I was in the first graduating class to receive a LLM in Trial Advocacy from Temple University School of Law in 1994. I am a perennial nominee of the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers that comprises the top 5% of lawyers in the state. I am an "Old School" (My Boxing Name) Philly Trial Lawyer.
"John Branigan, a Philadelphia lawyer, is similarly young-looking. A catcher in over-40 baseball leagues — "not softball, mind you," he said — he will be 63 next season.
To his friends, the baseball seems less incongruous than his boxing, which stuns them. Mostly his boxing takes place in classes, but he fights in matches, with mouthpiece and headgear, several times a year.
"Boxers are the best-conditioned athletes in the world,” said Mr. Branigan, who says learning how to take a punch and how to throw one properly is difficult and exhausting. “I fought a kid who was 30 last year and by the third round, he had nothing left — and he was in shape."
By devoting our entire practice to law, we allow ourselves the time and focus to stay up-to-date on a constantly shifting legal landscape. Law is not set in stone—in fact, almost imperceptible changes to the interpretation and implementation of law happen every day. We take pride in our ability to keep track of our practice area, giving us a stronger grasp of law that directly benefits our clients.
