He handles construction site accidents, premises liability, automobile negligence, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, commercial motor vehicle and transportation matters, property damage, and product liability. His work centers on disputes involving workplace injuries and other losses caused by negligence, giving him experience with claims that can involve multiple parties, insurers, employers, and contested questions of liability and damages.

His education was followed by a judicial clerkship with Judge James C. Crumlish, Jr. of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
