About Wayne
Wayne Hamilton studied at the University of Delaware and earned his law degree from Temple University before beginning a long career in labor and employment law. He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Those educational milestones set the stage for steady, practical work in Philadelphia-area legal circles.
He joined Galfand Berger LLP in 1999 as a labor and employment lawyer. Early in his tenure he handled matters that arose from workplace disputes and collective bargaining environments. Over time his role broadened inside the firm as he balanced casework with management responsibilities.
In 2007 Hamilton took on the position of Director of Administration at Galfand Berger LLP. In that capacity he oversaw administrative operations and helped coordinate the firm’s internal functions. The job required attention to detail and an ability to bridge the gap between attorneys and support staff. He continued to handle legal matters while carrying those administrative duties.
Hamilton maintains membership in the Philadelphia Bar Association and is active in the Association of Legal Administrators, participating in both national and local chapters. Those affiliations reflect his interest in the professional infrastructure that supports law practice. He has engaged with peers through these groups and they remain part of his professional life.
His work occurs across several locations. He maintains a presence at the firm’s Philadelphia headquarters and its Reading and Bethlehem-Allentown offices. He is also associated with activity at the USW Local 6996 Hall. That geographic range has kept him connected to clients and organizations across the region.
Colleagues describe him as a practical lawyer who combines courtroom and administrative experience. He has navigated changes in labor law over multiple decades and applied that background to the matters that come through the firm. He handles cases and administrative responsibilities in equal measure and adapts as issues evolve.
As of 2026 Hamilton continues to practice at Galfand Berger LLP, handling labor and employment matters across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. His current practice centers on labor and employment law matters in the region.
