Philadelphia, PA commercial litigation attorney Stanley Cheiken talks about what makes his firm different and what you should look for in hiring a lawyer. He states that with his more than 35 years of experience, he has tried jury trials, non-jury trials, and arbitrations, handling virtually every type of business dispute to conclusion in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, including both Pennsylvania and New Jersey in state and federal courts. He is known for being trial-ready and for achieving results in court, whether representing plaintiffs or defendants.

He emphasizes that choosing the right attorney requires more than relying on reputation alone. In his view, the most important step is to have a meaningful conversation with the lawyer—discussing the facts, strategy, goals, and budget of the case. Not every attorney will be the right fit, and he advises that clients take the time to ensure alignment before making such an important decision.
