AV Martindale-Hubbell ratingI am rated 'AV' (preeminent) by the Martindale-Hubbell attorney rating agency based on peer reviews by other attorneys.  'AV' is the highest possible rating and fewer than 5 percent of attorneys achieve an 'AV' rating. 

I opened my patent law office in 1998 and have practiced patent law from that time to the present.  I worked in the Environmental Practice Group of   Drinker, Biddle & Reath from 1996  until 1998 and in the   Environmental Department of Cohen, Shapiro, Polisher, Shiekman &   Cohen, a Philadelphia regional firm, from 1989 through 1995.  I  enforced environmental laws for the Commonwealth of Kentucky from 1977 through 1988. 

I am Chairman of the Pennsylvania Intellectual Property Forum (1998 - present).  I am past Chairman of the  Delaware County Bar Association Intellectual Property Committee  (2002) and past Legislation Co-Chair of the Philadelphia Bar  Association Environmental Law Committee (2000-2001).
