Best Attorney on East Coast

Michael Cardamone took me thru my case step by step.He kept me pre-informed of what to do in certain situations so that some insurance adjuster would not get over on me because of my lack of legal knowledge.Michael Cardamome cared about my health and future.And of course he litigated to win my settle...ment. Of more than I ever thought would be possible..If you or anyone in your family is injured while working there is only one Attorney. In Pa you want..Michael Cardamone.FORMER CLIENT DECEMBER 2012...MJR......

WC case

My experiance with Mike Cardamone was great. I have turned to him after a long search for help while dealing with work related injury. Doing it on my own was causing lots of frustration and feeling helpless. Finding the right attorney who will take my case and understand me ( as I was so lost ) was... a long process Mike was IT ! His expertise and willingness to help me to understand the WC process is beyond any words. His is simply GREAT ! Definitely GO TO person. He took my case to his heart and did a great job. Took time in his busy schedule to explain things to me, made sure I am in good hands, that was what I needed the most: feel that I am not alone, well taken care. We got a nice setttlement too. Michael, thank you so much for your help !

"I am a workers compensation attorney and one of Mike's old clients just worked on my house and I got to talking to the fellow. Very nice to hear of the character and skill of this attorney - he took on a difficult case with very little personal gain and treated his client right. Seems like a good person and good attorney.

"Excellent attorney. Mr. Cardamone continues to provide valuable advice on Avvo each time that he responds to a question. Although I have been licensed and practicing for 24 years, including time spent as a judge and magistrate, I continually learn from his answers about different aspects of the law. I would recommend him to everyone."

"I endorse this lawyer as a valuable member of this forum. Attorneys who participate in this forum are providing useful information for those in need and should be commended. Further, the type of information conveyed is in the true spirit of professionalism where information is provided to help those in need which is the underpinning of the legal profession. Often the users of this forum are given second opinions that expand on information or provide contradictory information. Providing information empowers the uninformed to go forward with confronting their legal problems. I recommend and endorse this attorney."

"I have known Michael Cardamone for some time now. He is a fine attorney dedicated to helping victims of work injuries. Michael is constantly getting favorable results for his clients and his clients absolutely love his dedication and service. Mike has a friendly personal touch, but at the same time is fierce in the courtroom when advocating for his clients. I highly recommend Michael Cardamone if you believe that you have a worker’s compensation case."

"I endorse this lawyer's work because I trained him when he was a new attorney. Mike is one of the most energetic lawyers i know. He is fanatical about keeping his clients informed and up to date. He is fearless and aggressive. I am proud that I helped Mike get started as a workers comp attorney but am more impressed by how much he has accomplished through his own hard work and discipline. I could not recommend Mike more highly."

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.
