Attorney Information

Overview

I come from a family of Philadelphia blue collar workers and understand how important a weekly paycheck is. I was the first in my generation to go to college and then law school. I worked my way through both.

I have been evaluating and litigating workers’ compensation cases for most of my 27 year legal career. I worked in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas as a law clerk. I later worked for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Both of these positions provided significant insight into decisions that shaped the law. I also tried many criminal cases which gave me invaluable trial experience.

I carry these experiences into our workers’ compensation practice and work to maximize an injured worker’s benefits. While I have effectively negotiated workers’ compensation settlements, my vast experience enables me to try a case as well. So if a settlement is not in a client’s best interest, I can fight to get a successful decision from the Judge.

Let me fight for you. I will personally handle your matter. I will always take the time to listen to your questions and understand your concerns.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
