Meet The Susquehanna Valley's Select Lawyers
“If you had to refer a family member or friend to another lawyer, who among your colleagues would you recommend?”
This is the question that was posed to area lawyers to determine who deserves the distinction of Select Lawyer™ status. Lawyers were asked to consider reputation within the community and among colleagues and peers, quality of services provided, experience, educational background and continuing educational endeavors, and their utilization of best-practice procedures and techniques.
Nominees consisted of lawyers listed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, allowing virtually every area lawyer in the region the opportunity to participate. Once the nominations were completed, an independent market research firm, Polk-Lepson Research Group of York, Pennsylvania, compiled the responses and tabulated the results of Select Lawyers™.
Once the Select Lawyers™ list was finalized, lawyers receiving the honor were checked against The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to ensure the nominees were in good standing and were contacted to verify the information listed.
There are many outstanding lawyers who are not included on this list. A lawyer’s inclusion on the Select Lawyers™ list is based on the judgments of his or her fellow lawyers as a peer review. The Select Lawyers™ program is an outstanding directory of highly regarded lawyers in the Susquehanna Valley.

Karl Januzzi, Esq.
Workers Compensation, Personal Injury & Auto Accidents Law
Karl Januzzi’s defining characteristic is “fighter.” The tougher the challenge, the harder he fights to win. A hallmark of Karl’s legal practice is taking the tough cases that other lawyers see as un-winnable, and winning.
Growing up in Wilkes Barre, PA, the son of a factory worker, Karl’s values were founded in working class roots. Karl learned about hard work, the value of a day’s wage, and what the loss of a day’s wage means to a family struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table. He graduated from high school magna cum laude, put himself through college and graduated magna cum laude from Kings College in Wilkes Barre, PA. After years as a small business owner, Karl attended Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, PA, where he was a member of the board of the law review, the Widener Journal of Public Law. Karl again graduated magna cum laude.
As a founding partner of Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe LLP, Karl has distinguished himself over the past 23 years litigating injury cases across Pennsylvania. Karl is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania before both state and federal jurisdictions, in both the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Third Circuit. Karl’s practice consists of representing injured people in workers’ compensation claims and all manner of personal injury claims, including motor vehicle collisions, injuries due to slip and fall, medical malpractice and products liability. Karl routinely handles six figure cases and delivers the highest level of legal representation for every injured person he represents.
Mr. Januzzi has been distinguished by his fellow lawyers both as a “Select” Lawyer and by being designated as “Lead Counsel” rated by the Lead Counsel Review Board. A Certified Specialist in the Practice of Worker’s Compensation, Karl is recognized as a leader in the field by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Section on Workers’ Compensation Law as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
While recognition by your peers is rewarding, for Karl, fighting for his clients is what counts. Karl takes pride in the fact that so many of his clients are referred by people he previously represented.
Karl is husband to Elizabeth Lion Januzzi, Esq., his wife of more than 17 years. Karl and Betty reside in Harrisburg. By far, Karl’s proudest achievement is being father to his three children, son Kristopher Januzzi, Esq., of Wilkes-Barre PA; daughter Tracy Penfield Januzzi, Esq., of Arlington, VA; and daughter Ali of Harrisburg.
