For over thirty years, Ted has advocated on behalf of individuals hurt by another’s irresponsible and unsafe conduct. After graduating from Temple Law School in 1993, Ted served as the judicial clerk for the Honorable Michael A. Georgelis in Lancaster County. Upon completing his clerkship, Ted began a tenure with the Lancaster County District Attorney’s office. Handling and trying hundreds of cases while in the DA’s office prepared him to be an effective advocate for those who have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. He currently handles cases involving motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, premise liability, insurance bad-faith, products liability, medical negligence, and nursing home abuse.

After leaving the DA’s Office, Ted became a senior associate with a Philadelphia law firm, where he worked on a variety of high-profile and complex cases, including litigation before the United States Supreme Court. Ted then joined a Lancaster law firm, where he ultimately became a partner. While there, he oversaw and took to trial a variety of cases, championing the causes of victims of medical negligence, nursing home negligence, products liability, auto and truck accidents, premises liability and insurance company bad faith. Ted was lead trial counsel for one of the few plaintiff’s medical negligence verdicts in Lancaster County.
