Since 1991, I have been a trusted and professionally-recognized attorney offering legal services in the areas of workers’ compensation and personal injury. For more than 30 years, my practice has helped clients in the Philadelphia area (Montgomery, Chester, Bucks and Delaware counties) as well as throughout the Commonwealth obtain justice as well as millions in damages for compensation.

Workers’ Compensation

Certified as one of a limited number of specialists in the field of workers’ compensation and recognized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. With my extensive experience in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, I ensure that my client’s rights are protected and that they receive all of the benefits available to them under the law. I regularly appear before judges, defending the rights of injured individuals who have suffered tragic losses as a result of injury both in and out of work. With unparalleled settlements and trial awards, I combine aggressive litigation, negotiating tactics and knowledge of the law, allowing me to obtain the best possible results for my clients. I address legal needs in cases such as:

  • Claim Petitions
  • Review Petitions
  • Suspension Petitions
  • Termination Petitions
  • Penalty Petitions
  • Compromise and Release Petitions
  • Appeals

Personal Injury

I represent individuals injured as a result of the negligence of others. This includes auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, product liability, medical malpractice, premises liability and other similar matters. I have extensive knowledge regarding medical, economic and vocational damages and I combine that with compassion for my clients. I handle:

  • Rear End Collisions
  • Intersectional Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Ice and Snow Accidents
  • Dog Bites
  • Wrongful Death

Reputation for Excellence

I have been recognized as a top attorney in publications such as Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, Main Line Today, Suburban Life Magazine, Montco Happenings and others. I am among the first attorneys in the state to obtain the credentials and pass the rigorous written exam to become a Certified Workers’ Compensation Attorney. I have lectured on the topics of workers’ compensation and personal injury. I have written a series of legal guides on these topics as well.

I have participated as a speaker for the Philadelphia Area Project on Occupational Safety and Health (PhilaPOSH), a non-profit advocacy group that is sponsored by local unions and fights for the rights of Pennsylvania workers. I provide adult education seminars on workers’ compensation in school districts throughout the Philadelphia area.

Jim was with me from start to finish in my workers compensation claim against the national company that I worked for. I was with the company for 44 years before the injury happened and he was right by my side making sure that the company and their insurance company continued to provide me with my benefit until the claim came to a final and satisfactory conclusion. I would highly recommend Jim as a true workers compensation attorney that will fight for you and your rights under the worker compensation law.
