Michael Cavaliere

When corporations, hospitals, and doctors cause catastrophic harm, Michael Cavaliere has made a career of getting extraordinary results for his clients. Through hard work, preparation, and honest practice, Michael is known as a lawyer who outworks the other side on every file to ensure his clients get the justice they deserve.

Michael, one of the firm's founding partners, has focused his legal career on claims involving medical malpractice and other catastrophic personal injury cases. Michael is known for exceptional medical knowledge and expertise in malpractice matters. He is a proven trial lawyer and litigator. Today, he utilizes that insider expertise to fight for victims, retaining subspecialty physicians early, before a lawsuit is even filed. This rigorous, honest approach ensures the answers a family receives are grounded in medical facts rather than false hope, helping him secure over $250 million in recoveries for his clients as lead and co-counsel.

Before co-founding the firm, Michael spent nearly a decade, and was a partner, at Kline & Specter, a nationally recognized personal injury firm. Prior to this, Michael spent the first four years of his career defending some of the largest hospitals and healthcare systems in the Philadelphia area. Because he knows exactly how healthcare corporations protect themselves, he understands how to dismantle their defenses. Michael also gained broad legal experience, both civil and criminal, with positions as a law clerk and a variety of internships.

His relentless courtroom advocacy has earned him recognition by The Best Lawyers in America and designation as a Pennsylvania Rising Star by Super Lawyers, an honor reserved for the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state who are 40 or younger or practicing 10 years or less.

Michael has a lifelong history of academic excellence. He earned his law degree summa cum laude from the Thomas R. Kline School of Law, finishing third in his class, and his undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Temple University. He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and maintains active memberships in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey bar associations.

When he is not preparing for trial, Michael enjoys cooking, cycling, film, and spending time with his wife, daughter, and son.
