Biography
As founder of the firm, personal injury lawyer Stewart J. Eisenberg has represented victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death for more than 40 years, having tried over 50 jury trials. He is one of the region’s most accomplished trial lawyers, with many awards and recognitions.
Among his distinctions, Stewart has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America for the areas of Medical Malpractice Law (2013 – present), Personal Injury Litigation (2014 – present), and Product Liability Litigation (2016 – present). He has been named on the SuperLawyers list for more than 20 years.
Stewart holds the distinction of achieving, at the time, the largest crashworthiness verdict in Pennsylvania history. He achieved his first multimillion-dollar verdict within six years of graduating from law school, securing a verdict in the landmark case of Feld v. Merrian, where he represented the victims of a brutal criminal assault against the security company and the landlord of an apartment complex for failing to provide adequate security.
“It’s heartwarming and it’s also something I take great pride in, that I can make a difference in people’s lives.”
At the time of the Boy Scouts of America’s bankruptcy proceedings and the formation of the Plan of Reorganization in connection with the tens of thousands of sexual abuse cases brought against the organization, Eisenberg, Winkler, Jeck, Schwartz, Schoenhaus & Sherry, along with its co-counsel, represented the largest group of claimants in the U.S.
