I graduated from Temple University School of Law in 1992. Since that time, I have practiced solely in the areas of workers' compensation, social security disability, and related state and federal disability law. This was further limited to just Pennsylvania workers’ compensation matters over the last several years. In addition to Pennsylvania licensure, I am also licensed to practice in the state courts of New Jersey, and am admitted to practice in Federal District Courts in both states. On various occasions, I have been a speaker at public information seminars, as well as seminars sponsored by The Bucks County Bar Association and National Business Institute, on workers' compensation topics. I have also participated in The People's Law School curriculum, teaching a class on workers' compensation. Most recently, I was invited to join the faculty of LawLine.com, a prestigious legal education provider. I am an active member of the Bucks County, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Bar Associations. Away from the office, I serve as President of the homeowners’ association of a 400-residence development.

- Q. Workmen comp case hurt at work ,have 4 bulging disc
- A: I agree with Mr. Belt, if this was a PA injury. However, if you work in NJ, this may be a NJ workers' compensation case. Every State has very different workers' compensation laws. You will need to find an attorney experienced in workers' compensation in the State in which your case resides (my firm only handles PA workers' compensation cases). Good luck!
- Q. question: the workers compensation judge made a favorable decision for me. what should happen in my case now. are ther
- A: If you have litigated your case before a Workers' Compensation Judge, I must presume you have an attorney. If that is correct, the attorney would be the best one to ask this question. Only your attorney has exposure to the full facts and context of your case. We would just be guessing. If you do not have an attorney, you should get one immediately. Good luck!
- Q. Can my employer withhold overtime work due to being on light duty for workers comp?
- A: After you are released to return to work, following a work injury, your employer can elect to offer employment to you within your restrictions. If you continue to suffer a loss in wages due to your restrictions (such as no longer getting overtime work), then you should be receiving partial workers' compensation benefits to make up for your loss of earnings. Call an attorney certified as a specialist in workers' compensation law, whether my firm or another of the fine attorneys on this board, and get advice specific to your case. Good luck!
