Geisick, Matthew

Ms. Delgado earned her Bachelor's Degree in Religious Studies at the University of Virginia. In search of a practical application of this area of study, she began a post-baccalaureate study in interreligious dialogue at the Pontificia Universita Gregoriana, one of the Vatican's Universities in Rome.

She became drawn to the legal profession while researching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Israel and the West Bank as part of her post-baccalaureate. In an interview on citizenship and identity politics, a law professor at Jaffa University impressed upon her the power of law to actualize and permeate change within a society. Almost immediately, she decided she would go to law school.

Early in her studies at Temple University's Beasley School of Law, Ms. Delgado discovered the ways in which family law can help people manage some of the most intimate and important aspects of their lives.  Recognizing how personal relationships can play a central role in one’s identity and happiness, she shifted her focus from conflict resolution among international communities to conflict resolution among families.

Ms. Delgado began her career in family law in domestic violence court as a judicial intern to the Honorable Ida Chen in Philadelphia. She turned her academic focus in law school to family law and became an active member of the Philadelphia Bar Association's Family Law Section. She has participated in the Temple Law Inn of Court and the Nicholas A. Cipriani Family Law Inn of Court. She worked with indigent clients at Temple University’s Domestic Relations Litigation Legal Clinic. She trained as a mediator and mediated custody disputes to resolution through Temple University’s Custody Mediation Program. In law school, she won an award for her public interest volunteer work with legal clinics and other non-profit organizations.

Ms. Delgado gained further domestic relations litigation experience while working at a Philadelphia-based firm which practices exclusively family law. She began her training there during her second summer in law school and continued part-time during her final year of study. Once graduated and admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, she resumed her training under the mentorship of the experienced family law attorneys at that firm. 

In addition to Custody Mediation, Ms. Delgado has completed trainings in Collaborative Divorce and Child Advocacy.  She is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Montgomery County Bar Association Family Law Section, the Montgomery County Bar Association Diversity Committee, the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania, and the Nicholas A. Cipriani Family Law Inn of Court.

Ms. Delgado joined Shemtob Law, PC, in May 2011.
