As a trained and experienced personal injury trial attorney, I have presented cases before juries throughout the Philadelphia and surburban Courts and the Federal District Court in Philadelphia. I am a Fellow of the Academy of Advocacy, the forerunner to the Temple Law School's Masters in Trial Advocacy and have been Certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the only Board sanctioned by the American and Pennsylvania Bar Associations.

In my first job out of law school, I handled workers' compensation defense cases with PMA Insurance Company and several Philadelphia Insurance Defense law firms. In 1987, I started my own practice representing injured workers throughout Pennsylvania. I have been recognized as a Top Lawyer in this field.

Avvo Rating

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.
