Mr. Belli dedicates his work to protecting the rights of injured workers from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds throughout the State of New Jersey including those who have suffered permanent and catastrophic injuries as well as workers injured due to the negligence of a third party.

    Mr. Belli has secured total and permanent disability benefits for injured workers as well as medical treatment and benefits for workers who have sustained injuries due to the daily exertions and exposures of their employment.

    Mr. Belli is an active member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, New Jersey Association for Justice, Camden County and Burlington County Bar Associations, and the Workers’ Injury Law and Advocacy Group (WILG) where he sits on the editorial board for Workers’ First Watch, the organization’s semi-annual membership magazine.
