Compassionate, Experienced, and Results-Oriented

Michael has not only given me sound legal advice that has helped me professionally and personally, but his entire approach brings calm to what can be a tense, frightening, or aggravating situation. He is a solo practitioner with a number of clients. If he's at trial or at a hearing, as lawyers often ...are, Nancy is always able to help me. When I meet with him I have his full attention and, get this, his appreciation of the emotional aspects of a dispute or difficult situation. That alone got me through some very tough times. I saw a review that said Michael was gruff as he headed for trial. I'm amazed he answered the phone! And apparently he used salty language? Hey, he's a Delco lawyer! I'd be suspicious if he didn't! All kidding aside, I heartily recommend Michael for consumer and small business matters, and general guidance on most legal issues an individual might face. If it's not his area, he can guide you to the right place, and you will feel better having consulted him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
