Stephen A. Sheller is the founding partner of Sheller, P.C., one of the leading plaintiff’s personal injury, class action and whistleblower/qui tam law firms in the United States.

His long and storied career can be summed up in a few words: a principled, fervent champion for those harmed by the negligence or intentional acts of corporations or others, in need of a strong legal voice.

Mr. Sheller has been at the forefront of celebrated national lawsuits, representing pharmaceutical whistleblowers and recovering over $4.2 billion for the U.S. government: $520 million against AstraZeneca in April 2010, $2.3 billion against Pfizer Inc. in September 2009 and $1.4 billion against Eli Lilly & Company in January 2009. Serving as a lead attorney in these recent pharmaceutical cases, one is the largest civil, and the other two are the largest civil and criminal settlements in U.S. history. He continues to work with whistleblowers and is recognized as one the country’s premier experts on qui tam cases.

Mr. Sheller continues to represent clients injured by defective drugs. His representation of children injured by antipsychotic drugs was profiled on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. He recently filed cases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey on behalf of clients harmed by antipsychotic drugs Risperdal(R) and Invega(R). Boys and young men who took the drug developed gynecomastia, growth of breasts, requiring mastectomy removal. In addition to naming pharmaceutical companies, Mr. Sheller named the “ghostwriting” company who wrote the medical literature that promoted the drugs alleging they knew or should have known of the dangerous side effects. Naming the “ghostwriting” company puts corporations on notice they cannot obscure the risks of drugs by engaging a third party to write supposedly “impartial” medical articles. One of the first if not the first time, naming the “ghostwriters” demonstrates a creative approach to pharmaceutical product liability lawsuits.

Mr. Sheller and his firm represent clients throughout the United States. His practice includes pharmaceutical products injury, whistleblower/qui tam litigation, consumer protection, class actions, complex catastrophic personal injury, consumer products liability, medical device product and mass tort litigation.

The passionate and provocative views of Mr. Sheller provide regular legal commentary on The American Law Journal television program. He has appeared nationally on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” CNN, MSNBC, CBS’s Early Show, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, FOX National News and all major Philadelphia-area network news programs.

Mr. Sheller is a sought-after guest lecturer on legal matters in continuing legal education courses and national legal and medical symposia. He has presented programs and sat on distinguished panels discussing whistleblower/qui tam, tobacco, pharmaceutical products, breast implants and other medical device litigation. He has been a special presenter and lecturer on law at The National Judicial College, Northeastern Law School, the 19th and 20th Conferences of the Tobacco Products Liability Project and other educational institutions. At a program sponsored by Wall Street Journal he discussed direct to consumer pharmaceutical advertising with the CEO of Pfizer and Ralph Nader.

Mr. Sheller’s publications include “The Physician and Hospital as Potential Defendants in Drug and Medical Device Claims” in the legal textbook Pharmaceutical Law published by Harrison Company in 2000 and Law Review articles such as the Temple Law Review article “The Consumers Interest – Is It Being Protected by the Public Utility Commission.”

Mr. Sheller is in his second term appointed as a member of the Drexel University Board of Trustees, past member of the Board of Trustees of Pennsylvania State University and past and present member of the boards of several other organizations and entities, including the Salvation Army of Greater Philadelphia.

Recognized as a Pennsylvania “Super Lawyer,” Mr. Sheller has been honored each year since the award’s inception in 2003, and in 2010 was named both a Top 100 Philadelphia and Pennsylvania SuperLawyer.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but the key to settling personal injury cases for more money is a car accident attorney’s ability try such cases in Michigan courts. This is according to Steven Gursten, partner of Michigan Auto Law (https://www.michiganautolaw.com), the leading and largest law firm in the state exclusively handling car accident, truck accident and motorcycle accident personal injury cases for more than 50 years.

In this video, Gursten explains how No-Fault insurance companies and defense lawyers know which car accident attorneys have outstanding trial records. This determines whether a personal injury victim will receive a fair settlement offer from the insurance company (that does not want to face a good car accident attorney in court) or a very low settlement offer. Gursten insists that people suffering personal injuries from car accidents must research their prospective attorney’s trial record — as it makes a huge difference between a mediocre settlement and an outstanding one.

What can you do after car or truck accident? You can call Michigan Auto Law at (800) 777-0028 to speak with a car accident attorney free of charge.

Here’s what Gursten has to say: “Hi I’m Steve Gursten, and this is my first tip on how to settle cases for more money for personal injury lawyers and car accident lawyers. This is taken from my seminar that I did for the Michigan Association for Justice in June 2010. The most important tip to settle cases for more money is that you have to try cases.

This is because some insurance companies will make very unreasonable settlement offers and play hardball because they want to see what a personal injury lawyer will do. With the computers and verdict reporting software that’s out there, it’s really easy for an insurance company or a trucking company to do a verdict search on a lawyer and a law firm, to find out about that lawyer’s reputation, and his willingness to take cases to trial. So they can find out pretty quickly if it’s been 15 years since that lawyer has tried a case. From that, the insurance companies know whether to play hardball, or whether they should settle faster and for more money. And if a lawyer doesn’t take cases to trial, or have a reputation for being willing to take cases to trial, that insurance company knows that it can always settle that case cheap.

So if you’re a client out there, and you’re researching a potential lawyer to represent you, the most important thing for you to know is really, a firm’s trial reputation. The insurance industry knows it. It’s really the key to getting a better settlement and a faster settlement. If the insurance company and the people on the other side already have that information, I guess the question is, “Shouldn’t you also?”"
