John Geaney: Setting A High Bar For New Jersey’s Bar

April 14th, 2016 by Tom Lynch

John Geaney’s been a friend for years. And why not? He’s a Holy Cross and Boston College Law School grad, as well as a Red Sox fan. So, in a way we’re Boston Brothers.

But that’s not important. What is important is that John Geaney is recognized as the pre-eminent New Jersey attorney focusing on workers’ compensation. He heads the workers’ compensation practice for Capehart Scatchard, one of New Jersey’s foremost law firms. There are nearly 40 attorneys in John’s practice department.

John is the author of “Geaney’s New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Manual for Practitioners, Adjusters, and Employers,” and updates it annually. If you have anything to do with workers’ compensation in New Jersey, you need to have John Geaney’s Manual.

In addition to representing a great number of New Jersey’s premier employers, writing a Lexis Nexis Top Blog (a really good one!) and creating the aforementioned Manual, John, teaming with Millennium Seminars, puts on three seminars each year for New Jersey professionals specializing in workers’ compensation.

I’m writing this from today’s seminar in Mount Laurel. I’m attending with Richard Filippone and Mary Ann Kezmarsky, founders of Work Comp Psych Net, a seminar exhibitor and a Lynch Ryan client.

There more than 100 New Jersey workers’ comp pros here, and all of them are highly engaged. Moreover, Geaney’s seminars are always fully subscribed. Attendees keep coming back, and that doesn’t happen by chance. Geaney is charismatic on the podium. The presenters are interesting, articulate and well-regarded. It’s considered a high compliment to be invited to present here.

Around the nation, most states have one, perhaps two, people who set the professional standard for everyone else in their state. In New Jersey, that person is John Geaney.
