Marc G. Brecher

My practice has been limited to personal injury litigation since 1985 when I joined Wapner Newman.  The focus of my practice is medical malpractice litigation.  I have litigated medical malpractices cases to verdict in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the States of New Jersey and Delaware where I have been admitted to practice Pro Hac Vice on numerous occasions.  A special interest of mine is birth trauma obstetrical malpractice.

I was named Managing Partner at Wapner Newman in 2009.  I am currently serving a three year term on the Board of Directors of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
