Need a good cheap lawer in NJ to get security back from Landlord

Hi, I just moved out with proper notice after living on a residential property for around 6 years.

Landlord returned me after 1 month and one week a check of $320 out of $2650 of security.

He gave a list of expenses like paint, cleaning of carpet, door repairs etc.

I want to go for court to fight against it and need a good but cheap lawyer in NJ.

Concern property is in Bayonne, but lawyer/attorney can be from anywhere in NJ .

I guess rules are same everywhere within state like Bayonne, Hoboken, Union, Jersey city, newark etc.

Always makes me laugh to see people who want a "good, cheap attorney". You get what you pay for! If you're in the real estate business, you should know that this is no different than wanting a big house in great condition, best neighborhood, great schools, with great long-term tenants and a huge property, but has to be cheap. If you found something that actually met that criteria, you would probably wonder why it was cheap, right?
