This attorney was working for the local township and was sued.  Now,  News Transcript reports that he might have a political prosecution defense, and may have either shielded, hid or voided his legal malpractice insurance.

"Ajudge’s ruling in Manalapan’s lawsuit against a former township attorney leaves both sides preparing for a possible trial.

On Sept. 11 state Superior Court Judge Terence P. Flynn, sitting in Freehold, denied attorney Stuart Moskovitz’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit that was filed against him by the Manalapan Township Committee.

Moskovitz was Manalapan’s municipal attorney in 2005.

Moskovitz said on Sept. 17 that he will now prepare a motion in which he will seek summary judgment in an attempt to have the lawsuit thrown out. He said it could be several months before he presents that motion to the court. Moskovitz said he may need to conduct depositions in order to prepare that document.

In a lawsuit filed in June, Manalapan officials allege that Moskovitz breached his responsibility to the township in 2005 at the time he was serving as the municipal attorney when he drew up a contract of sale for the township’s purchase of two single-family homes on Route 522 in front of the Manalapan Recreation Center.

A home at 95 Freehold Road (Route 522) was purchased for $432,000 and a home at 93 Freehold Road was purchased for $465,500. The township took possession of the properties on June 8, 2005. "
