Located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Jenkintown is a borough north of Center City Philly. The borough was named after a Welsh pioneer settler, Stephen Jenkins. Just outside Philly, Jenkintown settled around 1697 right between Abington and Cheltenham Townships and became incorporated in 1874.
Primarily a residential community, the borough separates its East and West residential neighborhoods by the Business District that runs along Old York Road, also known as Route 611. The majority of the residential area is located on the borough's West side, with tons of traditional single-family homes, duplexes, apartment complexes, and row homes.
The borough contains two fire departments that were founded over 125 years ago, called the Pioneer Fire Company #1 and the Independent Fire Company #2. The Pioneer Company was founded in 1884, and the Independent Company was founded in 1889 as a part of the borough's historical division between Catholics and Protestants.
The Jenkintown Elementary School and Jenkintown High School are conveniently located in the middle of the residential area, ideal for easy commute. The Jenkintown School District also includes St. Josephs, the Protector Regional Catholic School, as well as an independent Quaker school called Abington Friends School, which serves children from 3-12 years of age and has been a part of the neighborhood since 1697.
Based on the census from 2010, Jenkintown has a racial mixture of about 87% White, 5% Black or African American, 3% Hispanic or Latino, 2% Asian, and the remaining races hold 1.8% of the population.

“I have been working since I was 14. I have probably held at least two dozen different jobs and I’ve seen people injured and hurt. One of the reasons I got involved with disability law is that I have a very good family friend who has been disabled his entire life, and I’ve seen how he’s struggled in order to keep working and try to work. When I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with what’s called “disability law,” I was really thrilled to be able to not only practice being an attorney, but helping other people who really need to know things about what their choices are, what they can do, and what their future may hold.
I am originally from Maple Glen, PA and is a life-long Eagles fan.
I have focused on helping individuals with their workers’ compensation, social security disability and long-term disability claims, as well as obtaining financial security for individuals who have had accidents.
As part of helping workers’ and their families, I have also been active in teaching continuing legal education courses to other attorneys, provide free seminars and webinars to the public on how to protect their rights, and I am active in various organizations such as the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.”
