In 1983, The Radano Law Firm was founded by Nicholas G. Radano, in an effort to serve his community. Shortly after, in 1985, Mr. Radano established a partnership with Mr. Melville D. Lide, the goal being to create a law firm that would expertly handle its client’s legal needs, while breaking the stereotypical barrier where clients are at arm's length throughout the process. This ideology was especially important to Founding and Managing Partner, Mr. Radano who, since he was a boy, always felt the need to defend those who could not defend themselves, even arguing with his school teacher when he felt that he or other friends were being treated unfairly. Mr. Radano has been practicing law since 1977. In his 45+ years of experience, he has passionately represented several thousands of clients with a variety of personal injury claims such as: Automobile Accidents, Catastrophic Injuries, Motorcycle Accidents, Hit and Run Accidents, Slip and Falls, Trucking Accidents, Dog Bites, and Defective Products Incidents. His expertise in handling personal injury matters in New Jersey and Pennsylvania has resulted in significant settlements for his clients, such as $3,000,000.00 for a Trucking Accident Recovery, $2,300,000.00 for Wrongful Death as a Result of an Automobile Accident and $1,400,000.00 million for Brain Injury Sustained in a Bicycle Accident. Mr. Radano currently maintains his license to practice in both the States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Mr. Melville D. Lide has been practicing law since 1980 and was admitted by the Supreme Court of New Jersey to practice before the Courts of the State of New Jersey and to practice before the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Mr. Lide has successfully argued hundreds of motions and has also successfully briefed and argued matters before the Appellate Division and the Supreme Court of New Jersey. He has over 43 years of practicing law and provides a wealth of knowledge to the cases handled at Radano & Lide. Since its founding in 1984, the Radano & Lide team has grown, and now includes three partners: Mr. Nicholas G. Radano, Mr. Melville D. Lide, and Mr. Michael J. Gaffney. Together, they have over 100 years of combined legal experience. Radano & Lide has also employed two additional associate attorneys; Paul V. Orecchia, Esquire, and Kelly A. Dougherty, Esquire. Michael J. Gaffney has been a firm partner with Radano & Lids since 1996 and is a Certified Civil Trial Attorney who has logged hundreds of hours of jury trial experience. His dedication, high ethical standards, and exceptional service to his community have awarded him recognition as Professional Lawyer of the Year in 2022 and 2023. Paul V. Orecchia is a senior trial attorney and has over 25 years of legal experience, including personal injury trials. Prior to joining the Radano & Lide firm, Mr. Orecchia practiced in areas of law such as Civil, Corporate, Business, and Estate litigation. Kelly A. Dougherty graduated from Rutgers School of Law in 2012 with her Juris Doctorate. She was also accepted into the Journal of Law and Public Policy, where her work was chosen for publication.
