About Wapner Newman

A Legacy Built on Compassion and Excellence

Since 1978, Wapner Newman has stood as a pillar of the Philadelphia legal community, advocating for those who have been injured through no fault of their own. Founded by Morton Wapner and Robert Newman, our firm was built on a clear vision: to dedicate our practice exclusively to protecting victim rights, with an unwavering focus on personal injury and medical malpractice cases.

From the beginning, Bob and Mort understood that successful representation required more than just legal knowledge and experience – it demanded aggression in the courtroom, genuine care for clients, and a relentless commitment to maximizing claim value while helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Nearly five decades later, that legacy continues to define everything we do.

Respected. Recognized. Results-Driven.

Wapner Newman isn't just known throughout the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region, we're respected. Our founders were prominent figures in the legal community, recognized not only for their skill but for the way they carried themselves and treated their clients. That respect has been earned and maintained through three generations of managing partners: Bob Newman, Marc Brecher, and Robert S. Miller, each committed to upholding the firm's tradition of excellence.

These victories represent more than numbers, they represent lives changed, families protected, and futures secured.

More Than Victories: Making a Meaningful Impact

At Wapner Newman, we understand that every case – whether it results in an $8,000 settlement or an $8 million verdict – has the power to transform someone's life. We've seen firsthand how a modest settlement can allow clients to experience financial security for the first time, or enable a family to purchase a home for their children. We've helped families establish special needs trusts that will provide care for decades to come, and we've guided clients through complex medical systems when they felt lost and overwhelmed.

This commitment to our clients' wellbeing extends far beyond the courtroom. We're big supporters of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association and the causes that protect victim rights. We take on big corporations without hesitation, armed with the resources, knowledge, and determination necessary to pursue justice.

A Firm-Wide Culture of Compassion

What truly sets Wapner Newman apart isn't just our track record or our recognition, it's our culture. From our attorneys to our staff, everyone at our firm shares the same commitment to approaching every case with compassion, integrity, and excellence. We're not interested in shortcuts or ethically questionable tactics that might deliver quick wins at the expense of our values. We practice law the right way, and we've been doing it since 1978.
