Attorney & Law Firm
Although I did not deal with Michael directly for my case. There was some confusion when I had an attorney from the law firm dealing with my case and he left without me being notified. With that being said Richard Coble was sent to the other hearings I had. I was satisfied with how he helped me, and ...

Liar
This man specifically and purposefully is trying to destroy the country and is willing to lie and violate the constitution as well professional ethics. He is a stain on the country. Lies about depositions and is a disgusting evil person with no conscience

US CITIZEN
Mr. Phillyadelphia Attorney you failed America today. Leaving your mark in history is as despicable as the events that occurred January 6th. I hope your defense reasoning's never impact your own future descendants. As history repeats itself when we allow it. You left that door open.
"Michael is an astounding attorney who will fight for his clients. I had the pleasure of working under Mike before law school and his work ethic inspired me to open my own firm after law school. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is the whole package, the ultra rare breed of a true PI trial lawyer and a true courtroom criminal defense lawyer. There is only one other lawyer I know in the last 22 years who is superb, like Mike, in both areas. Mike is equally skilled at defending someone in a homicide case or representing a catastrophically injured person with inadequate apparent liability coverage, the so called coverage tragedy. I had a co-plaintiff with him once. He had incredibly creative theories on the case that caused him to recover every possible penny for his client. I rode his coattails, and learned much from him as he triumphed over the 12 defense attorneys in the case."
"Michael's clients have shared with me his level of detail and solid results, he is a hard working lawyer that you want on your side!"
