About Us

The firm originated in 1983 when the practice founded by Frank G. Basile merged with the firm Testa and Testa and established itself as a premier insurance defense practice in New Jersey.

Testa Heck Scrocca & Testa, P.A. represents national and regional insurance carriers and their insureds under mutual, commercial, business, personal, homeowner, and automobile policies. Michael L. Testa, Sr., a certified civil trial attorney, has a proven trial track record of winning defense verdicts. Justin R. White, Esq. and Sharon A.

The firm handles both complex and routine cases throughout New Jersey, with meticulous attention to detail. Our work product combines high quality with value.
