About Justin
Biography
Justin is a fearless, enthusiastic young attorney who provides zealous, aggressive advocacy for each and every one of his clients. Soon after passing the bar exam in October 2017, Justin successfully litigated a motion to suppress evidence in a multiple-count, complex corrupt organizations case in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. After spending countless hours researching applicable case law and writing his motion prior to trial, Justin successfully precluded the government from introducing extensive GPS tracking evidence obtained as the byproduct of an illegal seizure of the client’s cell phone. Out of 5 co-defendants in that criminal matter, Justin was the only attorney successful in litigating a pre-trial motion on behalf of their client.
As an Attorney, Justin avidly endeavors to expand his skills and continues to successfully represent his clients in a variety of criminal matters in both federal and state courts of Pennsylvania. As a fiercely committed and eager litigator, Justin is unafraid of bringing cases to trial, having sucessfully tried Homicide, RICO, Firearms, and Narcotics cases to verdict. He approaches each case as an opportunity to further sharpen his litigation skills in order provide his clients with expert legal representation in a variety of forums.
Prior to joining The S2 Firm in 2017, Justin was an active soldier in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard where he served with honor and distinction until 2016. As an Infantry Team Leader with Bravo Company 2/112 Infantry Regiment, he is the recipient of the Army Commendation Medal for sustained acts of meritorious service, as well as the Army National Guard Good Conduct Medal for exhibiting honest and faithful service as a leader in accordance with the standards of conduct, courage and duty. Out of over 4,000 soldiers, Justin was selected to represent the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team in the Pennsylvania National Guard’s “Best Warrior Competition,” and was selected as the “Soldier of the Year” for the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team in 2012. His extensive military leadership skills, values, and discipline have made him a formidable trial attorney.

Determined, transparent and completely invested
Justin came to my desperate aide as a referral. After making a series of very unfortunate decisions that led to my arrest and a pile up of impossible charges, I didn't think I had any other option other than to serve time. I was lost and so was my family in the legality of it all. Once Justin came in...
