Christopher Tinari, Margolis Edelstein

Tinari is described as a masterful litigator. He has tried cases in both federal and state courts located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. From him, associates have learned how to mentor other younger attorneys, passing on the skills he taught them. When building up the department, Tinari was very focused on having strong diversity in new attorneys hired. The employment practice liability (EPL) group is predominantly female, with attorneys from a varied ethnic and social-political background.

According to his colleague Michael R. Miller: "Over the time I have worked with Chris, he has built up the EPL department at Margolis Edelstein from just two associates to having four partners and 10 associates located in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Mount Laurel and Delaware locations.

He has also made efforts to show true compassion and care for the attorneys he has mentored, attending significant life events (weddings, funerals, christenings) for those he is teaching how to build a law practice."
