I chose to represent people who unfortunately suffered a life-altering injury because I saw first-hand the impact that this can have on a loved one and their family. What sets me apart is that when a client leaves my office, they have peace of mind knowing that they and their family will be protected. I have been representing injured clients for two decades and have recovered millions of dollars in damages for my clients. First and foremost, I make sure they get the proper medical care that they require. I provide representation for Workers’ Compensation, Heart and Lung Act, and Act 632/534 Benefits throughout Pennsylvania. I represent injured workers, including police officers, firefighters, correction officers, and injured union and non-union members. I handle all aspects of the litigation for workers’ compensation, Heart and Lung Act, and Act 632/534 benefits. These benefits include return to work orders, appeals from the denial of benefits, permanency proceedings, disability pensions, short and long-term disability benefits, offsets, collective bargaining agreement grievances, arbitrations, unfair labor practices, lump sum settlements and buyouts.
