Legal Updates

The attorneys of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman, P.C., sponsors of MyPhillyLawyer.com, practice extensively in personal injury law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. With over 70 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys have obtained significant results for our clients. Along with that background of legal knowledge, they also stay current on new case law and legal updates that can affect their clients' cases.

The law governing personal injury can be complex. A new case that interprets the law differently, or on a new legal issue, can change the way we represent our clients. Legislatures can also enact or change laws, as well. Our attorneys stay on top of these legal changes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey law through continuing legal education classes, seminars, review of bar and legal journals and informal interactions with colleagues.
