Koestel concentrates her practice on commercial litigation, construction law, and general business law matters in New Jersey and New York.
“This is a well-deserved recognition, as Deanna has earned a reputation among colleagues as a superb lawyer,” said Pashman Stein firm chair and managing partner Michael S.
