Laura Feldman

Laura Feldman – Of Counsel

After receiving her B.S. in Biology from Syracuse University and her law degree from St. Mary’s School of Law (San Antonio), Ms. Feldman began her legal career as a defense lawyer at LaBrum and Doak. In 1991, she entered a practice with her father and her grandfather, with a concentration in medical malpractice law and complex litigation.

When her father retired in 1994, Ms. Feldman and Attorney Rosemary Pinto formed the law firm of Feldman & Pinto, a boutique plaintiffs’ firm and the first all-female owned trial law firm in Philadelphia.

Since Feldman & Pinto’s inception, Ms. Feldman has litigated numerous medical malpractice, drug and medical device injury, and other personal injury cases, achieving many 6- and 7-figure settlements and verdicts for her clients.

Super Lawyers has recognized her as a “Top Rated Medical Malpractice Attorney in Philadelphia, PA” since 2005. She has received national recognition in Best Lawyers in America© since 2006.

Community Involvement

Ms. Feldman considers community involvement to be an important part of her work. She has worked diligently to help ensure that all persons in need of legal representation receive legal services regardless of their ability to pay. Most of the firm’s clients do not have the money to hire a lawyer and have to depend on attorneys who will represent them without charging a fee up front.

Feldman & Pinto strives to provide the highest quality professional services to clients—most of whom are seriously injured—without concern for their ability to pay. Ms. Feldman’s hope is that this may even the playing field a bit between the individual and corporate America.

Advocating for equal access to the courts has been a very important part of Ms. Feldman’s and Feldman & Pinto’s practice over the years. As chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Public Interest Section in 2008, Ms. Feldman led efforts to address the legal needs and rights of minorities, the poor, abuse victims, persons with disabilities, the homeless, and other members of society who often lack advocates to speak on their behalf.
