Pittsburgh, PA Lawyer with 16 years of experience
Free ConsultationPersonal Injury
Duquesne University School of Law
I have always found it odd that many lawyers claim to be “experienced” simply based on how long ago they graduated law school. Some lawyers even take this one step further touting “combined experience” by adding together all the time elapsed since graduation of every attorney at the firm. Experience should not be measured by the number of years that have passed since passing the bar exam and number of grey hairs. Experience should be measured by what an attorney has accomplished since graduation, not when he or she graduated.
Prior to starting my own law firm, I served for...
