A Message From the Editor

Revenue was generally up for Pa.'s Second Hundred law firms, but profitability was more of a mixed bag. One firm, however, was a standout, achieving double-digit revenues. That's according to our first story this morning from Amanda O'Brien. Also, we have news about a Scranton attorney getting jail time for forging documents and tampering with records, and the proposed $45 million settlement with Eckert Seamans over the Par Funding scandal is moving forward.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
