A graduate of Duke University and Seton Hall Law School, Alexander received his early legal training and experience at a historic regional law firm based in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Schachtel Law prides itself on providing personalized attention and delivering diligent service to each client that we represent. The office routinely handles civil lawsuits involving small and mid-sized business disputes, contract disputes, real estate litigation, construction litigation and personal injury claims (representing both Plaintiffs and Defendants). The firm has developed a reputation for litigating complex fraud cases in the tri-state area, and currently represents a class of victims of a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme operated from northern New Jersey.

The firm is guided by a commitment to justice and does not shy away from representing clients or subject matter that others may consider controversial. We have represented professional athletes and their family members in high-stakes defamation lawsuits. We have represented police officers and public servants who were terminated because of their refusal to comply with COVID-related vaccination mandates. We have represented victims of “cancel culture” including a New Jersey couple who were sued for expressing unpopular opinions in a widely publicized social media video recording. We treat all clients, regardless of their point of view, with the same measure of professionalism and service-orientation.

With nearly a decade of highly diversified civil and commercial litigation experience, Alexander is an experienced trial lawyer who has delivered courtroom wins to clients across a variety of subject matter areas. He is licensed to practice law in New York and New Jersey and has been admitted to practice before the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court and the Federal District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. He has been recognized as an Super Lawyers Rising Star* in the State of New Jersey from 2019 through 2024 and achieved one of the top 50 civil verdicts (by monetary value) in the State of New Jersey in 2019.
