Q: What kind of lawyer handles theft by a towing company?

My vehicle was towed in NJ and a few weeks after getting the vehicle back when opening the back of the truck there were over 10K of mechanic tools that were stolen. What kind of lawyer handles this kind of case and how long can you file suit?

A: Generally you would want a civil litigation lawyer to handle this type of matter. But even if you call the wrong lawyer many times they can refer you to someone who does.
