A top-rated attorney with more than 16 years of legal experience, Mr. Brusca has achieved notable success representing the most vulnerable in society, and helping them and their families secure the maximum amount of compensation for the injuries and losses they suffered.

A 1996 graduate of The Pennsylvania State University, Mr. Brusca attended Temple University Beasley School of Law, where he obtained his Juris Doctor in 2002.
