      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      I opposed JoAnn Needleman on several occasions in FDCPA litigation in the Eastern and Middle District Courts for Pennsylvania. I found Ms. Needleman to be fair, rationale, and pleasant to work with in resolving litigation disputes. I recommend her to debt collection agencies in need of FDCPA defense.
