Beginning in 2010, John was nominated by his peers and named one of Pennsylvania's "Rising Stars" by Philadelphia Magazine in the area of business litigation, an honor bestowed upon less than 2.5 percent of Pennsylvania's lawyers. Mr. Ebken has represented his clients in cases filed throughout the state and federal courts situated in Pennsylvania, and has appeared on their behalf before courts and quasi-judicial tribunals located in thirty-six other states around the country. He also regularly drafts and negotiates business agreements, during which he draws upon insight gained through litigating such agreements. Mr. Ebken's clients operate in a number of different industries, including the energy, telecommunications, financial, steel, chemicals and health care industries, and he has developed substantive expertise in many of those areas. Mr. Ebken has also served as outside general counsel to a multi-national tableware manufacturer and distributor for many years.
