This experience led to a lifelong interest in medical matters which he has used successfully in representing seriously injured clients. Although he has recovered verdicts and participated in settlements far in excess of $1,000,000, Larry is particularly proud of two recent Chester County jury verdicts where his clients were awarded in excess of $200,000 in cases when the insurance company’s final offers were less than $15,000. These verdicts were among the highest recoveries in West Chester for what are known as soft tissue injuries.

He has made presentations on trial practice to local attorneys through the John Stively Inns of Court and the Chester County Bar Association’s trial attorneys group.

Because of Larry’s long-standing presence in Chester County, he has created an excellent relationship with health care providers in the County. These relationships result in a fair presentation of your case to the opposing insurance company or, if necessary, to a judge or jury.
