Philadelphia Construction Lawyers
Attorney Jeffrey Laffey
Before founding Laffey, Bucci & Kent, Pennsylvania construction lawyer, Jeffrey Laffey, represented hundreds of injured construction workers from all trades - including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, cement masons, iron-workers, laborers, and operating engineers. He has often lectured to various construction trades on workplace and on the job safety matters, and he enjoys long-standing, close relationships with a great variety of union representatives. This is due in no small part to Mr. Laffey's loyalty to his roots. He is the proud son of a union carpenter, who finds himself fortunate now to be in a position to help workers and their families who come into harm's way through no fault of their own. Mr. Laffey considers himself to be a "blue collar guy with a blue collar approach to the practice of law," and stands firm in the belief that the true mark of a great attorney is always putting the client first.

Paul has built a significant expertise in representing victims of catastrophic, severe, and work-related on the job injuries. He was named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer – Rising Star in 2008. Of particular note, Mr. Bucci was one of the lead attorneys representing those severely injured or killed in the Tropicana Casino parking garage collapse case in Atlantic City, New Jersey – which resulted in the largest construction accident settlement in U.S. history.
