Welcome to my web page. I am a solo attorney in the Philadelphia area. I have 31 years experience in environmental, and health and safety matters, as well as the real estate issues and litigation claims that arise from these matters. I am known for sound advice and skillful advocacy, but most of all as a problem solver. My hourly rates are lower than they were as a large firm partner nine years ago; but most importantly, I will get the job done cost effectively, with paralegal and additional counsel resources added only as necessary, and without an "entourage" of associates billing their time to you.
