 Do I have a case?

Jay Shor, Esquire, is the managing partner of the 30-year-old law firm, Shor & Levin, P.C. The Jenkintown law firm represents injured workers and their families through the complex maze of workers compensation law and personal injury law.

Jay received his B.A. in Liberal Arts from Pennsylvania State University in 1964 and served in the U.S. Army in 1968. After graduating with his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1971, he began his career as an advocate for the impoverished as counsel with Community Legal Services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Then switched his focus to victims of crime by becoming an Assistant District Attorney in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania where he was elevated to Chief of Trials.
