In the mid-70s the firm’s practice expanded to include the representation of labor unions and Taft-Hartley Funds. In addition, the office maintains several legal services plans for union members and their families and a general practice in the areas of personal injury, workers’ compensation, criminal law, bankruptcy, family law, commercial litigation, and disability. To serve the needs of clients, the firm opened a second office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
