A Trusted Advocate for Injured Workers in Bethlehem, Allentown & Beyond

A Background Built on Discipline & Service
Before practicing law, Tony served in the United States Coast Guard—a commitment that shaped his approach to advocacy and professionalism.

That disciplined foundation remains central to how he practices law today: methodical preparation, clear communication, and never backing down when clients are being treated unfairly.
