Michael L. Weiss

Board-certified as a civil trial advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a civil trial attorney, Michael L. Weiss brings extensive courtroom credentials to Weiss & Paarz Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Concentrating exclusively on medical malpractice throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania, he leverages his advanced certification and extensive trial mastery to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable while securing vital justice and financial recovery for severely injured patients.

Recognizing that medical malpractice defense teams spare no expense, Mr. Weiss invests immense effort, time and team-backed resources into prosecuting each claim successfully. Driven by a deep commitment to severe injury and wrongful death victims, he approaches every trial determined to provide an unyielding voice against powerful opposition. For him, fighting tirelessly inside the courtroom to give vulnerable families strong representation remains the most fulfilling aspect of his practice.

Mr. Weiss’s client-centric approach directly drives his $4 million in recoveries in the last year by prioritizing deep, individual attention for every patient. By actively listening to victims and thoroughly understanding their personal medical trauma, he builds compelling, detail-rich cases that insurance companies and juries cannot easily dismiss. Focusing on the client’s specific financial, physical and emotional needs enables him to aggressively negotiate the rightful compensation rather than settling for fast, inadequate payouts.

Upon completing his bachelor's degree in psychology at Syracuse University, Mr. Weiss earned his Juris Doctor from Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, establishing a strong foundation for his legal career. He gained his license to practice law in Pennsylvania in 1980. His exceptional skill and ethical standards have earned him an AV Preeminent* peer-review rating through Martindale-Hubbell and recognition in Best Lawyers in America.
