Great Attorney

I've had the pleasure of meeting with Nadum & heard so much about him on a friend's case in 2013 & all I can say is he is a great guy, great attorney & he is very passionate when it comes to his clients. I've also consulted him reguarding other matters since & he was very helpful every time. I apprec...iate & cant thank him enough for all of his help! I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great attorney.

DUI advice session

He helped me with advice for my DUI situation that I had not considered before. I was satisfied with my consultation with him and if you are in Philadelphia I would strongly recommend you hire him for any criminal defense issue.

Committed and trustworthy

Nadum helped me with a moderately complicated landlord-tenant case and was completely satisfied with his service. He was not worried about the time it took for me to explain my situation and for him to give me sound legal advice. He offered valuable insights and was completely honest in our dealing, ...ultimately connecting me with someone who was best suited to work on my case. He is a professional and a great person who cares about his clients. Consulting with him was absolutely worth it!

Landlord & Tenant advice session

He was very helpful and he directed me to the right people to help with this issue. And he was also very patient and took the time to understand my situation. I would definitely recommend anyone to call him if they need an advice in a landlord&tenant issue.

Criminal Defense advice session

Was willing to go over the initial time limit to help me out with my situation, which was far from a simple matter. He gave me peace of mind in regards to my situation.

He is committed to his clients and to their families, always communicating with them to try to ease the stress associated with confinement and prosecution. He is also uncompromising.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
