NJ-Licensed Attorney Law Office of Gordon Estes, Esq.
What New Jersey Law Says
Your landlord has 30 days to return your deposit or explain why not.
A wrongfully kept deposit can come back double.
Your deposit earns interest, and that interest belongs to you.
Some landlord mistakes let you put your deposit toward rent.
Each rule has conditions, and acting on the wrong one can backfire. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you which rules work in your favor.
How It Works
First, tell us what happened. Fill out the form above. Once we've checked for conflicts, we'll email you.
Second, you'll get our legal advice for free. We'll review your situation and explain your options in plain English.
Third, we'll offer services tailored to your situation. That might be a demand letter to your landlord or help filing in court. We'll tell you what each service costs, and you choose what comes next.
Our advice is free, and you've got no obligations after you get it. If you want more help, we don't bill you hourly for normal services, and you'll know the price before we start.
Our Founder
A graduate of Penn Law, Gordon began his career as a public interest lawyer. But as a Deputy Attorney General with the State of New Jersey, he saw ordinary people struggling to navigate a system that overwhelmed and confused them, even as they struggled to afford professional help.
That's why Gordon started Casewell: because traditional law firms aren't built to serve everyday clients.
Here, you pay for what you ask for, not the hours we bill. You know the price before we start. And you choose every step we take.
It's that simple.
