The most important words of career advice I ever received – and this may surprise many - came during my service as a Captain in the Army Judge Advocate General’s Office in the Pentagon. I was told that my job as a lawyer was to provide creative guidance and a clear plan of action as to how a commanding officer could legally achieve their mission objectives, because no officer would want me to simply relay the legal restrictions that could stand in their way. I have been guided by, and have successfully implemented, that advice throughout my legal career. 

Mr. Dollinger concentrates his practice in complex transactional real estate, with an emphasis on the leasing and financing of office, industrial and retail properties. He represents clients within New Jersey and throughout the country.
