One year ago today, we lost our founding partner, Jerry J. Dasti.
Jerry founded our firm in 1984 and spent four decades serving Ocean County: as an advocate for his clients, representing government entities across New Jersey, and as a mentor to the attorneys who followed him. His service extended far beyond the law. At Ocean County College, he served as trustee, treasurer, and finance chairman, and ultimately as Chair of the Board of Trustees—a role he held with great pride. In Lacey Township, he coached youth soccer for over 20 years, basketball for over 15 years, and Little League for over 12 years. He was president of the CSM Robert Gallagher Charitable Foundation and the Lacey Township Chamber of Commerce, and a member of St. Joseph’s Endowment Committee.
His standard — prepare thoroughly, treat everyone with respect, and always put the client first — remains the standard at our firm today.
We miss him and are grateful for the foundation he built. Our thoughts are with Liz and the Dasti family today.
