“I really feel the time is right for me to bring my practice to WGP. As many of my clients have been with me for years, I wanted to be with a firm that could properly service and support them; and, I believe WGP has the personnel and resources to do just that. In addition, Len Baker and I were partners for over 15 years in the long-standing firm of Mitnick, Josselson, DePersia and Baker; and, it is certainly great to be working with him again,” said Mr. DePersia.
WGP’s managing partner, Ronald Greenblatt, said, “It is really an honor that Rocco has chosen to merge his practice with ours. I have long admired both his legal ability and the way he deals with people. He is not just an amazing lawyer, but he is an amazing person. We have worked on cases together for years, and to now work with him on an everyday basis is really a special moment for everyone at the firm.”

He has also arranged, produced, and promoted hundreds of concerts and dances throughout the Philadelphia/South Jersey area; and, he opened, owned, and operated Camden’s iconic Nice Little Bar. In addition, he advised and managed numerous professional boxers culminating in 1995 when one of his fighters, Bruce Seldon, became the WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World.
