"A Philadelphia Lawyer is all things to all people, depending upon where you are, who you are, whose you are, where you practice, with whom you practice, what area of law you practice, how old you are, how young you are, what area of the City you are from, and what law school you attended." 

“I have tried to model my law career after that of Andrew Hamilton, and have handled a number of cases that required the kind of courage and creativity for which Andrew Hamilton was known.” 

“I have no doubt that we can achieve great progress when we are at our best, working together to improve ourselves, our courts and our community in meaningful ways.”  

“None of what I’ve accomplished in Congress would have been possible without my experience as a Philadelphia lawyer.” 

“I have been proud to serve the legal community in this fashion – helping Philadelphia lawyers remain “Philadelphia lawyers.” It continues to provide a deep sense of pride that we serve and assist the legal profession and community every single day.” 

Since 1981, Philadelphia VIP has created a sustainable source of legal services for Philadelphia's poorest residents through the power of cross-sector collaboration.
