"I ask myself, 'What would I expect from a top attorney if I were seriously injured and had an important legal case?' Then, I strive to meet that standard in representing my clients." Attorney Michael Rosenzweig

Attorney Michael Rosenzweig was named a 2007 Pennsylvania Super Lawyer an honor awarded to the top five percent of state-wide lawyers. In addition, Attorney Rosenzweig has been BV Rated by Martindale-Hubbell.

Mr. Rosenzweig has been particularly successful in locating and utilizing government and industry safety codes and standards to benefit his clients. These standards have included codes for construction, OSHA and MSHA, handicapped access, storm door composition, elevators, farm machinery, and roadway design and maintenance.

He has represented clients in various types of Personal Injury cases including, but not limited to:

  • auto accident cases
  • tractor trailer and tri-axle accident cases
  • construction site and mining accident cases
  • elevator and escalator accident cases
  • farm, household, and sporting products defects
  • roadway defect cases and other municipal liability claims
  • alcohol-related accident cases
  • motorcycle accident cases
  • slip and fall cases
  • fraud claims
  • insurance bad faith cases
  • dog bite cases

"My goal is to achieve the greatest recovery for my clients without delay and in a dignified and ethical manner. A seriously injured person has many important issues that arise simultaneously and urgently. It is our job to address our clients' needs as they arise. This often requires us to go down multiple paths at the same time. I have been described as 'tenacious' and even as 'scrappy'. I don't shy from a fight if it is warranted. I have dedicated my career to helping injured and disadvantaged people. I believe our clients need - and deserve - the best representation possible to go toe to toe against the insurance and corporate giants that must be faced."
