Our firm has twelve attorneys who have earned their Civil Trial Certification (Richard Levinson, Mark Kuminski, Adam Rothenberg, Brett Greiner, Kimberley Gozsa, Michael Fusco, Robert Cook, Patrick Flinn, Kathleen DiGiovanni, Ronald Grayzel, James Dunn and Jefferson Barnes). Three of our attorneys have earned the Workers’ Compensation Law Certification (Richard Marcolus, Todd Wachtel and Patrick Caulfield).
