Cramer Featured in The Philadelphia Lawyer
Harold Cramer was featured in the “Readers’ Comments” column in The Philadelphia Lawyer (Spring 2007, Vol. 70, No. 1). Harold discussed his experience with representing the estate of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa to collect $500,000 from a borrower in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. Based upon a response from the borrower’s attorney – stating that he and his client would come to Philadelphia to discuss payment – Harold commented that he had reason to believe there was a “resurrection” of Jimmy Hoffa and the borrower and their attorney might have been aware of Mr. Hoffa’s whereabouts.

The issue also features a photograph of Harold at the 1957 lecture given by United States Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, which was sponsored by the Pennsylvania chapter of the Order of the Coif and the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
