About

Michael is an experienced, well-respected litigator and trial attorney.He concentrates his practice in litigation, specifically personal injury matters including wrongful death and catastrophic injury, as well as a wide range of complex municipal matters. He also currently serves as the Solicitor to the Montgomery County Controller.Born in lower Bucks County, Bristol, Pa, Michael learned to value both hard work and education from his mother, who taught at Pennsbury for 40 years and his father who was a laborer and roofer. Michael’s father immigrated here from Calabria, Italy, where most of his relatives still live in a small southern town named Pedivigliano. Clients benefit from his perfect mix of real-world and legal experience. Prior to returning to school for law, Michael worked for several years with troubled teens in and around Philadelphia. Helping families at their darkest times inspired him to return to school to become an attorney.Following a two year clerkship with the esteemed President Judge Alex Bonavitacola, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Michael defended businesses, insurance companies and municipalities. He argued before the Delaware Supreme Court (making new law on indemnification), as well as the Federal Courts under zoning and land use statutes representing local townships/zoning boards. This experience directly benefits the clients he now represents, because he has been on “both sides of the fence” and understands how insurance companies, municipalities and their attorneys review and handle matters.Michael has since spent over 20 years focusing on litigation, 8 of those years litigating high profile matters and representing catastrophically injured victims while employed at one of the largest personal injury firms in Pennsylvania, the renowned Anapol Schwartz in Philadelphia. Lawyers across Pennsylvania rely on a book that Michael co-authored, “Library of Pennsylvania Personal Injury Forms.” Michael has litigated several trials around Pennsylvania, as well as multiple seven figure verdicts and settlements, (including 2011 PA Top Jury Verdicts, #11, Legal Intelligencer).

I give Michael and his firm all 10s. He explained everything very well and I was extremely satisfied with everything. Michael and his paralegal Erin were excellent. If I need help in the future, I will call Michael again.

I was extremely satisfied with the representation by Michael Barbiero and his firm, Rudolph Clarke. Everything was GREAT! Michael really fought for me and looked out for my family and every time I called, everyone was so nice from the receptionist to the paralegals.

Michael represented me in an auto accident case. I didn't have to worry about anything, he kept me informed, and answered any questions I had. My car was fixed, all my bills were covered and I had no out of pocket expenses. Yes, I would recommend this lawyer.

My husband was injured in a car accident in 2007. Because of the nature of the mishap, he sustained injuries that required 2 neck surgeries and rotator cuff surgery. He spent 4-6 weeks in a hospital bed, in our home, after each procedure, with pain meds, muscle relaxants and then months of physical therapy. His pain and suffering took a great toll on his life and our day to day family life. ​When we contacted Jim Musial, his first reaction was one of quiet sympathy and support for my husband. That support continued as he accompanied my husband to evaluations of his physical and mental abilities, as well as depositions requested by the insurance company attorneys. Then after awhile, Mike Clarke became part of the team. He was strong and aggressive with the opposing counsel and throughout negotiations, he and Jim kept us constantly informed as to the progress of our case. Finally we received the compassionate but firm guidance of Mike Barbiero, who focused on the mental and emotional changes that have occurred for my husband and me during this difficult time period. ​These three men exemplified the ultimate level of professionalism, legal knowledge and empathy for both the client and family member at all times. We appreciate the time and effort they put into our case and are extremely grateful to have had attorneys like them in our corner.

I highly recommend Michael Barbiero to anyone who has had an accident and needs great representation. From the day I first met with Michael, I felt a sense of comfort with him. He displayed a genuine concern for my well-being and doing all that he could to help me. So many attorneys nowadays treat you as though you're just another number and don't communicate with you. However, this was FAR from the case with Michael. He was very helpful and always went the extra mile in keeping me updated, and making himself available to me (sometimes outside of regular business hours) whenever I had questions, concerns, or needed advisement. That was among the most important things to me in selecting a great attorney to represent me. My recovery from the car accident certainly had its ups and downs, but through it all, I knew that I had a great attorney to represent my best interests. Michael's courtesy and professionalism while working with me are much appreciated. If I had to do it over, I'd definitely choose him again!
