Unfortunately, controversies and disputes are not always resolved through negotiation or settlement. Sometimes you have to go to court. When that happens, you want an attorney who “knows his way around a court room.” I have handled numerous cases in various state and federal courts. I have also done appellate work; handling cases in the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. I have also litigated cases in other forums, including the state boards for licensed professionals, AAA arbitration and FINRA.

When an employer contests your application for unemployment compensation benefits, you often find yourself in the middle of a process that involves a hearing to determine whether you are eligible.  Losing that hearing can result in real financial hardship, especially if your termination was not due to willful misconduct or other disqualifying events.  An unemployment compensation hearing is like a “min-trial”; both sides present testimony, enter exhibits and have an opportunity to conduct cross-examination.  You need a lawyer on your side.  I handle unemployment compensation hearings for a flat fee.

If you have a legal issue that you want to discuss or a document that you want a lawyer to review before you sign it, call me. I offer flat fee consultations. Large corporations never make important decisions before “running it past a lawyer”.  Nor should you. Fortunately, you can get the same excellent quality advice and counsel for an affordable price.
