He has also been named a New Jersey Super Lawyer for more than 10 consecutive years (2011-2022). He earned his B.S. in Business Administration from Villanova University in 1987 and his J.D. from Widener University School of Law in 1990, then completed a two-year trial clerkship with the Honorable Nicolas D'Alessandro in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. He spent years at Klovsky, Kuby and Harris before forming the New Jersey firm of Rispoli, Borneo and Suthard in 2000, concentrating on third-party personal injury litigation. He is Vice Chair of the American Association for Justice Motor Vehicle Collision, Highway, and Premises Liability Section, has served on the AAJ Trucking Litigation Group Executive Board, and is a Board of Governors member of the New Jersey Association for Justice.
