I have tried over twenty five jury trial sin just seven years. I am one of the youngest attorneys in Pennsylvania to obtain a verdict in excess of one million dollars and it was one of the top 40 highest ranking verdicts in 2013.

My experience with criminal defense matters is limited to high exposure, complex matters.

Best Lawyer Ever!

Even though Nick is just a kid, and I have been working in the personal injury area longer than he has been an attorney, I still have to say that he is by far one of the best attorneys that I have ever obtained for personal use. I had a problem with one situation and had to go to court, and I decided... to go myself. Some how my personal injury case got brought up, and Nick got from his office on South Broad Street to 34 South 11th street in 10 minutes flat! He is an awesome kid and speaks highly of his employers. He keeps me updated as to what is going on and I have sent him several cases since I hired him.

Personal injury lawyer | Mar 31

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a trial attorney myself, Nick is the attorney I would hire if I were ever injured in an accident, hands down. One of the few attorneys that is so versatile, I have seen him obtain million dollar verdicts in a personal injury matter, then turn around and beat a murder charge for a criminal defendant. I have tried numerous cases with him and against him, and I promise you, you do not want to be his opponent. He will outwork you 100% of the time. He is a tireless advocate for his clients, extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He has the utmost respect from his peers and the bench. Besides being a preeminent trial attorney (criminal and personal injury), he is one of the most gracious and warm people I have ever encountered. He treats everyone as if they are family. Very proud to call him not only a colleague but dear friend. In sum, he's the man."
