About Michael
Growing up with dyslexia taught Michael early on the value of clear communication and the profound impact of having someone stand up on your behalf. That firsthand perspective sparked his determination to pursue a career in law, driven by a desire to be the kind of advocate who helps others navigate complex challenges with confidence.
Michael earned his Juris Doctor from the Temple University Beasley School of Law, where he distinguished himself through the law school’s rigorous Integrated Transactional Program and earned Law Faculty honors.
Deepening his legal interest in global perspectives and complex frameworks, he also completed legal studies abroad at SOAS University of London and Temple’s Rome campus.
Following law school, Michael spent time in Washington, D.C., pursuing his passion for public policy and international law.
Returning to Philadelphia, he was eager to add another string to his bow, expanding his practice and sharpening his litigation skills in the city where his legal journey first began.
A Pennsylvania native deeply rooted in the region, Michael is an active supporter of the city’s vibrant visual and performing arts communities. Combining wide-ranging experience across transactional, regulatory, and court matters, he provides well-rounded, thoughtful counsel to every client he represents.
At MyPhillyLawyer, Michael is committed to guiding clients through pivotal moments in their lives with empathy, practical strategy, and steadfast support from start to finish.”

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.

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.

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.
