Founder & President
Certified Workers' Comp Specialist
Michael Cardamone has dedicated his entire 27+ year legal career exclusively to representing injured workers. While many attorneys dabble in workers' compensation as one of many practice areas, Michael has focused 100% of his practice on workers' comp - making him one of the most experienced and knowledgeable attorneys in this field in the entire United States.
His commitment to excellence earned him the designation of Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist - a distinction achieved by passing a rigorous examination that only a small percentage of Pennsylvania attorneys attempt, let alone pass. This certification demonstrates mastery of workers' compensation law at the highest level.
Named to the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers list for 10 consecutive years, Michael is recognized among the top 5% of attorneys in the state. But his reputation extends far beyond Pennsylvania - he is regularly consulted by attorneys from across the country on complex workers' compensation matters.
Michael has personally recovered over $50 million for injured workers throughout his career. More importantly, he has helped over 2,000 Pennsylvania workers and their families navigate the complex workers' compensation system and secure the benefits they deserve.
What truly sets Michael apart is his approach: he personally oversees every case and ensures clients have direct access to their attorney - not just a paralegal. Insurance companies know his reputation and take notice when they see his name on a case.
"I treat every client like family," Michael says. "When you're injured and can't work, you need someone who will fight for you like their own livelihood depends on it. That's what I do."
Clients are often surprised to learn about Michael's diverse interests outside the law. These pursuits make him a more well-rounded advocate who connects with clients from all walks of life.
Michael trains in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Aikido. The discipline, strategy, and mental toughness from martial arts translate directly to his aggressive advocacy for clients in the courtroom. When you need a fighter in your corner, Michael brings that warrior mindset to every case.
Michael spins electronic dance music and produces his own tracks. Music is his creative outlet - a way to decompress after intense case work and connect with a completely different community. It's a reminder that life is about more than just work.
Behind the drum kit is where Michael finds his rhythm. Whether it's rock, jazz, or electronic beats, drumming keeps him sharp, energized, and creative. The precision and timing required behind the drums mirrors the attention to detail he brings to every legal case.
"I'm not just a lawyer in a suit - I'm a real person with passions outside the office. When you hire me, you get someone who understands that life is about more than just work. I fight for my clients so they can get back to living their lives."
