In Memoriam: Jay J. Ziznewski (1949-2024)

12.17.2024

It is with great sorrow and profound respect that we announce the passing of Jay J. Ziznewski, our esteemed shareholder and colleague of more than 30 years.

A graduate of Seton Hall University School of Law, Jay spent 48 years practicing law in Middlesex County. He served as an Assistant Middlesex County Prosecutor and Special Deputy Attorney General before he joined the law firm of former Senator John E. Toolan and was a partner in the firm known as Toolan, Abbott, Ziznewski & Hollander. Jay served as law director and corporation counsel for the City of Perth Amboy from 1990-1991, and as municipal attorney from 1990-1994. In 1994 Jay became a shareholder of Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A., where he engaged in the general practice of law. He was also associated with Pro Agents, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilentz. 

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Jay's family, friends, and all those who were privileged to know and work alongside him.
