Personal Introduction

Mike is admitted to practice before the Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the District of New Jersey, the Eastern District of Michigan, Northern District of Ohio, and the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Further, Mike has been granted permission to appear in life insurance cases in federal courts in both New Mexico and Florida. Michael A. Wentz earned his two B.A. degrees, cum laude, in Education and History from Rowan University. After graduating, Mike began to forge his path towards helping those in need by becoming a high school history teacher and sports coach where he grew up in southern New Jersey. After three years of teaching and coaching, he followed his passion to law school at Drexel University’s Kline School of Law. In law school, Mike’s love of competition drew him to Drexel’s nationally ranked mock trial team. Mike helped carry on Drexel’s legacy of success when, as a second-year law student, he and his teammates won the Philadelphia Regional American Association for Justice (AAJ) Student Trial Advocacy Competition. The success continued into Mike’s third year when he was named “Outstanding Advocate” in the “Summit Cup,” an invite-only competition open to the top-12 mock trial teams around the U.S. hosted by the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Towards the end of Mike’s law school career, his trial advocacy ability was recognized by the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association’s decision to present him with the James J. Manderino Award for Trial Advocacy. Ultimately, Mike’s time at Drexel’s Kline School of Law culminated in earning his J.D., cum laude. That same year, he was admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
