David L. Kwass
His published practice is cranes, aerial lifts, guardrails and workplace falls — not motor vehicles. The rideshare page behind this listing is his firm's, names nobody, and ends its results section with a colon followed by nothing.
The bar record
We read David L. Kwass in the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s attorney search. Every row below is the Board’s — this register carries no self-reported practice block at all.
Eleven registers, and this is the first that does not ask the question. Texas prints “No Public Disciplinary History”. Florida gives ten years. Washington shows a blank and warns its search may miss things. New York answers and then sends you to the Appellate Division. California prints a docket and links the court file. Massachusetts says “None” or “Yes” and links the decision. Pennsylvania’s attorney detail has no disciplinary field on it at all. So this listing carries a dash — the third distinct reason for a dash on this site, and the only one that is about the shape of the form rather than the content of the answer. The Board publishes discipline elsewhere; we have not searched those resources, and until we do, no green tick belongs here.
What it does publish is unique in the other direction. Where Washington and Massachusetts record professional liability insurance as a yes-or-no, Pennsylvania prints a sentence in the lawyer’s own voice, with a figure and a rule citation: “I maintain… at least $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 in the aggregate… as set forth in Rule of Professional Conduct 1.4(c).” It is still a self-report. But of eleven registers, this is the only one that quotes the lawyer speaking rather than summarising them into a checkbox. It also gives a county and a disciplinary district, administrative geography no other register on this site publishes.
What the record shows
His biography lists crane and aerial lift accidents, equipment tip-overs, guardrail failures, automobile crashworthiness, electrical contacts, workplace falls, recreational products and liquor liability. He chairs his association’s Crane and Aerial Lift Litigation Group and co-chairs its Guardrail group. Rideshare work appears nowhere on it.Verified
The firm’s rideshare page names no individual attorney at all, which is why this listing is tagged Firm page only — the same treatment we gave listings in Boston, Orlando and San Diego.Verified
Under the heading UNMATCHED RESULTS the page ends: our results speak for themselves: and then stops. The colon leads to an empty list. It is the third page in this batch that begins a list and does not finish it.Verified
Three numbers again: (215) 496-8282 on the record, 215.575.2978 on his biography, 215.484.4091 on the firm’s page.Verified
