Samuel Anyan
The register holds him at a different firm from the one whose site carries his biography — Wapner Newman on the record, The Cochran Firm on the page — at the same address and the same suite. His listing is one of three here where the two disagree.
The bar record
We read Samuel Anyan 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
The Board’s record gives his employer as Wapner Newman Attorneys at Law at 1628 JFK Blvd, Suite 800. His biography is published by The Cochran Firm, Philadelphia — at 1628 JFK Boulevard, Suite 800. Same building, same floor, two firm names. We print both and say which is which; the register is the one filed with the Board.Verified
The rideshare page cites Pennsylvania’s transportation network company provisions by section number. Two pages in fifteen do that. Most describe the law without ever naming it.Verified
The same page then says Mr. Miller focuses his legal work on personal injury and motor vehicle accident litigation — a lawyer who is named nowhere else on the page and never introduced. Anyan’s own name does not appear on it at all.Verified
Its FAQ tells readers they can reasonably expect the settlement check within two weeks of your agreement. That is a concrete promise about someone else’s payment process, and it is the only timing guarantee we have read on any firm page across fifteen cities.Verified
