffs with objective financial advice at the time of settlement.  Mr. Newman helped establish The Lien Resolution Group and Plaintiff Solutions to assist both individual claimants of personal injury lawsuits and mass tort claimants in the protection of their proceeds and government benefits.  He takes an active role in training settlement professionals to expand their knowledge beyond the traditional structure broker and attorney relationship and is the managing partner of The Lien Resolution Group.

Marlene Wilson works to provide an efficient and secure method for providers of liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance and workers’ compensation insurance to determine the Medicare-entitlement of all claimants and report certain information about those claims to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, allowing clients to focus on case management rather than reporting compliance.  Ms. Wilson is a CPA who spent seven years with an international public accounting firm. She previously served as Vice President in the Insurable Risk Department at Bank of America and Vice President of Risk Management for Compass Group, an $8 billion food service company.  In addition to her CPA, Ms. Wilson holds professional certification as an Associate in Risk Management.  She is the Director of Medicare, Medicaid & SCHIP Extension Act (MMSEA) Compliance for the Garretson Firm Resolution Group and works in their Charlotte, North Carolina Office.
