The law firm of Scarinci Hollenbeck LLC announced it added six attorneys in its Commercial Real Estate Group. The expansion significantly enhances the Little Falls-based firm’s already renowned practice in an effort to better service its clients’ needs throughout the New Jersey and New York metropolitan area.
“Our Real Estate Department has consistently worked with the area’s largest developers on major projects,” Donald Pepe, chair of the department, said. “This expansion demonstrates our commitment to meeting our clients’ diverse needs with comprehensive, one-stop legal support.”
Adding to its team positions the firm to offer a more robust level of support for its real estate clients, including specialized services in real estate litigation, construction litigation, commercial and industrial leasing, landlord-tenant matters such as evictions and foreclosures, Mount Laurel and affordable housing, and condominium and owner matters.
The new additions to the team include:
Little Falls office
- Michael Willner brings more than 20 years of experience handling commercial and residential real estate transactions, real estate litigation, leasing and construction law issues. While his practice covers virtually all aspects of real estate law, Willner primarily focuses on handling matters relating to condominium and cooperative law, commercial and residential real estate transactions, and related litigation. Over the span of his career, Willner has litigated a wide variety of matters involving landlord-tenant law, zoning issues, mechanic’s liens, foreclosure actions, contract disputes, construction defect claims and other management issues.
- Douglas Ehrenworth has over 30 years of experience. Ehrenworth focuses his practice on all aspects of commercial real estate, corporate and LLC entity formation, structures and governance, commercial transactions, contracts and related litigation.

- Working alongside Ehrenworth is Kaylin Olsen, who devotes her practice primarily to residential and commercial real estate transactions, evictions and landlord-tenant matters. She routinely offers alternative dispute resolution and negotiates and drafts a wide variety of commercial contracts, real property leases and subleases on behalf of clients.
Red Bank office
- Robert Baker Jr. primarily focuses his practice on commercial leasing, bringing over 20 years of experience representing commercial property owners, landlords, tenants and developers in real estate transactions in various markets across the country.

- Daniella Dalia is a seasoned attorney who primarily focuses her practice on complex litigation, commercial real estate and other general matters on behalf of high net worth clients.

- Michael Jedziniak has become one of New Jersey’s preeminent Mount Laurel (affordable housing litigation) attorneys over his 20-year career and has represented over 60 municipalities and a number of developers in all corners of the state. Jedziniak has guided governing bodies, planning and zoning boards, administrators, general counsel, planners and other municipal representatives on affordable housing matters before the former New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing and all levels of the state judiciary.
