Meet David Kelner
A lawyer who shows up for his clients, not just their cases.
David’s approach to the law started long before he opened his own practice. As a law student at Villanova, he worked at the Civil Justice Clinic, helping indigent clients navigate a wide range of civil issues. That early experience shaped the way he practices today: with patience, care, and a genuine commitment to the person sitting across from him.
Today, David’s practice is focused entirely on helping workers who were exposed to asbestos on the job. He’s seen firsthand what a mesothelioma diagnosis does to a family, and he built his firm around giving each client the direct, personal attention they deserve.
