Joel Leyner is recognized as a preeminent trial attorney. Although he is frequently retained in complex business, corporate and securities litigation, Joel’s exceptional trial skills have enabled him to recover numerous substantial verdicts in serious personal injury, medical malpractice and products liability cases. A gifted mediator, he is routinely called upon by judges and other lawyers to resolve complicated and serious conflicts among litigants. Joel is frequently appointed by the courts to act as a Special Master in intricate business and environmental tort cases, either to adjudicate a dispute, mediate or to act as a Discovery Master.

Joel co-founded Chasan Leyner in 1957. The firm has produced judges and lawyers of superlative quality as well as founding significant cultural, educational, and health programs and organizations in Hudson County. Under Joel’s leadership, the firm helped found and continues to be a major supporter of the Hudson Inn of Court, which teaches lawyers skills, ethics, professionalism, and civility. Joel is a Master and past President of the Inn.

Joel, a leader of the organized Bar, is currently a Trustee of the Association of the Federal Bar of the State of New Jersey, has served as a Trustee of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Hudson County Bar Association. He has served as the Chair of many important Bar committees and is an emeritus member of the Board of Directors of the Corporate and Business Law section of the State Bar Association. He also served on the Supreme Court Commission on the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Supreme Court of New Jersey Ad Hoc Committee on the Skills and Methods Course. Recognized as an outstanding lawyer by his peers, Joel has been chosen as a Diplomate of the exclusive and prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates as well as a Fellow of the American Bar Association. In 1993, the Trial Attorneys of New Jersey honored him with its Trial Bar Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Justice and in 2002, the Northern NJ chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates chose Joel as the Recipient of its annual award for his Commitment to Excellence in the Profession. In 2005 he was the recipient of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation “Medal of Honor” in recognition of his significant contribution as an attorney toward improving the New Jersey Justice system.

His appointment as one of only five lawyer members of the New Jersey Commission on Professionalism In The Law is indicative of the prestige and respect the legal community affords Joel. When he received its 1995 Distinguished Service Citation, the Hudson County Bar Association noted: "Joel Leyner has served the Bar, the profession and the community in every manner imaginable. He is a teacher and author in addition to having received nearly every honor and position of trust the legal profession offers... When those who provide counsel seek counsel, they often turn to Joel Leyner."

Joel Leyner has been selected as one of “The Best Lawyers in America” in four separate specialties, Appellate Law, Bet-the-Company Litigation, Commercial Litigation and Personal Injury Litigation. He has also been selected by New Jersey Monthly Magazine as one of the “Top Lawyers” in New Jersey. In 2009, Joel was selected by New Jersey Monthly Magazine for its “Super Lawyers” edition, which includes only the top 5% of New Jersey lawyers. Most recently Martindale-Hubbell has awarded its highest peer review rating to Joel for ethical standards and legal ability. A Martindale-Hubbell AV rating is a significant accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
