Samuel B. Dordick is a personal injury attorney who focuses on catastrophic injury cases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Samuel attended the University of Miami to study biomedical engineering with plans to pursue a career in biotechnology research. These plans changed when Samuel realized that this career path would not allow him to do what he truly enjoyed the most— working with other people and fighting for what is right.
After graduating from the University of Miami in 2013, Samuel’s passion for helping others led him to Temple University Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia, where his family roots trace back over 100 years. While in law school, Samuel excelled in legal research and writing as well as trial advocacy—skills which he now utilizes to effectively advocate on behalf of his clients.
