PaTLA’s Rosenberg Award is given annually to a trial lawyer whose devotion to injured victims, qualities of leadership and service to the organization best represent the life of the late and revered PaTLA past president, for whom the award is named.
In announcing Eisenberg as this year’s award winner, PaTLA President John M. Gallagher called him a “stalwart leader and tireless volunteer for PaTLA, a skillful litigator, and true believer in the right of injured consumers.” “Over his long and distinguished career, Stewart Eisenberg has remained deeply committed to the causes of victims. PaTLA is proud to present Stewart with the Rosenberg Award.”
