This month Philadelphia VIP recognizes S. Jerry Weissman, Esq. for his outstanding volunteer assistance to VIP clients.

Jerry Weissman has been volunteering with VIP since 1998. He consistently treats his family law clients with genuine kindness and tireless commitment. Jerry consistently goes beyond the scope of what is expected to ensure that all of his clients’ legal issues are addressed.

Recently, Jerry accepted a pro bono divorce case. He called VIP shortly thereafter to say that they needed to open a support and a custody matter as well, and that he would be happy to assist the client with all three.

Later, when an issue arose for the client that involved a criminal law matter, Jerry sought advice on the best course of action for her.

As a mentor, Jerry also goes above and beyond the call of duty. Recently he agreed to mentor a new attorney on a family law case. Jerry took her under his wing and has continued to work with her on a variety of VIP and fee-based cases.

Less than a year out of law school she now has three of her own VIP cases and is gaining experience, skills, and confidence in Family Court thanks to Jerry’s tutelage and support.

For his commitment and dedication to VIP's  clients and his fellow volunteers, Philadelphia VIP offers its heartfelt appreciation to Jerry Weissman.
