Philadelphia personal injury lawyers

It's extremely gratifying to help people and right wrongs. I concentrate much of my practice on pharmaceutical and medical device litigation. It's a massive industry that over the years has put profits ahead of patient care. I firmly believe I have made a difference in my client's lives. I take tremendous pride in holding industry accountable for their actions.

Personal injury lawyers even the playing field for people hurt by big business. We enforce the constitutional right to trial by a jury. Access to the courthouse must be preserved otherwise people will lose their right to just compensation.

I am passionate about representing individuals who have been victimized, typically by big corporations, chemical manufacturers, careless professionals. Most of our clients are dependent upon us to obtain justice. There is nothing more gratifying than knowing justice has been done.

In looking back at more than 30 years of practicing law, I realize how fortunate I have been to have worked with clients who put their trust in me at some of the most difficult times of their lives and who allowed me to help them secure their futures and their families' futures.

The most important trait is hard work and focus. I think sometimes certain law firms become almost like a mill, punching out cases with a lot of the work being done by their staff. Not a lot of thought goes into those individual cases. Proportionally, making each case truly successful requires a great amount thought and work. That’s a lawyer’s professional obligation.

I'm most proud of the opportunities I've given so many clients to live their lives with honor, hope and financial security. Along the way, I've had many opportunities to make America a safer place to live by forcing corporations to improve upon the safety of every product they sell-to avoid the wrath of our civil justice system.

It's rewarding to represent individuals - you feel a lot of responsibility to do right by them. When you get the call from someone who is genuinely grateful, you feel good that you've made a difference.

It all comes down to this analogy: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Plaintiffs in a class action are not only addressing their own problem, but they are also representing potentially thousands of people with a similar problem. When people join together to go after a common wrongdoer, they are much stronger and more powerful than if they file an individual lawsuit.
