NEWARK, NJ – Calcagni & Kanefsky, a boutique Newark-NYC litigation and investigations firm, continues its expansion, welcoming three attorneys to its team of former Federal and State Prosecutors. The attorneys join CK’s Newark offices and include Partner Walter R. Krzastek and Associate Gregory S. Mullens, as well as Of Counsel Kathleen Jackson Shrekgast.

Calcagni stated. “Walter, Greg, and Kathy represent the very best of the legal profession and we’re thrilled having them aboard.”

Walter Krzastek, most recently a Partner with a preeminent national firm, focuses his practice on white collar criminal defense and complex commercial litigation.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working on matters alongside Tom, Eric, and their colleagues at CK for years, witnessing the rise of the trial boutique as one of the most successful of its kind,” said Krzastek. “Now, as part of this special team, I’m looking forward to adding to the remarkable, client-driven service for which the firm has become known.”

A former Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor, Greg Mullens joins CK’s deep bench of former Federal and State Prosecutors, bringing his outstanding experience to bear in conducting sensitive internal investigations and defending clients facing criminal charges.

“I’m thrilled to be joining CK, where my prosecutorial background is a natural fit with the firm’s focus on helping clients resolve the most complicated criminal and civil disputes,” said Mullens.

CK also welcomes Kathleen Jackson Shrekgast, who joins the firm’s management team as Of Counsel. A former litigator at premier international law firms in Chicago and Philadelphia, Shrekgast will focus on driving key initiatives including professional development and legal ethics.

Added Shrekgast: “CK is committed to the highest standards of practice. I’m delighted to be onboard and leading that effort.”
