Nick Gagua

Nick B. Gagua is admitted to practice law in New Jersey, as well as the District Court of New Jersey and the Third Circuit of the United States. His practice areas are consumer protection and class action litigation.

Before practicing law, Nick was trained to perform on stage from a very young age, participating in numerous Broadway plays and Ballroom competitions, where Nick wowed audiences with his singing and dance skills.

At the same time, Nick was dedicated to honoring his family’s musical legacy. Drawing on his background in New Jersey’s performing arts community, he co-founded and managed Natalie’s School of Performing Arts in his hometown of Millburn, an endeavor he continued into his early legal studies.

However, despite his success in these ventures, Nick knew his true calling was the practice of law—a path his teachers had encouraged from a young age. After being offered a significant merit scholarship to Rutgers Law School, he decided to fully commit to his legal education.

While in law school, Nick was a senior staff editor of the Rutgers International Law and Human Rights Journal, which was at the time, the only peer reviewed journal on campus. Nick also worked part-time for Professor Troutt, conducting juvenile justice reform research. Nick interned for Essex County based judiciary and criminal defense organizations, earning the Pro Bono Publico award and Saul A Wittes Scholarship.

After graduating law School, Nick worked as a Law Clerk to the Honorable Judge Karina D. Fuentes of the Essex County Superior Court’s Criminal Vicinage.

Away from the office, Nick enjoys lifting weights, reading magical realism, and spending time with his family, friends, and two dogs, and remains an avid car and video game enthusiast.
