Michael Kowalek, Esq.

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.”
