Lemon Law Advocates Kimmel and Silverman Honored as Pennsylvania Super Consumer Lawyers for Fifth Year in a Row

    /24-7PressRelease/ - Jenkintown, PA, May 31, 2008 - For the fifth year in a row, Robert M. Silverman and Craig Thor Kimmel, founding partners of the lemon law firm of Kimmel and Silverman, have been named Pennsylvania Super Lawyers in a survey conducted by Law and Politics Magazine. In addition, Jacqueline Herritt, Managing Attorney for the Firm and a 10-year lemon law veteran, has also been named to the 2008 list. All three lemon law attorneys are named among the best in the Consumer Law category.

The findings are published in the June 2008 edition of Philadelphia Magazine. More than 34,000 attorneys throughout Pennsylvania were asked to vote for the most effective counsel they have personally observed in action. Kimmel, Silverman and Herritt were recognized among the top 5% of all attorneys statewide for building Pennsylvania's oldest and largest full-service lemon law firm, and assisting more than 45,000 distressed drivers across the Northeast with cost-free legal representation.

Kimmel and Silverman is the only lemon law firm in the nation to be honored by the American Bar Association. Their efforts have been featured on Good Morning America, Extra, The CBS Early Show, and hundreds of newspapers and magazines including Kiplingers Personal Finance Magazine, Consumer Reports, Automotive News, Black Enterprise and USA Today. The Firm, which started out of a small office in Blue Bell, PA in 1991, has grown to include six full-service offices across Eastern and Western Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts and Delaware with a team of 19 attorneys, four certified automotive experts and a support staff of over 40 employees. The firm's attorneys have also successfully represented consumers against several automotive manufacturers in national class action suits, and expanded their practice to include automotive dealer fraud claims and unfair trade practice litigation.

In addition, Kimmel and Silverman is the only lemon law firm in the state to work with the House of Representatives in expanding the Pennsylvania Lemon Law to include leased cars and tighter title provisions for used cars. The firm has also worked with the Consumer Affairs Committee on House Bill 2284, which they hope will become the nation's first Computer Lemon Law, and testified on bills to include additional protection for Pennsylvania consumers with motorcycles and recreational vehicles. Currently, they are working with the Committee on a bill which would provide increased consumer protection to used cars buyers throughout the State.

This is the most recent honor for Kimmel and Silverman. Earlier this year, Robert Silverman was named a New Jersey Super Lawyer for a fourth year running, becoming the first lemon law attorney in the Country to be honored as a Super Lawyer in two states simultaneously, representing the top 5% of all attorneys in both states. Kimmel and Silverman is also the only lemon law firm in the Nation to be honored by the American Bar Association and Micah Buchdahl, nationally known as "The Internet Marketing Attorney," has named the Firm's website, www.lemonlaw.com as one of the best legal websites nationwide.
