From our clients
I have had a great experience at MyPhillyLawyer.
They all have shown care, respect and consideration throughout, from the front desk to the back conference room. The efforts of Dean to ensure I would get a fair settlement was second to none. I would truly recommend Dean Weitzman and staff to friends and family.
- Gregory G.
I highly recommend Dean Weitzman.
He was empathetic and listened carefully to the impact the accident had upon my physical and mental health. I believe he negotiated the very best settlement he could have gotten.
- Christina Robertson
My experience with MyPhilly lawyer has been wonderful.
There is nothing better than feeling like the team is on your side. The staff has always taken my calls, no matter what time. I can honestly say I’m extremely grateful for MyPhillyLawyer.
- Corynna Martin
Exceeded my expectations!
Lawyers and staff members were a pleasure to interact with. My case seemed hopeless. I was injured in an accident where the other driver was underinsured. The firm went over and a above make sure I was compensated for my injuries.
- Linda Elkins
I put my trust in this team and they have delivered.
My experience with this firm has been amazing. I lost my daughter in a hit-and-run on Roosevelt Blvd. We believed The city and Penndot were responsible for the disastrous design of the intersection that caused the accident. Dean and John won us a settlement, to me that settlement meant the city and Penndot are taking responsibility.
