As an agency attorney at DSS, Audil ensured agency compliance with state and federal data privacy laws and regulations and prosecuted employee disciplinary and fitness hearings before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH).

Prior to law school, Audil attended Seton Hall University where he earned a bachelor's degree in history, was awarded the George Reilly Prize for Undergraduate Research, and interned with the Bergen County Office of the Public Defender.
Audil focuses his practice on insurance defense litigation with an emphasis on personal injury actions that include motor vehicle accidents and property damage cases.
Representing a national self-storage company in a Philadelphia lawsuit, Russo & Gould''s Chuck Stokes forced a Plaintiff to withdraw her claims against the client, and obtained court approval of the dismissal of the client just minutes before the jury panel was brought into the courtroom.
A fun day was had by all as Russo & Gould celebrated its second annual "Take Your Kids to Work Day". Participants ranged in ages from 1 to 14. For the older kids they were treated to a mock trial on a social media post entitled "The Post That Went Too Far"
Congratulations go out to Tashi Vaish who got a unanimous defense verdict on liability earlier today in Supreme Kings on the Salway Nasser v. Tadhbir Singh and Jean R. Joseph case. The plaintiff, who did not know who caused the accident, was a passenger in the insured''s livery vehicle headed to JFK Airport. The co-defendant was also a livery driver and neither driver could be produced for either a deposition or trial.
