New Jersey employment law firm Costello & Mains, P.C. is pleased to announce the addition of two new labor law attorneys, Jeanne Ketcha Chestnut and Dan Silverman. These two new associates will work alongside partners Kevin Costello and Deborah Mains to prepare all litigation matters for trial and will begin trying their own cases in 2011.

"We're happy to have them," says Deborah Mains. "We've needed to grow our firm and add talent, but we needed to find just the right people, which we believe we now have."
After receiving her J.D. from Seton Hall in 2006, Ms. Chestnut served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable James P. Hurley of the New Jersey Superior Court in Middlesex County. After completing her clerkship, she handled insurance-related litigation at a law firm in the Edison area.
