About Wally
CHANGE REQUIRES BOLD LEADERSHIP
Wally Zimolong was born, raised, and educated in the Philadelphia area. Wally’s strong work ethic, sense of accountability, belief in opportunity for all, and common sense come from his upbringing. Wally saw his father use these core values to build a successful small business from nothing. As the grandson of a police officer and a World War II veteran, Wally was taught that the core American values of respect for the law and American pride are fundamental.
Wally graduated Bishop Eustace, Villanova University, and Villanova Law School. Wally is the first member of his family to graduate from law school and he is admitted to practice in all courts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
As an attorney, Wally practices construction litigation and construction law. His clients include general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, who have helped build many of the City’s landmarks.
Wally believes in community. He sits on the Executive Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association Real Property Section. Wally is also on the Board of Directors of the Blue White Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit organization providing scholarships to Villanova University students.Wally is also a member of the Union League of Philadelphia.
Wally resides in South Philadelphia just off 9th Street in the heart of the Italian Market with Bubba, his black Labrador retriever.
Now, Wally wants to apply to government the same lessons he has applied to life - hard work, telling it like it is, responsibility, and his belief that people can do better.
