Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

I graduated from Temple University School of Law in 1992. Since that time, I have practiced solely in the areas of workers' compensation, social security disability, and related state and federal disability law. This was further limited to just Pennsylvania workers’ compensation matters over the last several years. In addition to Pennsylvania licensure, I am also licensed to practice in the state courts of New Jersey, and am admitted to practice in Federal District Courts in both states. On various occasions, I have been a speaker at public information seminars, as well as seminars sponsored by The Bucks County Bar Association and National Business Institute, on workers' compensation topics. I have also participated in The People's Law School curriculum, teaching a class on workers' compensation. Most recently, I was invited to join the faculty of LawLine.com, a prestigious legal education provider. I am an active member of the Bucks County, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Bar Associations. Away from the office, I serve as President of the homeowners’ association of a 400-residence development.

I have been working exclusively for the benefit of injured and disabled clients for more than 20 years. I have focused my practice exclusively in injury and disability related fields, such as workers’ compensation, social security (SSDI and SSI), disability insurance claims (ERISA and private disability insurance), and unemployment compensation claims.

If you choose to retain our firm, you can be confident that your case will be given individual attention by me. I understand that your case is your only concern. From the moment you take part in your free consultation to the moment your case is fully resolved, my staff and I will be at your side, working with you and fighting to get the relief you need.

I place an emphasis on education, service and results. Throughout the duration of each case, I emphasize educating clients about the law. I speak with clients about their concerns and make sure they are considering all the appropriate issues. My staff and I strive to answer questions promptly and keep clients informed about the status of their case. I am happiest when my client understands her case so well that she is able to make her own decisions about how she wants the case to proceed.

The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation & Disability Lawyer blog is an extension of my passion for education. I frequently talk to injured and disabled workers who do not need my services, but who can always be better educated about their rights. Through this blog, I hope to reach out to others like them, who don’t need an lawyer yet but will better understand when they need to contact a lawyer after learning more about their rights.
