About Joseph

I am a 2nd generation personal injury lawyer who practiced in a personal injury boutique with my father and sisters before joining Donald F. Manchel & Associates in 1997.  In 2010, I joined Kane & Silverman, PC to allow me to better serve my clients with offices in Philadelphia, Lancaster and Marlton.  Recently, I decided to finally after 30 years open my own law firm, Moanco Law PC.  I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.  I am a cum laude graduate of the University of Dayton and received my J.D. from Villanova University School of Law in 1989.  Since marrying my wife, Vicky, in 1993, I have resided in Eastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania where I am an active member of the community and raising my two children.  I am a Past President and member of the Kiwanis Club of Glenside.  While President, the club was honored by Kiwanis International with the Emerald Award for outstanding community service.

At Monaco Law PC, I practice exclusively civil litigation on behalf of injured victims.  I concentrate in the areas of traumatic brain injuries, dog bites, premises liability, FELA, motor vehicle liability, products liability and wrongful death.  I have tried cases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as a member of the bars of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of New Jersey along with several United States District Courts.  I have also argued before the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.  In addition, I am an active member of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and America Trial Lawyers Associations as well as the Philadelphia Bar Association, and have been a lecturer for continuing legal education seminars, where I have spoken on investigating a premises liability claim and evidentiary issues in motor vehicle cases.  I am proud to say that I am a wrongful death and injury lawyer that has successfully handled hundreds of personal injury cases including securing individual settlements in excess of $1 million.

    Review Joseph Monaco

    Thank you!

    Our previous lawyer abandoned us and Joseph took our case. He was very understanding and kind and took very good care of us when we we lost my brother due to a fatal car accident over a year ago. It was up to me to find a new wrongful death attorney near me since my parents were grieving and too distraught to handle anything and I couldn't be more thankful for his compassion and service. We can't thank him enough for what he did for us in a very trying time in our lives. Highly recommended just as I would recommend the team at https://thebennettlawgroup.com/wrongful-death-attorney/ in NM.

    Motorcycle accident

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Motorcycle accident.. The guy who caused it is dead!! He was estimated at doing between 83mph and 103mph. His bac was at .12.. We were at the RIVERWALK and covered bridge before the accident. I spent 1 month in a coma... Still going to therapy.. I don't care about the RIVERWALK and covered bridge!! There isn't enough money out there to make this ok, but those two places will be gone after!!! I can be reached by phone if need be.. State police at swiftwater responded and handled the accident.. I was flown into the hospital.. My friends wife ran the unit I was in!!!
