A Successful And Reputable Law Firm

Haines & Yost prides itself on the quality of legal representation it provides to all of its clients. This law firm and its predecessor have been practicing in Toms River, NJ for over 60 years, serving thousands of clients and handling numerous cases involving many important issues. In each case we strive to provide our clients with the highest level of personal care and attention, listening to them, understanding their concerns, working with them to craft individualized solutions, and actively pursuing their goals for them. At our law firm, we take our responsibilities as lawyer, counselor, and advocate very seriously. We maintain an open line of communication with all clients, returning their telephone calls very promptly and keeping them informed and involved in the progress of their legal matter. Being a smaller law firm, we are able to provide direct one-on-one contact between client and attorney.

From our office in Toms River, New Jersey, we provide a broad array of legal services to our individual and business clients throughout Ocean County, including the communities of Dover Township, Brick Township, Jackson, Manchester, Berkeley, Forked River, Lacey, Ocean, Barnegat, Stafford, Little Egg Harbor, Long Beach Island, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Lavallette, Bay Head, Manahawkin, Mantoloking, and many more. We represent our clients at both the trial and appellate levels. Our law firm engages not only in litigation work, but also in alternative forms of dispute resolution, handling numerous cases through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration over the years. At the present time, the focus of our practice is on the areas of:

• Criminal Defense
• Personal Injury
• Business and Commercial Litigation and Construction Lawsuits
• Elder Law

Attorneys Richard S. Haines, Steven E Yost, and Jerome C. Landers have extensive experience representing their clients in various kinds of legal matters. They are committed to providing the highest caliber of legal service available and routinely go the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction. This has earned them the trust and respect of many clients, many of whom have stayed with them for many years. They enjoy an excellent reputation in the community and most of their newer cases are based on referrals and recommendations by other attorneys and clients.

Mr. Haines is one of only a handful of attorneys in New Jersey to be certified by the Supreme Court in both criminal and civil litigation. He has handled major criminal cases in both state and federal courts, and regularly represents other lawyers accused of wrongdoing. Mr. Yost has represented clients in many cases that have been awarded substantial verdicts or awards. See our Attorney Profiles page for details.

Finally, as we all know, everyone has been or will likely be affected by the consequences of aging or the death of someone close to them.  People are sometimes uncertain about how to address these issues for themselves, their family or their friends.  Haines & Yost provides comprehensive direction to our clients in addressing these uncertainties.

For the aging client, we advise how to enter the future with a clear understanding of what choices are available in preserving assets for a spouse or children without compromising the present.  We advise any client who asks how to plan for the proper transfer of their property after they die.  For those concerned about their ability to maintain control over their life where an accident, stroke or mental disease might rob them of a compete understanding of their circumstances, we establish a method to anticipate this unlikely, but devastating, problem.  And, where a client faces the difficulty of dealing with someone exhibiting confusion, forgetfulness and vulnerability to being taken advantage of, we secure safety and comfort in protecting that loved one.
