Josh Reinitz

But he’s more than an accomplished litigator — he’s a fixture in both the legal community, where he is currently in his second term as a Trustee of the New Jersey State Bar Association, and his local community, serving on the Fair Lawn Borough Council since 2018, currently as its Deputy Mayor. He is renowned for overcoming odds to deliver unexpected results, overturning convictions on appeal, and is a sought-after legal educator who has helped shape statewide policy through his appointments by the Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, including as Chair of the Municipal Court Certification Committee and as a longtime member of the Supreme Court’s Municipal Court Practice Committee.

His peers voted Josh the 2019 New Jersey State Bar Association Municipal Court Practitioner of the Year. He’s also received the Association’s Amicus & Advocacy Award, served as Chair of its Municipal Court Practice Section, and was a fellow in the Bar Association’s inaugural Leadership Academy. He was part of the State Bar team that authored an amicus brief in State v. Olenowski before the New Jersey Supreme Court, which set statewide parameters for DRE testimony in DWI cases.

As managing partner of Reinitz Law, LLC, Josh focuses his practice on defending individuals facing criminal and/or DWI charges throughout New Jersey, trying cases from Sussex to Atlantic County and nearly everywhere in between. He was a member of the first-ever class of 21 attorneys statewide certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Municipal Court Law Attorneys. Beyond the courtroom and the council chambers, Josh brings a well-rounded perspective to his cases shaped by real-world business experience, a background as a credentialed sportswriter, and a stint running operations for an elite women’s college basketball program at Rutgers.

Josh has repeatedly succeeded in overturning or vacating convictions — on direct appeal and through post-conviction relief — and in resolving cases so that clients can preserve the future they have worked to create. Whether it’s researching, crafting, and arguing motions; negotiating favorable outcomes; trying a DWI or criminal case to verdict; or filing, briefing, and arguing an appeal, Josh delivers effective, individualized, judgment-free representation from a client’s first contact through conclusion of the case.
