Mr. Legg earned two B.A. degrees from the University of Hartford, studying Political Science and Psychology. He then moved to San Diego, California, where he earned his J.D. and graduated a semester early in December 2005. This education supports his work in case evaluation, legal writing, negotiations, document review, and courtroom preparation. His training also helps him explain options clearly when clients face important decisions in stressful and demanding legal matters.

Mr. Legg serves as chief municipal prosecutor in North Bergen, Union City, and Guttenberg, a role that reflects his familiarity with municipal court procedures and public responsibilities.
