Joseph Cannizzo Jr
Of Counsel
Before law school, Joseph spent more than ten years working in a geriatric care community. That experience gave him a working knowledge of the operational and regulatory standards that govern nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and it informs his work on cases involving alleged elder abuse and neglect.
Joseph earned his Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School in May 2019. During law school he participated in the Honorable Judith H. Wizmur Bankruptcy Pro Bono Project and clerked at Drinkwater and Goldstein, LLP, where his work centered on personal injury litigation. He went on to earn a Master of Laws in Casino Gaming Law and Regulation from the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. While at Boyd, he authored “Hoagies and Hot Slots: How Convenience Store Slot Parlors Could Revive Atlantic City,” published by the International Center for Gaming Regulation.
Joseph is admitted to practice in Alabama. He is also admitted before the United States District Courts for the Northern District of Alabama, the Southern District of Alabama, the Western District of Texas, the Northern District of Indiana, the Southern District of Indiana, the Northern District of Illinois, and the Eastern District of Michigan.
Before entering practice, Joseph clerked for New Jersey Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald and Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt, and he held a New Jersey real estate salesperson license. He is also the author of a poetry collection drawn from his time studying abroad in England.
