Overview

Max defends clients in mass tort and product liability cases. He practices from Philadelphia as a member of our virtual office, The Link.

Max always knew he wanted to be a trial attorney: he thrives on the competition of litigation and the challenge of winning for his clients. Max began his legal career with two judicial clerkships in civil, criminal, and family law, which provided him with a firsthand view of litigation strategy and judicial decision-making in a wide range of cases.

Max focuses his practice on mass tort and product liability litigation. Much of his time is devoted to the representation of a leading self-storage and truck rental company. He also has significant experience defending clients in education, medical device, kidney dialysis, forklift manufacturing, natural gas distribution, and scrap metal industries in personal injury, premises liability, and product liability cases.

Max has experience in all stages of litigation and has successfully defended clients at arbitration and trial in Philadelphia. He has an unwavering commitment to preparation and leaves no stone unturned in defense of clients throughout the entirety of each case.
