Michael Cardamone Named to Best Lawyers in America
Congratulations to our own, Michael W. Cardamone, President of Cardamone Law, who was recently named to the prestigious Best Lawyers in America 2025 Edition. Cardamone was recognized for his leadership and result in Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Law, on behalf of injured workers.
“Recognition by Best Lawyers® is based entirely on peer review. Our process is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area”, says the Best Lawyers® website.
The website also states: “Our rigorous Purely Peer Review® ensures that the 79,116 honorees in The Best Lawyers in America and the 26,916 recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are leaders in their fields. These individuals are respected by their colleagues, showcasing them as the most distinguished members of the legal community.
As an industry-driven professional recognition, it is the opinion of lawyers themselves that determines our awards,’ said Elizabeth Petit, Director of Research & Development and Managing Editor at Best Lawyers. ‘We received record-breaking voter participation in this year’s editions of both The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America. As an organization, we also reached a milestone in the U.S., surpassing 250,000 individual voters since we began asking our core question over 40 years ago: ‘If you are unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this nominee?’ With more engagement from the market, the barrier for recognition is higher and more competitive than ever before. This reflects not only the profession’s commitment to celebrating professional excellence, but also the increasing importance of every voice in shaping the standards of legal distinction.’”
Attorney Cardamone has been helping injured workers since 1999. He graduated from St. Joe’ Prep in Philadelphia, then attended Boston College where he obtained his BA in Philosophy, with a concentration in English as well. After BC, he attended Villanova Law, where he won membership to the Sports & Entertainment Law Journal as a result of a writing competition. He landed his first job in the Fall of 1999 after passing the Bar Exam, and immediately was thrown into court on Workers’ Compensation cases for injured workers. His down to earth personality was a great fit for this niche of law, and he’s never looked back.
There are many awards in the legal community -probably too many. A large percentage of them make you pay for a “badge” or to be on their website etc. Best Lawyers®is strictly based on peer review and they don’t ask for money for a lawyer to be selected. This is a similar dynamic to the Super Lawyers where one need not pay anything to be selected and publish the award. We are so thankful that Attorney Cardamone’s hard work over 25 years has been recognized.
