The central office of Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania immediately across from beautiful and historic Rittenhouse Square. The dynamic growth and entrepreneurial spirit of our firm is paralleled by the intensified business spirit of Philadelphia, the home of many health, legal, manufacturing, architectural and engineering enterprises.
Philadelphia is the nation's fifth largest metropolitan area and is the second largest city on the East Coast. It boasts the presence of some 49 colleges and universities, 24 teaching hospitals and a state-of-the-art telecommunications and information system.
The contrast between the historical aspects of Philadelphia, with such notable attractions as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Betsy Ross House, and its new and growing skyline, consisting of such ambitious modern structures as Liberty Place and other skyscrapers, is quite striking.
