    The Hon. Nelson A. Díaz is Of Counsel at Dilworth Paxson following a trailblazing career in the legal profession. A 1972 graduate of Temple Law School, he was the youngest judge to serve on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas at the time of his election in 1981, and the first Latinx judge in Pennsylvania history.

    Judge Díaz served as the city solicitor of Philadelphia and was appointed by President Clinton to be the general counsel for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. He is a leader in the Latinx community and a member of Temple University’s Board of Trustees.
