Biography
I come from a family of Philadelphia blue collar workers and understand how important a weekly paycheck is. I was the first in my generation to go to college and then law school. I worked my way through both.
I have been evaluating and litigating workers’ compensation cases for most of my 27 year legal career. I worked in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas as a law clerk. I later worked for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Both of these positions provided significant insight into decisions that shaped the law. I also tried many criminal cases which gave me invaluable trial experience.
I carry these experiences into our workers’ compensation practice and work to maximize an injured worker’s benefits. While I have effectively negotiated workers’ compensation settlements, my vast experience enables me to try a case as well. So if a settlement is not in a client’s best interest, I can fight to get a successful decision from the Judge.
Let me fight for you. I will personally handle your matter. I will always take the time to listen to your questions and understand your concerns.
