New Jersey trial lawyer Ray Shebell has commited his life to providing compassionate legal services to injured workers and accident victims.

Born and raised in Asbury Park, Ray spent most of his childhood admiring his family's generosity and commitment to the residents of Ocean and Monmouth County. The Shebell family has been providing legal services to New Jersey residents since 1927, so it was no surprise when Ray chose a career in fighting for therights of injured people against insurance companies, big business, and the government.

After graduating from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1974, Ray worked his way up to being an Assistant Attorney in Asbury Park. Ray then served as a Municipal Court Judge in Asbury Park, Bradley Beach and Neptune Township. After three years as a City Attorney in Asbury Park, Ray served as a Special Counsel for the city.

Ray's primary legal focus involves New Jersey Worker's Compensation claims for workers who have suffered an occupational exposure injury, or any other type of on-the-job inury or workplace accident. Ray has been recognized for his commitment to the workers and was named a New Jersey Super Lawyer in 2008 and the Best Lawyer in America in 2006.

Ray is the Chairman of the Workers' Compensation Committee and is a member of the American Association for Justice, American Judges Association, New Jersey Institute of Municipal Attorneys, American Arbitration Association, and serves as NJ Workers' Compensation Inn of Court Master of Bench.
