Bio
Brett A. Wolfson obtained his law degree in 1999 from Rutgers University School of Law in Camden. His undergraduate degree is in Philosophy from West Chester University in 1993. Usually retained by excess or primary insurers, Brett typically defends clients in cases where liability is alleged to have resulted in catastrophic injuries or death and damages are alleged in the millions or tens-of-millions. He also handles non-catastrophic injury cases in which he makes every effort to resolve them as efficiently and economically as possible. Subject matters of Brett’s cases include products liability, premises liability, construction and/or workplace accidents, slip and fall, motor vehicle liability, medical and dental malpractice. One of the specialties of Brett’s practice group is stepping-in late in litigation of complex cases as trial counsel, frequently litigating these cases through trial and to verdict.
A Philadelphia native, Brett has also served under two Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judges (Sandra Mazer Moss and Joseph D. O’Keefe) providing him with valuable experience and familiarity with the inner-workings of the Philadelphia Courts. Brett has litigated and tried cases (1st and 2nd chair) throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in both state and federal court, and the State of New Jersey where he is also licensed.
