Our Areas of Expertise

01.

Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Medical Malpractice

Every day people are injured or killed because of the reckless or negligent actions of others. As the medical bills pile up, so does the stress level. All too often insurance companies take advantage of this stress to make a low-ball offer that will not cover your costs if you were hurt in an accident, in a fall on poorly maintained property, or from the negligence of a doctor or a manufacturer. I will fight to ensure you receive all the compensation you are due.

02.

Workers Comp

 

Injured workers sometimes find their employer standing in the way of their ability to get the workers’ comp benefits they are due after a workplace injury. The employer may say you were hurt before you came to work, or may try to say you are not as hurt as you claim to be. Especially in cases of serious injury, working with a lawyer can help your case.

03.

Criminal Case and
Drug Case

Whether this is your first offense or you have had trouble with the law in the past; whether you have been charged with drunk driving, a drug crime, or a sex crime, I will fight to protect your rights, in and out of court. As a Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer, I have a track record of success in criminal cases.

04.

Probate and Estate Administration

If you have never taken an estate through probate, it is wise to get legal counsel. Executors can be held personally responsible for mistakes made during the probate process. By working with an experienced probate lawyer, you can have confidence that you have handled the probate of the estate properly.

05.

Trial Attorney

 

If a lawyer is not willing and able to try your case the Insurance companies know it.  The Insurance companies know I will win your case.
