SW Attorney Participates in Wills Case Before Supreme Court

One of our newest attorneys, Nick Botta, was recently involved in litigation reaching the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  Nick represented clients before the Superior Court of Pennsylvania in a case involving the construction of a decedent’s will, the beneficiary designation procedures of a multiemployer employer pension plan, and even religious practices arising under Islamic and Sharia law.  Nick also participated in the appeal before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  Nick’s clients’ position was upheld by an evenly-split Supreme Court decision issued on June 17, 2013, in Alkhafaji v. TIAA-CREF.
