Whether in the courtroom or the community,
Stewart L. Cohen
has worked relentlessly as an advocate on behalf of his clients for
over thirty years. Mr. Cohen has achieved seven-figure and higher
recoveries for scores of his clients over the course of his career.
Mr. Cohen is a shareholder in the firm, focusing his practice on
complex civil litigation, including medical malpractice, workplace
accidents and class actions. His skill as a trial lawyer has resulted in
a long record of successes including a "Top 100 Jury Verdict in the
United States" reported in 2005, and "Top 20 Recovery" in New Jersey
reported in 2009. His clients have included: children catastrophically
injured at birth because of substandard medical care; the victims
injured by "one of the most dangerous roadways in America" as reported
by the Philadelphia Daily News; construction workers injured by
unsafe equipment and unsafe job practices; and the class of all
investors in the Chiquita Banana Corporation in a shareholder derivative
action against the Board of Directors who had funded the actions of
Columbia's top paramilitary group Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC)
which resulted in the deaths of thousands of victims.
Through his pursuit of novel and complex cases, Mr. Cohen has made it
possible for victims of professional and corporate negligence to
successfully recover for their injuries, including: the ability of
organ donors to hold a hospital responsible for failing to inform them
of the risks of surgery; the ability to hold a state agency liable for
money damages for wrongful death; and, the ability to hold a drug
manufacturer responsible for fraudulent marketing practices.
