Garry R. Salomon, Founding Partner of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., was recognized for his exceptional legal career and advocacy by the New Jersey Association for Justice (NJAJ) at their 8th Annual Awards Dinner. The event, held at The Palace at Somerset Park, celebrated Salomon's significant contributions to the legal profession through the prestigious Gerald B. O'Connor Award.
The award, created to honor skilled trial lawyers who demonstrate outstanding professional attributes, highlights Salomon's four-decade commitment to legal excellence. His involvement with NJAJ dates back to 1984, during which he has been a pivotal advocate against tort reform initiatives and a prominent leader in the legal community.
Partner Adam B. Lederman, who currently serves as NJAJ's President, introduced Salomon, emphasizing his mentor's extraordinary professional and personal qualities. Lederman praised Salomon's leadership, noting his role in guiding the firm through decades of success and establishing a reputation for excellence through strategic and meticulous legal approaches.
Salomon's legal contributions extend beyond individual case success. In 1997, he was appointed to the NJAJ Board of Governors, where he actively worked with partner Marc C. Saperstein to combat lawsuit abuse initiatives. His commitment to professional development is further exemplified by co-founding Litigation at Sunrise, a long-standing educational seminar at NJAJ conferences.
The Gerald B. O'Connor Award recognizes attorneys who demonstrate exceptional trial skills, creativity, and professional integrity. For Salomon, this recognition represents not just personal achievement, but a lifelong dedication to justice and legal advocacy. As he humbly stated upon receiving the award, his work has always been motivated by passion and love for the profession.
With over 2,500 members including attorneys, paralegals, and legal professionals, the New Jersey Association for Justice continues to be a critical platform for advancing legal standards and supporting professional excellence. Salomon's recognition underscores the organization's commitment to honoring lawyers who go above and beyond in their pursuit of justice.
