“It is a great honor to receive a 2021 NJBIZ ICON Award,” Mr. Stern stated. “I’ve always been proud to be a leader in Stark & Stark’s Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries practice. I will make sure to continue to serve my clients and community through my strong work ethic and leadership efforts.”

The 2021 honorees, who were selected by a group of independent judges, represent a diverse number of industries, including construction, finance, nonprofits, education, marketing, real estate, law and more. They were formally recognized during a recent virtual awards ceremony.
