He believes in treating every client with respect and dignity and in working hard to see that justice is done. Bob鈥檚 20 years of experience have given him a unique ability to see the big picture in any case and to anticipate outcomes before they occur.

Over the past two decades, Bob has been working at the forefront of Nursing Home Litigation in the United States. Throughout his career, Bob has been dedicated to preserving and expanding the Constitutional Right to Trial by Jury, a bedrock principle of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Through his appellate advocacy, Bob has opened the Courthouse doors to people who previously were denied the right to Trial by Jury, and in doing so has ensured that a fundamental right of our society is both preserved and respected.
