New Jersey native Daryl L. Zaslow is one of America’s most accomplished trial lawyers, a fiercely competitive practitioner with one of the most impressive records of success for his clients over the last two decades. What’s more. he has tackled - and prevailed in - some of the most complex civil cases litigated in the region. Many of his clients are victims or the survivors of medical malpractice and accidental death. Zaslow continues to obtain some of the leading recoveries for his clients. In 2020, Mr. Zaslow was recognized by Best Lawyers in America as its “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs, in New Jersey. In 2020, Mr. Zaslow was also recognized by The New Jersey Law Journal and TopVerdict.com as having obtained four of the Top 10 reported settlements in New Jersey in 2019. The recognition and recoveries included the largest recovery in a Medical Malpractice case ($6.5 Million); Two of the Top Three largest recoveries in Medical Malpractice cases ($6.5 Million and $5.0 Million); and the largest recovery in a case that did not involve a class action ($6.5 Million).

Mr. Zaslow also had five of the Top 20 recoveries included in this list, and was the only attorney who had more than two of the Top 20 recoveries. Zaslow also represented the survivors of Tracy Morgan’s friend James McNair, the only person killed in the NJ Turnpike crash that severely injured Morgan as well. The recovery he obtained for his clients in that case received national media attention. After several years as a partner at another prominent firm, in 2011 Zaslow joined as a named partner Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow, with offices in Red Bank, Toms River and Edison. The firm has a strong record of success across a range of personal-injury areas of the law. And yet, for his early successes as a trial lawyer, Zaslow remains well grounded, with genuine enthusiasm and passion for his craft. It’s helped to have a stable rhythm to his life: Today he, his wife and two young children, live four doors up the block from the house he grew up in.

Zaslow’s competitiveness and leadership showed up early: Through the seasons he was Holmdel High School’s starting quarterback, point guard and All-County catcher - he won a baseball scholarship to The College of William & Mary, where as a District III Academic All-American he captained a squad that set a school record for wins. Even then Zaslow envisioned becoming a courtroom lawyer: “Of course, everyone who has ever played dreams of going to ‘The Show’. But I was always focused on going to law school whenever my baseball career ended.” To Zaslow trying cases is “the closest any profession comes to having clear winners and losers - the competitor in me always wanted to be in the courtroom.”

After law school he joined a medical malpractice defense firm, and despite a lifetime of admiring the medical profession (including his father, a dentist) Zaslow says he quickly became disenchanted with defense work when he routinely observed the immense and unnecessary damages caused by medical negligence. In recent years Zaslow has established a reputation as a tenacious trial attorney who regularly obtains excellent results for clients, peers say. He has won multi-million dollar verdicts in cases involving permanent brachial plexus injuries sustained by children at birth and in the emotionally wrought and exceedingly complex area of malpractice involving errors in the prenatal diagnosis of birth defects. His secret? “I’m admittedly obsessive about my cases. I love what I do, and the competition of trying cases. As such, I am constantly looking for ways to win at trial and obtain the best results for my clients.” When he is not obsessing about his next trial he enjoys spending time with his family and fishing.
