Proficient in Spanish, Mike sits on the Board of Directors at Esperanza Immigration Legal Services, which provides low-cost legal services to immigrants and their families.

Both the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers and Rising Stars awards are given after a vigorous selection process. Attorneys are selected through peer recommendation, professional achievement and third-party feedback. Each candidate is then further evaluated based on twelve indicators including verdicts and settlements, pro bono and community services, experience, special licenses and certifications and more. Only 2.5% of all Pennsylvania attorneys are selected for inclusion on the Rising Star list and a mere 5% for the Super Lawyer award.

Our attorneys are dedicated to representing the needs of their clients and to provide support to the community through pro bono services and outreach. If you have any questions or would like to reach one of our firm’s Super Lawyers or Rising Stars, please do not hesitate to contact us.
