He was referred to as one of Pennsylvania’s “Lawyers on the Fast Track” in 2009 and honored as one of the “Best of the Bar: Philadelphia’s Top Lawyers” in 2018. Thomson Reuters also recognized him as “one of the top 100 lawyers in Pennsylvania”. Nationwide he was named “American Association for Justice and the National Trial Lawyers – Top 100”.
