Almost seventeen years ago, he co-founded Miller, Alfano and Raspanti. Raspanti also served for almost six years as a disciplinary hearing committee member in Philadelphia.
The Disciplinary Board is an independent agency funded by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and consists of 16 members, 14 attorneys and two non-lawyers from across the state. It assists the Supreme Court in carrying out its exclusive jurisdiction over the licensing and discipline of attorneys in Pennsylvania. The members meet regularly to decide cases, policies and board administrative matters.
Raspanti concentrates his practice in white-collar criminal defense as well as criminal and civil health care fraud litigation. He was placed in the top five percent of the Pennsylvania bar, by his peers, as one of Pennsylvania's Super Lawyers in 2004 and 2005. Governor Edward G. Rendell selected him to serve as a commissioner on the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, where he chaired a working group on white-collar crime.
Raspanti is a member of the Federal, American, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia bar associations. He practices law at Miller, Alfano and Raspanti in which he is a founding shareholder. Along with white-collar criminal defense, the firm also practices criminal and civil health care fraud defense, federal and state qui tam litigation, SEC enforcement action defense, insurance insolvency and coverage disputes, employment litigation and intellectual property litigation. He received his law degree from Temple University School of Law in 1984 and earned a B.A. from Villanova University. Raspanti has been married for 25 years, has three children and resides in Middletown, Pa. (Delaware County).
The Disciplinary Board's goals are to protect the general public, maintain a high standard of integrity in the legal profession, and safeguard the reputation of the courts of Pennsylvania.
